In a world where superhero team-ups on the big screen are a dime a dozen, the novelty of original animated movies that brings together comics’ heavy hitters has worn off a bit. At the very least, we expect a higher quality, be it in the form of storytelling, animation, or just pure fun. Unfortunately, Iron Man and Hulk: Heroes United doesn’t accomplish any of those things, despite being billed as an “Avengers spin-off.”
As a movie, Heroes United might satisfy a kid while they eat an after-school snack or two, but it’s hard to imagine a mind beyond a five year old staying engaged for the 71 minutes that this movie asks of you. Iron Man and Hulk have some fun banter back and forth while they semi-reluctantly team-up to take out an energy monster named Zzzax. That banter is about the extent of the entertainment. The action sequences are rendered with such bland animation and are underlined with such a generic musical score that it’s hard to muster any semblance of excitement.
