Watch Iron Man & Captain America: Heroes United For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Heroes 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.

Okay, stop me if you've heard this...Have you ever watched a movie or a sequel (seeing how this acts like one) and felt it was just doing the same thing the first was doing?Certainly felt that right there.The plot is a bit different from the Hulk one but unfortunately all the same problems you hated about the Iron Man & Hulk film are still here...And they turned up the badness volume to 8000.Of course you know what that means...The childish dialogue no sane hero would ever say is still here... except it's somehow even more childish and cringy to listen to. Well done writers.The humour that wasn't funny in the Hulk film is still here... And if this doesn't ring a bell, I don't know what will but it still isn't funny.The rather monotone voice work is still here.... except it's more monotone than ever before and when you even have Clancy Brown in your cast, that is not a good thing.The painfully bad and lifeless animation is still here.... except it looks more lifeless with everyone moving more jerkily than ever before and some really REALLY bad fight choreography. You'll swear it looks like they're trying a spot of ballerina dancing instead.Basically, I could have just copied and pasted everything I said about the Hulk film and the whole review would be almost identical. Because that's what this miserable piece of crap is, identical. Identical in how poor the animation is, identical that no one in the cast seems to be giving it his or her all and identical in that you shouldn't even be thinking about plunking your money on something like this."Groundbreaking CG Animation!" I've seen more ground-breaking animation on an old Atari 2600 game, and that is truly saying something.

Now 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

I 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.
