Movie Reviews of Superman - The Last Son of Krypton
Movie Review: Not the 1978 movie, but still pretty good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I still prefer the 1978 Christopher Reeve Superman movie to this, but for a pilot episode for an animated series, I found this one to be quite enjoyable. And there were a couple of things I liked better about this version like the introduction of Brainiac. Plus you also get more insight into Krypton's society than in any of the other Supermans, and you also get a little more on-screen time with Superman's birth parents. Those things are what really makes this animated version so good.
Superman's home planet Krypton is dying, and their lead scientist, Jor-El (Superman's father), is attempting to warn the planet's leaders of the threat, but no one will listen to him because Brainiac, Krypton's all-knowing computer, says there is nothing to worry about. Jor-El, knowing that Brainiac is lying, tries to find out why Brainiac would say such a thing. Hacking into Brainiac's systems, Jor-El discovers that Brainiac is downloading himself into a satellite in order to save himself. Brainiac orders the police to arrest Jor-El. Evading capture, Jor-El returns home and sends his only child and infant son into a small spaceship and launches it towards Earth just as Krypton explodes.
Arriving on Earth, Jor-El's son is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent. They decide to name the boy Clark. As Clark Kent grows he realizes he has amazing powers that he decides to use to protect mankind. Moving to Metropolis, Clark gets a job at the Daily Planet newspaper and meets the beautiful female reporter Lois Lane. Superman makes his presence known and must stop a group of terrorists who have stolen LexCorp's new high-tech battle suit. Superman suspects that LexCorp's CEO, Lex Luther, may know more about the theft than he's saying. Now it's up to Superman to save the day.
The episode ends with a group of aliens in deep space picking up the Brainiac's satellite. Brainiac kills the alien crew, takes over their ship, and sets a course for Earth.
In all, I say this film was pretty entertaining, and considering that its just over an hour long, they managed to fit in quite a bit of material. Highly recommended!
