Movie Review: Superman-Doomsday........
Summary: 5 Stars
I know you'll probably hate me for being brutally honest here but I'm not that much of a Superman fan. I probably was when I was a kid but, these days, I just can't seem to get into him. Even his animated series failed to excite me and these days I'm heavily into animation. That is, until I saw Superman-Doomsday. This direct-to-DVD animated feature, brought to you by Warner Premiere, focuses on the DC Comics storyline of "The Death of Superman" and how everyone around him deals with his death. Done much like Justice League:The New Frontier, this feature is more adult-oriented and serious in terms of story and content. Directed by Bruce Timm, Lauren Montgomery, & Brandon Vietti; it features the vocal talents of: Adam Baldwin, Anne Heche, James Marsters, John DiMaggio, Tom Kenny, Swoosie Kurtz, Cree Summer, Ray Wise, Kevin Smith, and Adam Wylie.
I must say, I'm really impressed with the film. It's wayyyyy better than I was expecting it to be.
If you're a big Superman fan or just love cartoons, you can't miss this film.
Movie Review: Not The comics, but a Great Grown up adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are an adult that has always enjoyed comics, or are buying for a teenager then this is a great buy. It is not the same as the comic books. But the interviews with the director show the differences, this happens in a world were there are no other superhero's other than Superman. It is a stand alone movie, and it is dark which is why I recommend it for adults.
I have 2 little boys (3 & 4) and I won't let them watch, this because there is a lot of death.
Then again I personally enjoy the direct to dvd Cartoon Movies that have been released, Ultimate Avengers, Young Avengers, JLA: The final Frontier, and Superman Doomsday.
If you are a fan of comics and cartoons, and understand that not every story needs to fit into "continuity" then this is great.
However if this is for a young person, or someone new to comics it may come off as confusing.
For the old hats at this it's a must watch if not a must own. For all those young fans and new comers you may want to pass on it
Movie Review: Very Well Done!
Summary: 5 Stars
The voice acting came along well with this, making it the best direct-to-video movie I have ever seen. I never read the comic book, but I did read the Novelization of it by Roger Stern, which is pretty much the whole comic saga but without the pictures. Having read it, there were some things I had wished to see. 1st of all, All 4 fake Supermen: Eradicator, Steel, Suberboy, & Cyborg. We argued though that the Eradicator was in this film, he was the evil clone. I told them it wasn't because when you put on the subtitles it says 'Dark Superman'. Another thing that would be kinda fun to see is Supergirl & Lex Luthor married, which did happen. Plus, would it have hurt them if they made it 90 mins. instead of 75, it left me wanting more (another reason you should buy this). The DVD comes with a cool documentary on the making of ths epic time in comic history, a trailer for cartoon Justice League movie, & a DVD game which is although pretty easy, is still decent enough to play several times. Overall, buy it!!! =)XD YES!!!!(S)Movie Review: The Most Brutal Superhero Cartoon I Have Ever Seen. I Loved It!
Summary: 5 Stars
From the first moment that Doomsday killed all the miners in such a graphic way, I was hooked. Humans were tossed around like dolls, punched through buildings and cement (yuck), necks snapped like twigs, and all this was shown and not left to our imagination.
The battle between Superman and Doomsday was action packed, brutal (can't stop using that word), bloody and ultimately very satisfying. This isn't your average kids cartoon aimed at 5-9 year olds. This is a clear mature cartoon for adults and I say it's about time.
The drawings were okay, not great. Superman was drawn to look older, more wrinkles on his face. While Lois and Luther looks like they just got out of college. Doomsday looked bad @SS.
Lois dating Superman for 6 months and still not knowing that he and Clark are one in the same was a weak story plot point, but I got past it.
I recommend this cartoon for all fans. Get ready for a fun ride with amazing fight scenes.
Movie Review: Superman Doomsday
Summary: 5 Stars
The long awaited cartoon version of the famous comic book storyline finally becomes a reality. Overall the film is excellent with some great fight scenes and nice little twists and turns along the way. Although far from perfect with some flaws throughout, the creators in my opinion have done an excellent job in recreating years of comic book storylines into a single film. Some fans will complain that it's not true to the original and certain important bits have been left out but realistically it would be impossible to have recreated everything exactly due to the time frame and the different mediums of film and comics. Whats noticible in my opinion is that this is a film made for fans and not changed and dilluted like the very disapointing Superman returns of 2006 ( In this film Superman actually fights!!). I highly recommend this film to fans and non-fans alike. There's something here for everybody but the great action scenes will appeal to many I think.
8 out of 10
