Other Animated DVDs: Doctor Strange, Avengers, Iron Man

Here is the list of good animated super hero movies I promised (these are also not your ordinary Saturday morning fare either):

Doctor Strange - Normally I don't care much for magic because it goes against hard science and anything can happen, but the magic in this story follows definite rules. It is actually just the vehicle used to tell a good human interest story.

Ultimate Avengers 2 - Ultimate Avengers is also good, and you need to see it to get the story on all the main characters, but II is better. Iron Man is actually better in these Avenger movies than he is in his own (see next). The Hulk/Bruce Banner story carries through both movies. The Hulk really Hulks-out: he does some of his famous comic book tricks, ones that can only be done in CGI or animation. It's worth getting both movies just for that.

The Invincible Iron Man - Regardless of what I said in the entry above, this is a movie worth seeing to learn the origin of Iron Man. It should be interesting to compare it to the live action movie coming out next year.
