"Past and present collide in this epic adventure that reveals the origin of Iron Man. While raising the ruins of a long buried Chinese kingdom, billionaire inventor Tony Stark digs up far more than he bargained for. He unleashes an age-old prophecy that foretells the resurrection of the Mandarin, the emperor of China's darkest and most violent dynasty. In order to confront the destructive force, Tony creates an armored suit infused with high-tech weaponry. To stop the evil that he himself has raised from the earth, Tony must become his greatest invention ever - Iron Man! The newly born champion must travel to the four corners of the earth to battle the Mandarin's henchmen, the Elementals (four magical warriors who harness the power of the elements - earth, water, wind, and fire) with deadly chemistry. But is the Iron Knight, as he his known in the prophecy, strong enough to defy fate and turn back the malevolent forces hell-bent on earth's destruction?"

The 23rd can't come soon enough I've been waiting for this film ever since I saw the trailer on the Ultimate Avengers 2 DVD.
I liked both Ua and UA2. I enjoy that someone is still doing handdrawn animation, Looking forward to Iron Man, he has always interested me.
As far as not holding kids attention? I don't think these are aimed at Kids, the are aimed at teens and adults who read comic books.

I'm looking forward to this, I quite enjoyed the first two Ultimate Avengers films.
Ok...I didn't think UA was bad taste. I loved both. Yes, they were like watching a television cartoon, but, what do you expect when they were straight to dvd to beging with. On that note, they were pretty good. I can't wait to see this.

Nice to see that he's starting off young, with some good taste.

I hope you weren't counting Mask of the Phantasm and Return of the Joker in that statement, Bruno, from what I saw it didn't hold a candle. Braniac attacks on the other hand, was pretty lame.
Ultimates Avengers 1 and 2 are really very good cartoons, on par with the JLA series . If you need a comparison, they're far better than the Teen Titans series or a few of the Batman and Superman animated movies.
Looking forward to seeing Iron Man. The previews looked really good... more in a anime style.

Since this has turned into a UA discussion - I bought Ultimate Avengers for my son and I thought it was nothing more than a very long, very mediocre cartoon episode. It didn't even hold my son's attention for long and I ended up watching the rest of the movie by myself. It has sat untouched on his DVD shelf ever since. However, he has watched Transformers: The Movie about 50 times since it was released on tuesday.
Looks cool, but i've never been into iron man. or the Ultimate Avenger comics.
I'll watch them eventually, but I'm waiting for some of the titles I love to get films.

I admit that I didn't watch the whole thing, but I got the feeling from what I saw of UA that Marvel was trying very hard to lift all the things that make the Bruce Timm universe great, but they never quite got the hang of it. The trailer for UA2 looked too much like a lot of Justice League episodes, including the primier and the season 2 finally. I really should give it a better chance, but I'm kinda done with War of the Worlds.

Well, UA2 is a direct sequel and picks up about where UA1 left-off, but it introduces the Black Panther in the first act. However, the rest of the film is quite good. I concludes the alien invasion story the first one set up. If you liked the premier of the Justice Leage, and War of the Worlds, you'd like UA2.

For those who haven't checked out the Ultimate Avenger animated movies, you should do so. These MARVEL animated movies are really well done. They use classic cell animation, but with CG visual effects. The animation looks a lot like comic book drawings. In fact, they said that you could take a still shot of the Avenger movies and compare it to actual comic book drawings and they'd be very similar.
I'm really looking forward to this Iron Man one, as well as the Dr. Strange one later next year.
Each of these films run about 80 minutes, give or take, so they're equivalent to about four half-hour episodes. I really enjoyed UA2 as it brought out the WarMachine suit for Tony Stark.
