Iron Man Armored Adventures Season 2, Volume 2

Although the series is definitely designed for kids, any fan of any facet of the Iron Man legend – form the original comics to the blockbuster movies – will enjoy watching the adventures of Tony Stark as a 16-year-old inventor and heir to the billion-dollar corporation Stark International. The stories walk a din balance between honoring the established Iron Man traditions and adding to the legendary superhero the young boy will grow up to be. In the six episodes on this disc you get to see everything from Iron Man going up against the villainous Doctor to his first meeting with the Black Widow and Hawkeye. The voice acting, lead by Adrian Petriw as Tony Stark, is generally excellent. The one caveat viewers may have about the series is the computer generated animation style, which is cold and impersonal in its rendering of the human characters in the movie. It makes the fights and technology used in the shows look great, but the people look like over-animated dolls. It takes a while to get used to … or simply ignore.
