Ultimate Avengers – The Movie: Based on Millar/Hitch’s excellent The Ultimates, this competently executed animated film falls far short of the source material. Minus the realistic art approach and with a definite softened edge, Ultimate Avengers is a pale imitation of the original comic classic. It’s not terrible, mind you. It’s actually probably officially “ok,” but it’s just so removed from the brilliance that is The Ultimates it feels like a failure.
