Good concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreHeroes United should have been a tv series. If they had cut out all the pointless blather and friendly sparring, this would have been a solid half hour adventure. I'm not sure what they were going for with these movies but in classic Marvel style, they failed.
... View MoreNow Marvel has been making successful films on the big screen with The Avengers, Captain America and Iron-Man.So you think they would make a great movie with Captain America and Iron-Man joining forces.Well I'm afraid I've got some bad news this does not even give you anything redeeming about this direct to video animated movie. If Animated is what you call it.Iron Man & Captain America: Heroes United has too many problems to even considering making it watchable.I don't know where to begin but what I can tell you is that it is not worth owning in your collection.The plot for the film is clearly design to be a cash in on the success of the two Avengers. Even with Red Skull as the main antagonist with Taskmaster at his side don't help the film at all.The Animation and graphics in the film are simple awful it's hard to even call it computer animated when it feels like some kind of anime with boring artwork. I have seen video games with better designs than this one.Also the voice acting is very boring it feels like the actors are being forced to give a performance and that puts into no effort what so ever so.Perhaps the best thing about this film is that is not apart of the Marvel story line so passing on it will not limit your enjoyment of the other films from Marvel.Iron Man & Captain America is a failed attempt to team up these two Marvel Legends.If you want to see them work together watch The Avengers or the Avengers TV series.I give Iron Man & Captain America: Heroes United an 3 out of 10
... View MoreI have a theory. Marvel is SO successful on the silver screen, that they've decided to throw whatever is leftover on DVD, not really giving two craps if it's any good or not. While DC pours all their love into their DVD's, Marvel just give us mediocre nonsense like Iron Man.... I'm not writing that long ass title again.So what's wrong with it? Short answer. EVERYTHING. Like Black Widow & Punisher Heroes United (damn! wtf is with these titles?!) IMCAHU also has horrible animation (see example below), boring voice casting and a story NOBODY cares about (Red Skull is the bad guy, Hail Hydra, you get the idea).My biggest issue with this movie was the animation. Not even good enough to be on Saturday morning cartoons. IMHO, this kind of animation weakens a story, because it's stiff and affects the pacing badly. Action seems stilted and slowed compared to what's suppose to be going on.There's not much else to say other than if you miss this, you aren't missing much. Only watch if you're some kinda die hard Marvel fan. Otherwise, stick to DC for the straight to DVD movies based on comics. Trust me, they might be stumbling on their big screen adaptations but they are consistently hitting home-runs on our flat screens.
... View MoreIn general, this movie started out great, and had highly predictable parts. Most of the details in this movie were taken from every MARVEL Avengers movie/series there is, i.e, MARVEL Agents of Shield, The Avengers, The Iron Man (1,2,3) and Captain America (1,2). What you see in this movie is a small continuation between Captain America and Red Skull which ends with Red Skull obviously losing.Taking that into mind, the animation was good, the characters, somewhat resembling their real-life stars especially Iron Man (Robert Downer Jr.)Most of the scenes were predictable and were expected. A partially expected ending with S.H.I.E.L.D capturing/arresting the Red Skull. Overall, Enjoyable, had the usual humor with Iron Man, and also added humor to both Hulk and Captain America, and last, Kid Friendly!The End!
