captain america's kid has a holographic/digital shield, that way we'll know its the future.
Saw a trailer earlier, this will be horrible.
Can't be as bad as the rest of the Marvel animated movies...right?
oh and i love how the cover completely ruins the "mystery of the missing Hulk"....i guess they find him afterall.
Speaking of trailers, has anyone seen the teaser for the new Punisher film? I thought the first one was really bland and forgettable, but at least it had some fun moments. The teaser for warzone however looks like the Punisher mixed with the recent Hitman movie. Quite frankly, it looks cartoonish and horrendous.
Wow, I didn't think the marvel animated films could get more
off track than the previous 4 releases, boy I was waaayyyy wrong
This looks like a horrible mis-step. Teen superheros are rarely good (the early spider-man stories being the lone exception). When I think of the astounding back-log of classic marvel stories, I just can't understand their decisions with their animated line (at least DC had the good sense to choose "new frontier", not too sure about the batman anime crossover though...). I checked out the previous entries (some better than others but never a bullseye) but this just looks completely bad. As much as I enjoy some anime, the style does not and should not work for everything (I'm referring mainly to the cheesy character designs on the cover). Bummer.

I actually enjoyed the Iron Man and Ultimate Avengers 1 & 2 animated movies (they are more enjoyable if you watch second time and their goal was for a movie structure and not purely kiddie/action cartoon). Dr Strange was a major disappointment.
Next Avengers sounds terrible (the trailer was truly dire) and Marvel/Lionsgate should simply of made "Ultimate Avengers 3" instead.

I've enjoyed the Marvel animated movies so far (they couldn't be worse than Dc's Doomsday!) and I'm quite open-minded about that new one. After seeing the trailer, it doesn't look that bad.
Yep, I have to agree with Bruno that some of DC's animated movies i.e. Batman: Subzero, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, Superman: Brainiac Attacks and Superman: Doomsday were big disappointment.
The best DC animated movie so far is Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (which has excellent pacing, great sense of humour and a decent story).
