O2D The anime scenes were so boring. 57 minutes in I remembered that it was supposed to be about a satellite. One thing that the other reviewers seems to have missed is that Black Widow swore. That was the most exciting thing about this movie.
DCfan 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.
suite92 This is an anime version of an Ironman story, late teen/adult style.Tony Stark is about to launch a surveillance satellite. Someone does not like this. They set about to blow up Tony's properties near the launch, and draw him into a one on one fight. Further, they kill his long-time friend and ally, Rhodes, and many people near the launch.Fury sends Black Widow to fetch Ironman. They have a chat, then Fury tells him he is in custody. Ironman decides to leave. Fury sends a lot of people after him. Ironman evades most of them, but Black Widow gives him a harder time before he disables her plane.The bad guys in this film are a small group who think of technology as a set of false idols, and particularly blame those who create more technology. So Ironman is high on their list, and his satellite is a prime target.Tony meets with Pepper to get intelligence. SHIELD surrounds the place, but Tony escapes. He finds a lead in Pakistan, and meets up with Punisher. They zero on Ezekial Stane. SHIELD catches up, and Hawkeye screws Tony's suit with his arrows. Punisher helps him get away, with Black Widow and Hawkeye in pursuit.Ironman follows Stane's efforts to China. He discovers more about the powerful weapons that Stane has, namely the technovores, which invade high tech gadgets and take them over.Does Ironman find the ultimate goals of the enemy behind all this? If so, will he stop that goal from being accomplished? Will Tony make nice with SHIELD and Pepper? -----Scores-----Art/Animation: 8/10 Good by anime standards, but occasionally had the washed out look.Sound: 7/10 The lip synching was not the best. The music's sound level was way off. Most of the time the voice actors' words were clear enough.Voice/Acting: 7/10 I liked the performances of Norman Reedus, Matthew Mercer, Kate Higgins, and Clare Grant. The work of Eric Bauza and John Eric Bentley I did not care for so much.Story: 8/10 Rather nice. Had transitions beginning to middle to end that were reasonable to follow. Has some pleasant surprises toward the end.
Zach Weandesh 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.
