I walked away from the first Ultimate Avengers movie somewhat underwhelmed, I felt it lacked depth and a decent antagonist.

Though this suffers from many of the same issues I consider it an improvement. Although there is little story to speak of its direct continuation gives it an additional star from me.

Telling the story of the Chitauri returning to attack Africa and the Black Panther joining the Avengers to fend them off. Pretty standard stuff, but its been done relatively well.

I'm just not keen on the "Ultimate" stuff, I like consistency not alternative dimensions and timelines. Because of this there are bits here and there that bothered me more than they really should.

A harmless effort for fans of Marvel anime but don't expect much.

The Good:

Improvement on the first

Great antagonist

Direct sequel

The Bad:

Some characters look weird

Panther powers, really?

I really liked it. However I think when you have that many characters it's probably not a good idea to introduce a new one, especially a character like the Black Panther. He's cool, he's just not that well known. I wonder if they introduced him because there might be a Black Panther movie coming up? Anyway, my main gripe with the movie is the Hulk. He's the reason why I and a lot of others watch the movies in the first place, and then after the first one they just sideline him? What kind of logic is that? The Hulk is money in the bank (green). Way way way underused/abused. Bring him back. I think the creators (who have done a great job) should look at Bruce Timm et al.'s Justice League series to handle that amount of characters and still please everyone. I think JL was done in such a way (that is, after the first season's somewhat rocky start)that the episodes played to each of the characters strengths. I don't think this has happened in the Ultimate Avengers 2. The first one was much closer to accomplishing that. Also, after the first one and waiting for the second I was disappointed with the plot, same villains, same set up. I was like, "The first movie all over again..." It obviously wasn't exactly like the first but I thought it would have played better if the creators broke from the first one altogether and started a new plot. I was disappointed with the plot in UA2. Over all, it's very good. Animation is great, action is great, voice talent great. It's great to see Captain America back the way he always should have been. I think with these creators we're in very good hands. But bring back the Hulk!!!!

Earth's mightiest heroes are back (already!) for another home video run following the success of the previous Avengers movie. The movie seems to pick up not-too-long after the first, with the heroes separated and doing their own thing. Bruce Banner/the Incredible Hulk is locked up for the tantrum he through in the first movie. Steve Rogers/Captain America is slowly becoming a loner, preferring to work missions alone. The Pyms, Hank and Janet, are experiencing some marital problems, and Thor has completely dropped off the radar. The heroes are reunited when the Chitauri return, led by Herr Kleiser, who was thought to have been killed by Captain America near the end of World War II. This time the Chitauri have their eyes set on the isolated African nation of Wakanda, ruled by T'Challa/the Black Panther.

This is the second movie in Marvel's animated line, and they have managed to make minor improvements over the previous. Unfortunately, they haven't made any attempts to improve on the animation style at all. So, the closer you see a character, the more hiccups and stiffness you see in the animation. Of course, the action scenes still look awesome, and we get some great battles out of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Seeing as how the Hulk is restrained for the majority of the movie, we don't get the same raw power out of him that was exhibited in Avengers I.

The Black Panther was an excellent addition to the movie and made for an entertaining enough story. I have been interested in the Black Panther storyline since I first started reading up on him so it was nice to see him included in the latest Avengers installment. While the first movie's story was thin, this time around we are treated to more history and slightly more character development. My only major complaint with the story in Avengers II was the Chitauri...I think it's time to move on. There are plenty of villains/angry alien races out there. The only thought to cross my mind when I saw the Chitauri in this movie was: "Again?". I'm hoping that they try something fresh next time.

And, of course, its nice to see that Marvel didn't sugarcoat this movie down to a PG or G rating in an effort to appeal to the grade school crowd. They included enough action (even included a little brutality) to earn the movie a PG-13. All in all, this movie is better than the first, but not by leaps and bounds. Although, if the pattern continues, I think we can expect some real gems out of Marvel's animated line-up in the future.

In an age of silly anime and dumbed down cartoons, this Ultimate Avengers franchise is more then a breath of fresh air. Films like Ultimate Avengers 2 (and that's just what it is ... a full blown feature film)take the classic Marvel grandeur and add a modern twist. The action is intense and the story flows so very well. Classic Marvel characters like Iron Man, Captain America and the Black Panther (the worlds first African-American superhero) really shine in this format. My only real disappointment lies in the fact that the Hulk wasn't really used and that the Thor depicted is nothing but a watered down version of the classic Thor. Still, the other characters and the riveting story more then make up for any shortcomings. The alien threat from the first film is handled and resolved brilliantly while doing so without it being necessary for the viewer to have seen the first movie. That's a hard thing to pull off but, like the rest of the movie, they did it so very well.

