Next Avengers Heroes of Tomorrow: A hugely pleasant surprise
When I go into these Marvel animated outings I expect play by numbers stuff, whether it be a dark or kiddie friendly one they rarely surpise but manage to entertain to some degree.With this one I went in with even lower expectations than usual. The children of the Avengers? Sounded like a blatant cashgrab and the plot seemed to confirm that further.
However from the opening sequence, it's writing and perfect score I realised I was mistaken and this was going to be something quite special.
Telling the story of a world where Ultron defeated the Avengers and killed most of them, Tony Stark has hidden away their offspring keeping them safe and off the grid. But of course things go wrong and they find themselves forced to embrace their destiny.
The whole thing looks beautiful and almost feels like a AAA movie, the score is outstanding and the movie is a kid friendly riot of fun.
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow exceeded all my expectations and showed that these things can rise above mediocrity. Really good stuff.
The Good:
Great opening
Very well constructed
Excellent score
Some good ideas
The Bad:
Some really dumb ideas
Few unanswered questions
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Fred Tatasciore is more Hulk than Mark Ruffalo, seriously he's in every one of these things
score 8/10
