Default 'The Invincible Iron Man' - High-Def Digest Review

Kenneth has reviewed the animated film 'The Invincible Iron Man' and he does not like what he has seen. This Blu-ray has good video and excellent sound, as
well as a couple of extras, but this is no match for the live action 2008 adaptation. Rent this, if you must.

DC / WB seems to make much better comic adapted animated films...i had hopes for this, but it sounds like it falls short just like Marvel's other animated films.

I saw this at Best Buy the other day and almost bought it thinking it would tide me over til the live-action flick. Glad I thought twice and put it away after reading this review.

To be fair WB/DC has been adapting DC characters since Batman: The Animated Series premiered back in 1992. On top of that, many of the staffers who worked on B:TAS (even up to Justice League) were also ex-Hanna-Barbera employess that worked on Superfriends/Super Powers Team.

Marvel, as a centralized animation studio, is just getting their feet wet in the animation game. Give them a few more years and they should get to a level where WB/DC is now.

I hear ya, but its the stories that are just bad usually, and the dialog. Its not the animation thats bad

100% agree, watched the standard last year and it was pretty awful.

Like the posts above I hope they are just fine-tuning these, before the good stuff comes out like, Hulk vs. Wolverine.

really....i liked IIM more than either Ultimate Avenger title, but it still blew. it wasn't until Dr Strange that the Marvel animated movies picked up good.

this one is the ultimate pass. i think the review was spot on, that this will be bought up on a whim when people are buying the live action blu, and as a stop gap for these few weeks.

I actually enjoyed this on SD DVD, my four year old and I had fun watching it. It is what it is. Decent fun in my opinion.

I liked the ultimate avengers films and the Next Avengers was a decent and plesent surprise. I saw this iron man on SD DVD and thought it was not that good I have not seen Dr Strange. I am looking froward to Hulk VS Wolverine and Hulk VS Thor. The Hulk is my favorite marvel character and comic character so I will like those regardless of there quality. I like most things HULK(didnt like ang Lees Hulk though), I am most likely going to pass on this release unless I can find it dirt cheap which would be around the same price as the SD DVD.

The recent Mavel animated films have not been all that great.. Although I did like the Next Avengers...

Really makes me wish they release all the '90s Marvel Animated series on at least DVD, completely and not just single disc movie tie-ins.

I like this movie pretty well. It's not perfect, but it's very Iron Man. Wish the CG was dropped and the animation had more frames though.

I must agree with Ken. I have this film on SD DVD and the picture was problematic indeed. The Invincible Iron Man was a blind buy for me and I don’t think I will re-buy this film no matter how good the AQ was.

Silly, bad quality animation and not even close of being a worthy demo material. I’ll pass.
