Movie Reviews of Superman: Doomsday [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Expected More
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge Superman fan. (Ask all of my friends and then take a look at what I get at Christmas time)
For me this movie was a huge let down as much as it was hyped.
The animation is on par with the regular tv series.
Having collected the orginal story line all of those years ago this film didn't stick close to it at all.
Which was a huge let down considering how indepth it was.
And Yes, I know you couldn't fit that long story line into one movie.
I just expected more from a Superman/Doomsday thread.
I wanted to see more of the impact Superman's death had on the world and other characters.
While entertaining it was still a letdown
Movie Review: Not what I was expecting but still good adaptation
Summary: 3 Stars
As a comic book reader and a fan of the original Death of Superman books, I was blown away when I heard this was coming out, however even though
the story of this animated feature is far different from the original comics it was still enjoyable, full of action and heart to match any of the great Superman stories.
Bruce Timm and the DC team have done a great job with this animated movie and I look forward to many more.
Movie Review: Good
Summary: 3 Stars
Picture quality was awesome and storyline plausible. Didn't really like Anne Heche as the voice of Louis Lane though.Movie Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I know this is not a comic book, so I won't review it based on a comic book reader's perspective. Based solely as a "movie" even for an animated one, its simply terrible. It seemed like the director/ writers couldn't make up ther collective minds to make a kid's film, or for young-adults, and the end result was a bad attempt at both, while accomplishing to satisfy none.
For example, there were sexual innuendos in the dialogue that just wasn't appropriate for children. However, the overall story is just way too simple to satisfy a more mature audience (the fight scene between Superman and Doomsday took up basically two thirds of the movie). For what is supposed to be "The Death Of Superman," one never quite feels the tension. Worse, how Superman comes back from the "dead" was not very creative at all. The explanation was just way too convenient.
I find it hard to describe this as a "movie." First, it looked nothing different from the regular animated series on tv, except the awkward need to add cheeckbones to the characters' faces. The same lazy animation of boxy faces and figures are still there. Secondly, it just doesn't feel like a movie. It felt more like an extended regular episode.
Overall, Superman: Doomsday is a monumental waste of time. It's simply nothing more than a movie studio's excuse to sell something... anything.
Movie Review: 1 Stars
Horrible adaptation. I hadn't read the comic since I was a child, and went into this not remembering much, and I STILL hated it. Rights issues aside, why weren't there any other superheroes at Superman's funeral? Why did the producers think it would be a better selling point to dump all the original voice actors and get "stars"? Why did they use cliche and throw in Lex Luthor as a villain? After I suffered this this tripe I read the first 3 issues of "Death of Superman" and I was even more sickened. All the pathos, depth and meaning just in the first issue was complete void in this animated garbage (Superman on a talk show defending his fighting for good to a hippy teenager while Doomsday was beating the Justice League to a pulp, Doomsday crushing a bird in his hand, etc etc)Shame SHAME on Bruce Timm and all others involved.