Great animated movie that's well worth anyone's time and effort.

for my money,this animated movie is as good as the first Ultimate Avengers movie.the storyline is almost the same,but there is an interesting sub plot which works well and ties into the main storyline with ease.this is is just as action packed,but more intense and may not be appropriate for under 13's.this movie also has some funny moments,which i didn't notice too much in the first one.like the first one,this is a short feature,at just under 75 minutes,but again, there is a lot packed into the running time.as i mentioned earlier,this movie is as good as the original.if you liked the first Ultimate Avengers movie,you should like Ultimate Avengers 2: 7/10

I only started to review it now, well, the DVD came to Singapore and I watched it. Not bad for an animation, with cool animation to blow you off but it is the story plot that is not wonderfully good as it is straight forward with a twist in the end (a death of a superhero). It is more violent and bloodier than the first movie. As I say, the second movie will always be better than the first one. Ultimate avengers 2 starts off with the death of the black panther and the son takes over him. Now he goes to find Captain America and asks him to join forces with him to defeat the whatever monsters coming to destroy the world. Super story but short. Its' actions will blast you off with its' cool music but what can we do if the plot is just straight forward. I am not saying I hate the movie but they can extend it, not making the two movies like a mini-movie series. Oh well, I don't know whether they are making Ultimate avengers 3 but if they do, it better be the best of all the Ultimate avengers movies.

Well, the special features are nothing much but it does have some cool sneak previews. If you want to watch it, you will have no choice but to buy the DVD.

The animation is superb! This movie is a sequel to the first Ultimate Avengers movie and maybe even a better one! They paid more attention to developing characters,but it could have been much more.Because that is what makes these superheroes special! There were nice little surprises in this movie and I don't know if this is based on actual story lines in the marvel comics. It is nice to see a mature approach of things,just like in the comics. For me "UM2" is an example of what can be achieved if they take the myths created by Marvel Comics seriously!. I can't get enough of this! Bring it on,make more of these kind of movies! Although Bruce Banner also starred in this movie,the Hulk didn't appear very long. Too bad,because it is always nice to see Hulk smash things. Next time more Hulk, or even an animated movie of Hulk!

'Ultimate Avengers II (2006)' doesn't stick as close to its source-material as its predecessor, instead introducing Black Panther and having much of the action take place in and around Wakanda. Its changes aren't necessarily detrimental, however, and it feels like a unique sequel to the first film. It still keeps the spirit of the comic-book intact, providing the great characterisations you'd expect from an adaptation of it. It makes a couple of risky decisions, only one of which is seemingly slightly - and only slightly - neutered to fit its 'kid-friendly' status. The flick ends up being just as enjoyable as the first, even if it is slightly sillier and isn't quite as well-rounded overall. The pacing is much better this time, though, and there's never a dull moment. The plentiful - and sometimes surprisingly brutal - action is often compounded by tangible stakes, which makes for an experience you constantly care about. It really is remarkable how character-focused the flick is, even during its brasher bits. The set-pieces can seem a little segmented at times, however. The animation is bloom-heavy and sometimes stiff, but it is more than serviceable and allows for the quieter moments to work as well as the loud ones. In the end, the movie is a breeze to watch and a blast while you do. 7/10

A sequel that has its merit, can be entertaining and worth giving it a chance. Like its predecessor, the film has three directors, and I can say that it is a little better than the previous one, but it all depends on the viewer and his fanaticism for the avengers.

"Ultimate Avengers 2" brings nothing more than the addition of Black Panther and its Wakanda environment. The film has its great moments of action, intrigue, subtramas, and one that another character development. The chitauris are once again presented to us as villains, yes, again the same ones of the previous tape. From my perspective it remains important to the plot, maybe another of so many villains that has the group would be more entertaining, yet, there are several interesting tricks.

It again has a very decent animation for the time, with large shades of colors that blow through scenes, in addition, it has a small improvement in the drawing. The partnership between Lionsgate and Marvel still delivered everything for these Ultimate stories.

