AVENGERS - ULTIMATE V. 2(2006)
This begins with a semi-origin of Black Panther!
The fun part of this one is that now Captain
America is now being an asshole!!! Isn't that
special!?!? Course, the rest of the assholes are
still assholes!! However, this still is a pretty
great movie, with a very interesting premise
to it! The bad aliens are back and determined
to capture a meteorite for purposes unknown!
This one has a couple of well known people in it:
Mark Hammil .. Star Wars(Luke Skywalker)!!
Dwight Schultz ... Star Trek: TNG(playing
Reggie Barclay), A-Team(Howling Mad
Murdock), also in Final Fantasy X & X-2,
and XIII & XIII-2! A-

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
