Watch Iron Man: Rise of Technovore For Free

You won't be disappointed!

An Exercise In Nonsense

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie was very good to watch if you had a very bad day.At first, glance back in 2015 when I looked at pictures of this movie because it was anime I was put off. I was never a fan of anime at this time.But when I actually got round to seeing this movie I actually enjoyed it.The voice acting was good especially Iron Man, War Machine, Pepper, Hawkeye, Punisher, and JARVIS. All though some of the voices didn't sound right or were off.The designs were good and so was the Japanese animation.There was one moment which never made sense like what happened to the main villain at the end and who exactly was Sasha Hammer (the girl reading the book) his wife, girlfriend, sister or cousin and I wonder why The Punisher had very little screen time?It is surprisingly better than The Invincible Iron Man.

The animation is not bad. This is all I can give this movie. Otherwise is this animated feature probably one of the worst superhero adaptations I have seen in the last few years. The plot feels like it has no idea where it is going and doesn't make any sense. The main characters just jump from one part of the movie to the next, with what ever reason they pulled out of their noses in the scene before. The entire story feels like somebody glued one fourth of the "Avengers" movie to another forth of "Akira", set it on fire and passed it in on the last minute. The premise on which the movie started was so bad and ludicrous, that I was actively rooting for the bad guys.  Even worse: If you would play a drinking game, while watching this movie and down each time a shot, when you see either something pretentious or you notice a overused (anime- )trope, you wouldn't last till the end of the movie. 1) White backdrop and pseudo-philosophical jabbering. Take a shot. 2) Tedious, overly long and pointless dialogues – take a shot - in the face of certain death instead of acting right away. Take a second shot.3) An insanely powerful, yet mentally unstable teenager – take a shot - who wants to rid the world of humanity, thus making it better - take another shot – but has no real reason to do so apart from a massive apex-predator-complex. Take the third one. 4) The teenagers power spirals out of control and turns him into a monster. Shout "Tetsuooooo!" and take a shot. 5) Hero sacrifices himself – take a shot – in way that looks nearly like religious symbolism – shot – and survives. Shot. 6) A solution to the final 'problem', that comes out of nowhere and was pulled directly out of the movies rear. Shot. 7) A technology so badly explained, that it strains the suspension of disbelief in a movie, where you expect people in super-powered suits trashing giant robots. Shot.   8) No explanation for important plot points happening. Shot....also take a shot each time you think: "I don't think computers work that way."Conclusion: Avoid.

Where to begin? Whole story revolves around super-science bio-nano machines that can reconstitute themselves into any shape and are practically indestructible in this case armour.The story is so drawn out that the seconds became minutes and the minutes hours. This instalment should have be regulated to a 20 minute episode. A best way to describe the torture of watching Technovore is to compare it to a late 60s to 70s Sci-Fi from Russia.Then you got the dialogue which is god awful crap. It is so pretentious and boring. Half it sounds like those horrible anime dubs. While we are at it the voice acting also boarders on the same quality of those anime dubs. James C. Mathis III was the only one did a good job.To sum it up it is the most unrealistic, illogical, boring, pretentious crap. Madhouse has yet to repeat their success for making an animated movie for the English market since Vampire Hunter D and their only good release after that was the Highlander direct to video movie.Not even worth renting unless you are a die hard Iron Man or Madhouse fan.

The Animation is probably the strongest part of this installment of this Iron Man production. The Voice Acting could use some work on the supporting cast though. The story begins as we are placed dead centre in the middle of another technological marvel as Stark is trying to change the world. However bad guys don't take a Vacation. Stark has to fix things before its too late. And that's my problem with this movie. The only sense of urgency seems to come from Stark and its not very convincing because the Antagonist is way too enigmatic. Even when the pseudo-philosophical mechanized angst driven plot unravels you don't really care, assuming you understand what everyone's motives actually are. The Antagonist is dreary, his monologuing is distracting and his intentions in-genuine. However, cameo appearances from a few heroes in Marvel universe make up for this. Overall its a shaky 7/10. It could have been 30 mins shorter and just as sweet.
