Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, 2013.

Directed by Hiroshi Hamazaki.

Featuring the voice talents of Matthew Mercer, Norman Reedus, Eric Bauza, Kate Higgins, James Mathis III, Clare Grant, Kari Wahlgren, Jb Blanc, Troy Baker, John Eric Bentley and Tara Platt.

Synopsis:

Iron Man is framed by a technological terrorist, and sets out to stop him and clear his name.

As Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark prepares to launch Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the theatrical release of Iron Man 3, Marvel is looking to capitalise on the heightened awareness of the Armored Avenger with the straight-to-video anime tie-in Iron Man: Rise of Technovore. Unfortunately they won't be selling any more cinema tickets off the back of this, being that it's one of the weakest animated features to come out of Marvel since, well... ever.

Co-produced by Madhouse, the Japanese animation studio behind the likes of Ninja Scroll »

Iron Man: Rise of Technovore opens with a bang: Iron Man and his buddy War Machine protecting a revolutionary new satellite from some mysterious armored menace. The two heroes zip through the sky, blowing things up with aplomb, and sniping at each other with childish tough-guy dialogue. It’s not high art, but it works... until it doesn’t. Nothing that follows captures that dopey energy of a good Saturday morning cartoon, making the rest of the movie a chore to sit through. This animated film (from Madhouse, most famous for its seminal anime classic Ninja Scroll) seems to fit right in with Marvel Studios continuity, pitting Stark against Ezekiel Stane, the son of Obadiah Stane, the villain in the first Iron Man film. The younger Stane is using a techno-organic...

Some people debate that casting an underwear model (who also played Aquaman in Smallville) isn’t going to make fanboys any happier about the Michael Bay‘s remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but I say, hey, as long as they’re cute and with sixpacks, bring ‘em on! I mean… it’s high time for some chick-eye-candy flicks – not only rom-coms, wouldn’t you say? Even if they end up being CGI-ed to reminisce turtles (that did not sound weird right now, not at all). So far, casting has already brought Megan Fox in as April O’Neil, which was met by a lot of “nerd rage” (but I...

Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 movie “Ghost in the Shell” was one of the earliest Japanese anime I had ever seen, and I was struck by how good and mature it was. That film convinced me to try out other anime titles that were on the market and to keep an eye out for new ones. It led to some pretty nice discoveries, let me tell you, including flicks like “Akira”, “Ninja Scroll”, and the like. The “Ghost in the Shell” franchise has spawn plenty of spin-off films over the years, and 2013 will see another iteration, “Ghost in the Shell: Arise”. The film will essentially be a 4-part mini-series (each part running around 50 minutes), with the first one (titled “Ghost Pain”) set to arrive in Japanese theaters in June with a Blu-ray release the following month. “Ghost in the Shell: Arise” is a prequel to 1995′s “Ghost in the Shell »
