Ultimate Avengers 2
Mysterious Wakanda lies in the darkest heart of Africa, unknown to most of the world. An isolated land hidden behind closed borders, fiercely protected by its young king: Black Panther. But when brutal alien invaders attack, the threat leaves Black Panther with no option but to go against the sacred decrees of his people and ask for help from outsiders.

The Worst Film Ever
Must See Movie...
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I saw Ultimate Avengers two years ago on the same weekend as the second one. I just found both of the movies massively insulting to the Marvel Universe. The First and second movies were just plain tedious because apparently in this universe when the war was over, Bucky doesn't become the Winter Soldier but instead, he retires and steels Steve Rogers, wife/girlfriend. Oh but it doesn't stop there Hank Pym is more or less like Scott Lang in this universe because he is a massive jerk to the Avengers and his main priority is his wife and only his wife for example in the first mission when the Avengers were in trouble and he heard Janet scream. But in the end, Ant-Man makes a good sacrifice. He was about to break the building down and not worried about the other Avengers. In the second movie, he was the same except that this time when his wife was hurt he threaten to throw Captain America out if he didn't leave. The Hulk was just a mindless brute like in the MCU and the reason why Betty divorced Bruce was because of the Hulk. Speaking of I didn't really find Betty a nice woman in these films because of that. Thor, Iron Man, Wasp (Apart from the fact she looked too much like Hope Pym and had darker skin colour), Black Panther and Black Widow were just themselves. Speaking of Black Panther in the second movie we get introduced to him, I found this one just too bloody and brutal when a General stabbed his dad and when the General got stabbed a couple of times but wasn't even dying. I also found it just plain stupid that Iron Man was wearing the War Machine Armor. If you are an Avengers fan I would recommend you don't waste your money on these movies. You might be disappointed. My overall score 4/10 for both movies.
This follow up to the first Ultimate Avengers movie benefits from not having to incorporate origin / set up material. It leaps head first into its story, albeit the story follows on from the end of the first movie.This time the key plot factor is that the Chitauri aliens from the first movie are after the vibranium deposit in Wakanda, which means we are introduced to T'Challa, as well as Captain America's old foe Kleiser, who turns out to be a Chitauri.There is as much soapy stuff about the characters' problems and interactions as there is action relating to the main plot and, to be frank, I could have done without that - I like my superheroes to be heroes. But I appreciate it for what it is.The animation is no better than Saturday morning TV animation.But it's not bad.
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.
I REALLY liked the first Ultimate Avengers movie. It had a superb animation style, it showed a team-up between some of my favorite Marvel Comics (who if you ask me is a little better than DC comics) characters (Thor was under-appreciated) and it had an interesting story (although it was a bit similar to the way the JL members met).After seeing that movie Ultimate Avengers 2 was the movie I mostly anticipated. I knew that it was going to introduce the Black Panther and that the Shatauri (sorry if I misspelled it) would return. Having seen the Fantastic Four series I knew that Rakanda had lots of vibranium and so I anticipated a bit of the plot.Anyway, after I saw the second movie, DC comics became my favorite comic book publisher. Why, well, in one word, because the movie disappointed me.Don't READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.The movie was too short, I don't like how they put emphasis on Captain America - Blakc Widow or Wasp-Giant Man relationship (I don't want a soap opera), the Hulk and Thor were SOOO under-used and, by far the worst aspect of the movie, the death of Giant Man made me throw the movie out the window after I had seen it. I don;t like it when heroes die, because I don't watch super hero movies so that evil may triumph over a good, IN ANY WAY. If Giant man does not come back somehow in Ultimate Avengers 3, a big boo for Marvel.Don;t get me wrong, the movie is not bad, but it focuses more on issues from real life like love, courage, etc. than on making a cool and developed plot. Anyway, hopefully the sequel will make it better.If you are a Marvel fan or if you liked the first movie, watch it. Otherwise, no way Jose.
