Review of Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow (2008) by Alex H — 23 Mar 2010

It...wasn't as good as I had hoped for, but it was better than I had been lead to believe. The animation was fantastic and the overall premise was what originally sold me. But it seems like some of the character's personalities aren't really established or explained. Thor's daughter, Torren, is the most interesting character since she struggles with an issue of faith, as well as having a harder time fitting in (being Norse and all) and just the sturggles of being an adolecent girl.

But the movie was too full of one liners to really develop most of the characters beyond a dimension or two. This, coupled by the fact the plot seems to zip along (without a lot of explanation) really hinders the experience older audiences could have. And Pym annoyed the crap out of me. That didn't help either.

But the movie is still fun all in all. And I look at is as a great way to excite younger children into the Marvel universe. It isn't the strongest Marvel Animated offering available...but it's still a good one.
