Good start, but then it gets ruined

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A lot of people want to see this as a great Marvel series from the ranks of the original X- men animated series, hoping its true to the comics and a serious take on the stories they've loved. Being a huge Marvel comics fan, even I was not thick enough to just pass this off as them making a quick buck. I've always seen this series (and I believe this to be the intention) as a show that small children will enjoy, while holding a distorted mirror up to the Marvel universe and having a laugh at itself. It's almost like if the Marvel universe was like every Deadpool comic, self parodying and winking to all the fans. For example, this is well displayed through Thors absurd Shakespeare speak, taking the mickey from his speech in the comics, or Cap's over Americanness. Haters will hate, but I just frigging love!

My 3 yr old daughter has recently developed an obsession with Iron Man. I'm not really sure how this happened. I have no real problem with it, but being familiar with comics and animation in general, had a lot of trouble deciding how to enjoy this new interest with her; after all, just because it's animated doesn't mean it's child-friendly. She's too young to get into the Iron Man movies or even the animated Invincible Iron Man movie and a lot of the themes would go over her head. She breaks limbs off of the action figures marketed for older kids and adults, and I don't think anyone in their right mind would hand a 3-year-old a comic book unless it was a travesty you wanted to accidentally maliciously destroy. So I was thrilled to find this series- a little silly, a little weird, and it's somewhat painful for a fan of the comic books to see the characters portrayed the way they are, but it's perfectly appropriate for a little person and that's what I was looking for. It reminds me a lot of those old 80's shows I grew up with; Ninja Turtles, Mighty Max, Project G.eeK.eR., Earthworm Jim, etc. It's cute and kinda cheesy and fun, I would recommend it to parents looking for a way to indulge a toddler's superhero obsession or introduce a kid to Marvel heroes without the darker story lines, but I would not recommend it to older fans or anyone who lacks a sense of humour and willing suspension of disbelief.

What a hilarious show and my kids LOVE it! I give it one mark off for having too much "occult" in some of the episodes (thank to Dr. Strange), but other than that...VERY clever, witty and original. Kudos for lack of violence like the new superhero shows. This one is mostly kid friendly...and could be even MORE kid friendly (i.e. minus scary, occult stuff). The new Justice League stuff (including the Green Lantern Movie) and NOT kid friendly, but are full of violence and inappropriate material. I'm so glad the Marvel side made a much better KIDS show.Pretty darn good kid's superhero show (with parental guidance of course)...and Dr. Doom's mother on Facebook...I almost peed my pants! AWESOME!!!

This show is based on a series of 2-inch action figures from Hasbro that came out starting at the beginning of 2006. The line was aimed at kids "3 and up". So yes, the show is aimed at kids. So what? Doesn't mean everything from now on in the realm of animated comic characters will be aimed at this audience.I came across this show cold upon seeing it in Greg Grunberg's CV. Having seen the first episode, I probably won't make an effort to watch any more, but lighten up people. Treat it as the farce it is and don't watch it if you don't like it.It would be one thing if this series was supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the comics - but it isn't.I personally find the leathered up X-Men and Fantastic Four movies harder to take as they don't look anything like the characters I remember - but then I was reading the comics when they first came out.And while I like "The Spectacular Spider-Man" and will miss it if the Disney takeover of Marvel kills it, as seems likely, the liberties it took were sometimes jarring.
