I'd bet that compared to X-Men 3, this will be an Oscar-caliber film.
I don't see why people are so hard on "Ultimate Avengers". It found the perfect middle ground between Ultimates (aka "The Everyone's an *******-Avengers") and the real Avengers. It was a fun story that was well-executed and is the best Marvel animation we've ever gotten if you ask me.
I too am excited for this. Most of Marvel's flagship books are terrible, X-Men 3 was terrible, they're ditching Toy Biz... at least I can get some entertainment out of the Ultimate Avengers films.
One thing that really bothered me about it is that it had absolutely no idea what it wanted to be. It was a bit too mature for a kids movie (lots of death, violence, etc)...yet it wasn't really mature enough for adults either (Thor burping, stupid cliches, dumbed down plot, and so on). It was stuck in some bizzare middle ground...that was a distraction from an already weak film.
The problem people have with it is simple. It was just....bad. The story was cliche (rag tag group has to come together to save the world). It was rushed as well (We knew nothing about the aliens motivations, the character's pasts, etc). There was no character developments. Every character was a horrible cliche (You had the loner, the wise-ash arrogant "I should be the leader" guy, the uncertain, fish out of water leader, the loner, the tough neo-feminist girl, the military hard ash, yet loveable authoritarian, the eye candy, and who can forget....the loner). The sad attempts at comedy were horrible (Thor burping? Give me a break, burping wasn't funny in the early 90s and it certainly isn't funny now) And finally, it was anti-climactic. The alien threat, that the entire movie built up to...was done in about 5 minutes with very little troube. Then the Hulk went crazy out of no where.
I seriously wonder if the producers pretty much said:
Producer 1: Aliens defeated! We, are, outta here!
Producer 2: Umm, chief, the run time is only about 50 minutes.
Producer 1:..........oh......ummm.....JUST TURN THE HULK EVIL! THAT'LL KILL SOME TIME!
It was just all around weak.
To me your logic is flawed. Compared to all the 90s shows to me this is a huge and I mean huge step back from all the older shows.
Kind of iffy on the War Machine armor but it looks like they'll have a good explaination (Iron Man's armor being trashed...conveniently leaving the way for him to create even better armor to fight off the aliens)...I'm hoping the Black Panther doesn't only fire claws in this movie either. I want to see him shown as being Cap's superior...And once seen in motion, that costume isn't too bad.