In the section of the characters once again Captain America stands out, being the superhero with the best personal growth, although he retreats, always comes back to his argumental momentum. On the other hand, T'Challa's aggregate is spectacular, surprising at every moment and his relationship with the captain is admirable.

In its downsides we have the isolation of Hulk (Bruce Banner) being a big waste for the plot of the film, after being one of the best in its predecessor, here it was left aside. Characters like Ironman, Black Widow and Thor once again fail to exploit their great potential.

However, Hank Pym and The Wasp have great scenes of reflection about love, selfishness, lack of communication, confidence, promises, and personal growth.

A sequel with portential, but failed in its final execution. Having a memorable scene among the Avengers.

The new Black Panther seeks out Captain America to avenge his father's death by an evil alien, so General Fury assembles the Avengers to come along. This was my first sighting of Thor's power of precognition and of teleportation. What happened to the extras of ULTIMATE AVENGERS I? Pop-up trivia is one thing, but no subtitles at all? Also, the Black Panther's village has an uneasy juxtaposition of low-tech and high-tech; ah the wonders of vibranium.

Still, the interaction between Captain America and Giant Man is fun, as is that between Cap and Black Widow. It has a nice scene of Tony Stark among his various Iron Man armors, including War Machine. I give it a lower score because it feels more like an advertisement for the Marvel Alliance video game, for Iron Man, and for Doctor Strange than a self-contained movie.

Ultimate Avengers 2 picks right up where the first movie left off. Again, It's simply a brilliant rendition of Marvel's (and Earth's) Mightiest Heroes. What surprised me is the fact that this second film establishes the characters better and has substantial character development. I know that sounds strange when describing a cartoon but these characters really shine this time around.

Like with the first film, I've read different reactions and I've heard from both sides of the adaptation debate. Some serious Ultimates fans wanted this movie to be an exact reenactment of the comic book. Marvel instead made a conscious decision to infuse the old school Avengers in to the Ultimates mix. It's still a good call and a masterful decision. The combination works very well. Gone are the overblown and, quite frankly, juvenile elements of the Ultimates. Having a horny Hulk or an outrageously abusive Henry Pym may work to capture the teenage comic crowd (which is exactly why the Ultimate Universe was created) but it doesn't play with main stream audiences. The ONLY reason the Ultimates succeeded as a book is because of the incredible artwork of Bryan Hitch (which is on ample display in the Ultimates bonus featurette). The characters that made the Ultimates possible in the first place shines through. Captain America is still perfect. You can really see why Marvel is lining up to give him his own live action movie. The introduction of the Black Panther is perfect as well. Iron Man steals the show and his shift to War Machine armor will have long time fans grinning from ear to ear. My only two problems were with the treatment of Henry Pym and the lack of substantial Hulk action (Hulk does smash but not near enough) but those are just minor quibbles. Overall, this is a wonderful movie.

PS- I can't wait for the Iron Man solo movie they previewed on the DVD. The jury is still out on Dr. Strange, however.

That is not to say at all that I disliked the first Ultimate Avengers or anything. Actually I did enjoy it, even if I didn't love it. Ultimate Avengers 2 is not quite perfect either, the Hulk is underused and Giant Man's death for me was a little forced. On the other hand, the animation is great, the character designs are much less jerky and more focused here and the colours and backgrounds are detailed and coloured beautifully. The score is full of drive and again has a haunting undercurrent, the writing is sharp and the action is grittier and is exciting. The characters apart from Hulk are interesting, Black Panther is a great addition and Thor is much better written than he was in the first one. The pace is much more even, the first half-hour doesn't feel all that dragged out and the ending is not as rushed. There is much more story here as a result, and it is compelling stuff indeed. The voice acting is solid across as the board with nobody coming across as a thorn in the side. All in all, a very good film and better than the first in my view. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Being a fan of the marvel superhero cartoons of the 1960's, I enjoyed seeing Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man together in this 73 minute gem.

I enjoyed the violence and action.

If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic animated superhero flicks, Hulk Vs. 2009, Batman: Under the Red Hood 2010, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths 2010, The Transformers: The Movie 1986, G.I. Joe: The Movie 1987, Batman: The Killing Joke 2016, Batman: Assault on Arkham 2014, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay 2018 and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies 2009.

If only Sam Liu would direct a 2 hour R rated blood soaked epic flick featuring all animated superheroes in battle against each other to the death.

Yes! Black Panther! I liked the first Ultimate Avengers more, but this was an enjoyable movie!
