The Invincible Iron Man (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can disregard the other customer reviews as they are just people rating their inability to purchase the product they wanted. If you couldn't read the product information page far enough to see that this was a Marvel animated movie and not the live action movie starring Robert Downey Jr that is your own problem. Please don't write negative reviews of something that have nothing to do with the actual product. That is dishonest and doesn't help your fellow online shoppers.
That being said if you like Marvel's other animated movies (The Avengers, The Avengers 2, Dr. Strange etc...) then you will like this movie. The animation is top notch and the voice work is decent. It is a well done Iron Man origin story and I hope to see more animated movies in Marvel's future.

Iron Man: Armored Adventures Complete Season 1 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the show first premiered, I was a bit reluctant on trying it out, but after tuning in for only a few episodes, I was hooked on not only the well-crafted storyline, but also the interesting cast of characters that would help carry the show throughout its first season. Howard Stark is killed in the first episode, and his son Tony must carry on his father's goal of collecting and researching the five magical Makluan rings. During this journey, he must also come to terms with his father's death, and the legacy he left behind when Tony is set to inherit the company when he turns eighteen. Along for the ride are Tony's friends, who all contribute something to either the storyline itself or to the development of our hero; who grows over the course of the series. The villains who are introduced feel like actual fleshed out characters, from the unstable and misguided Living Laser to the enigmatic and tragic Madame Masque, rather than obstacles that the hero must fight for the sake of filling time. As the show progresses, Tony begins to realize hidden secrets about his father he didn't know about and things begin to tie back to the late Howard Stark and how everything starts coming together in the end.
The cel-shaded animation is a unique look for the show, and helps it stand out from not only the other CG properties currently airing on television, but also the traditional animated shows as well. The cinematography is creative and dynamic; not only making the fight scenes fun to watch, but everyday tasks look and animated beautifully. While certainly no match for the theatrical works of Pixar and Disney, this show certainly feels like an aesthetic standard that all CG properties on television should strive to achieve.
Overall, I found this show to be a lot more than I thought it would be; especially in a genre I lost interest in long ago. I recommend this show to any sci-fi fans, superhero fans, or maybe even a mecha anime fan if you got time to kill. Really, anyone simply looking for an animated show with a good, developed story and a memorable cast characters should check it out.

The Super Hero Squad Show: Volume One (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great show for my kids but also some in jokes for those of us who know the real Marvel characters and a couple of puns that will go right over kids' heads. My biggest and guess only complaint is that there is only 7 out of the 26 episodes from the first season. It appears to be the first seven episodes. The stories on the show are minimally based on any actual classic Marvel story (although the episode title screen is a re-imagined comic cover). Basic good guy vs. bad guy with main characters of Iron Man, Hulk, Surfer, Thor, Falcon, Wolverine, Reptil vs. Dr. Doom, Abomination and MODOK. A lot of esoteric guest characters and every character is given one obvious personality quirk. Again this is really for little kids but you'll laugh too.
The episodes are:
And Lo...A Pilot Shall Come!
This Silver, This Surfer!
Hulk Talk Smack!
To Err is Superhuman!
Enter: Dormammu!
A Brat Walks Among Us!
Oh Brother!
Also there's bonus features of an interview with Stan Lee, the video of the theme song and a trailer for the video game.

When the greatest heroes on the planet unite to face the wickedest villains in the world, you get the biggest, most family-friendly Super Hero alliance in TV history . . . the Super Hero Squad! It is no small job protecting Super Hero City from the wild, weird and even wacky villainy of the infamous baddies of VillainVille. . . but Iron Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, Thor and the Falcon are always up for the job. Together the Squad must keep the allies of Dr. Doom from gathering pieces of the Infinity Sword: otherwise Doom will use the Sword to rule the universe! Luckily, the City is filled with Marvel Super Hero guest-stars to help out in a pinch. These brave heroes totally deliver the action, but with plenty of humor on the side. Featuring the guest voices of Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), Robert Englund (A Nightmare On Elm Street), Tricia Helfer ( Battlestar Galactica), Greg Grunberg (Heroes), James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Stan Lee!

Marvel Animation: 6 Film Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This box set collects the first 6 animated films from the 'Marvel Animated Features' collection: Ultimate Avengers - The Movie, Ultimate Avengers 2 (Rise of the Panther), The Invincible Iron Man, Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme, The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, and Hulk Vs.. Note that these are exactly the same discs you would get if you bought the movies individually, right down to the shrink-wrapped packaging. The Hulk Vs disc is the single disc edition and not the 2-disc set which had a few more bonus features.
As with all other similar collected box sets, the value you get ultimately depends on how many of these films you already own. If you're a die-hard Marvel fan, you probably bought most of these as they came out. But if you only own a few (say 1 or 2), this is a nice way to snag all the current releases in one go. Or as a gift to someone who hasn't checked these out yet.
In all, Marvel's got a good slate here. Those interested in Iron Man and the Hulk will be glad to know they pop up quite frequently throughout the 6 films, while the Avengers get some decent exposure in anticipation of their forthcoming movie and a film for the lesser-known Doctor Strange is a pleasant surprise. The quality of the films ranges from good to excellent - the early entries run into the usual story, acting, and animation issues associated with direct-to-video releases, but Marvel seems to learn with every entry and the newest one (Hulk Vs) is particularly excellent. The films are PG to PG-13 and a little more adult than usual Saturday morning fare.
A good gift set for the uninitiated. Looking forward to the next animated releases.

The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not up on the current floppies (I'm a Silver Age guy), so I don't know if this timeline is canon or not. But it sure was fun seeing a glimpse of what happens to Tony Stark and David Banner in the future--and the action is creative and non-stop. I've enjoyed both previous Avengers movies; this one's different, but exciting in its own way. If you like Iron Man, check it out. Stark plays a huge role.
