Ultimate Avengers 2

Ultimate Avengers 2 Rise of the Panther
2006
Lionsgate DVD

Released about 6 months after the first film,this DTV animated film was the second of the now long running Marvel DTV animated films.

We have the same team as in the first film. But early on in the film we get introduced to Black Panther. Who is the King of the African country of Wakanda. After the aliens from the first film attack and do massive damage to his country Black Panther has no choice but to go ask the Ultimate Avengers for help.

What I liked about this film was that the animation is much better than the first film. Plus the story ,at least to my knowledge,isn't adapted from the Ultimates comic. So when I watched it I had no idea what was gonna happen next. Another thing I enjoyed was Black Panther. I have always been a fan of this hero. I like how how he is not only a superhero but the king of a country.

The DVD  sadly this time doesn't have that many extras. We get a featurette about the Ultimates comic. A gag reel. The same DVD-ROM game that was on the first DVD. And very short looks at the Iron Man and Dr Strange DTV animated films.

I get the feeling that this DVD didn't sell that well. The reason I think this is cause it has now been 6 years and we haven't gotten a sequel. Where as after the first one we got a sequel the same year. Hopefully with the mega success the Avengers film is having ,we might get another Ultimate Avengers DTV film. Ultimate Avengers 2 Rise of the Panther gets a C+.
