Overall 3.0

Iron Man: Rise of Technovore doesn't work particularly well on any level. The story and script don't compliment the action; the former is overcooked and the latter nothing special. The animation would have to work hard to appear any more bland. The voice acting ranges from good to acceptable, with the former covering only the lead characters. There's not much here, and while it's something of an apples-to-oranges comparison beyond the name given the differences in budget and style, this Iron Man absolutely pales next to the vastly superior live action films. Sony's Blu-ray release of Iron Man: Rise of Technovore features bland video that's more a fault of the source material than the transfer. Also included is a good lossless soundtrack and a couple of extras. Those still curious after the review should rent before committing to a purchase.
