It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Being a Marvel fan one thing that always frustrates me is the lack of demographic consistency. The animation can range from 15's down to U's and this one is certainly the latter.In this adventure aimed directly at the tiddly winks the Avengers must team up with Rocket & Groot to stop Loki from gaining the power of Santa Claus.Yep, that wasn't a typo. Santa is now part of the Marvel Universe I suppose and essentially has his own Christmas realm full of candy canes & gingerbread men.As you can imagine the whole thing is very low-key (Pun intended) and childish. The animation is all very colourful, the action scenes are cutesy and the humour is aimed at the young.The whole Santa Claus thing made it difficult to take any of it seriously, that and the addition of Reptil who Marvel just can't seem to stick with an ethnicity of. He was originally hispanic but I've seen both caucasian and african american incarnations.Great for your kids, not so good for adults.The Good: Well madeThe Bad:Humour is infantileReptil's ethnicity has changed repeatedlySanta, really?Things I Learnt From This Movie:Ironman has a Stargate
View MoreAs a fan of both Avengers Assemble and Guardians of the galaxy, I have to say this isn't the best Marvel film I have seen or the worst for that matter.Most of the bad reviews are just coming from hardcore nerds. This is really a kids movie, to be honest than an adult or a teen movie. If kids like it then that is all that matters.I do have a few complaints about the film, however. Like why were some of the voice actors changed like Captain America, JARVIS and Iron Man? Captain America and JARVIS were good for voice but Iron Man was not because the voice actor was too high pitch and annoying. They should have just let Matthew Mercer voice Iron Man and Captain America instead or just contact Adrain Pasder. Or even Troy Baker who was Loki in the movie would have been a better choice for Iron Man. What never made sense was why Star-Lord, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Gamora, Drax and Falcon were not in the movie or even mentioned even once. Apparently, Santa exists in this universe. What really annoyed me was that Reptile from TSHSS was in this movie and had his original voice actor back same with Captain Marvel even though the voice did improve and it wasn't annoying.
View MoreOne night I noticed this was on Netflix and I thought it would be like Avengers Assemble but boy was I wrong. After reading the plot I was a already a little skeptical about watching this but they usually have at least one thing that the teen and adult fans can enjoy but this had nothing. Captain Marvel was the only thing that was remotely good about this but her character felt so underdeveloped. I really wish it had Hawkeye and Black Widow but I guess two female main characters was too much for them to handle. Also, why was Tony acting like such an a**?! I have to admit the voice was much more similar to RDJ than Adrian Pasdar's but with the voice came a whole new personality that they tried way to hard to be like the MCU. And once again Hulk is portrayed as the idiot. I know they do this in Avengers Assemble to but I'm really getting tired of the writers using Hulk whenever they need some stupid comic relief. While I'm on the topic of characters, where were Starlord, Drax, and Gamora? The way I see it is if you're going to feature the guardians of the galaxy at least have all of them. Also, WTF was up with that candyland place! I swear to god they just sucked all the seriousness of the Marvel Universe away in one hour and a half long special. But by far the worst part was that stupid kid. All he did was be an annoying little sh*t that got in everybody's way and I was ready to go X-Men Origins on his a** and sew his f*cking mouth shut by about the tenth time he said that everybody needed to believe. Speaking of believe the forced moral was yet another terrible thing about this complete sh*t storm of stupid. So they can shove their anything is possible if you believe bullsh*t right back up whoever's a** they took it from. My recommendation is if you genuinely want to watch this do it alone because you will find yourself yelling at the TV and telling the characters to die and burn in hell
View MoreThis swings far far away from Avengers Assemble to the point of Marvel Super Hero Squad. There's a lot of kid humor and it's too child friendly. 'Frost Fight' offers nothing to an older audience. Teen fans will hate it, adult fans will immediately notice how cheaply this was made, and anyone under the age of 10 will have a lot of fun with it.It presents the Carol Danver's version of Captain Marvel which I was hopeful about, but I found myself missing Hawkeye & Black Widow. Her look is kind of dated and is out-of-place with the other artwork. Basically a completely different art-style.There's a trainee kid who goes by 'Reptil' that I found incredibly annoying. His power is having pterodactyl wings. It's a throw-away character that you might expect to be killed off (for sake of showing death) without erasing a major character.Steve Rodgers/Captain America and Tony Stark/Iron Man have different voice actors. It sounds close, but it's a little weird. I personally have a pet-peeve about Marvel changing voice actors just for the films.Santa Claus & Mrs. Claus make their way into the story and it's the Kiss Meets Santa joke from Family Guy. Yeah - Somebody threw out a movie really fast and whoever did it should be fired. Grossly incompetent choices were made about this release.
