Wonderfully animated, with vibrant characters and spectacular action sequences. The first act is loaded with laughs, but the tone becomes more serious as the epic nature of the world-ending threat is revealed.
While the storyline may be very familiar - mixing elements of the first Avengers movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past, some very Lovecraftian alien invaders and a memorable moment from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Best of Both Worlds - Rise of... tells it with huge charm, energy and enthusiasm.
Even the story arc of lead character Leonardo suceeds - despite the viewer knowing exactly where it will lead from the getgo.
It deserves a physical release.*
*By physical release, I mean it should come out on DVD/blu-ray, rather than...you know...something disgusting.
