Les vengeurs 2

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.

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?

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.

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!
