SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY
Description
The many intolerable showdown in Superman history! When Lexcorp incidentally unearths the intergalactic sequence torpedo Doomsday, Superman battles the quadruped head on in the quarrel of his life…literally. The universe collectively mourns their depressed hero; amiability realizes it will never feel indeed protected again. Superman’s enemies glory all but Lex Luthor, who grieves the loss in his own wandering manner, environment off a chilling sequence of events which even he couldn’t have foreseen. Inspired by the bestselling striking novel of all time, DC Comics’ The Death of Superman, this feature-length charcterised journey boasts sparkling movement sequences which rivals anything you’ve ever seen starring the Man of Steel.

I read that story and it wa sthe biggest marketing trash DC Comics ever did, I can not belive they are making this into an animated feature, looking at the terrible voice talent they have lined up, It has all the hype of a company that also owns the over-rated AOL software.

Por favor señores de DC Comics y Warner, tengan decencia, con lo mala que fue la edicion de un disco, ahora quieren sacar la de dos????.
A las personas que van a comprar este DVD les recomiendo que primero lean el comic. Si esta pelicula hubiera sido la mitad de lo buena que fue la secuencia del comic hubiera sido un best seller, pero se quedo totalmente lejos de la calidad de la historieta, siendo esta uno de los mas vendidos de todos los tiempos. Espero de verdad que esto ayude a la gente a respetar el espiritu de los comics y principalmente de los mas vendidos, como ha sido la saga de “La Muerte de Superman”… mejor compren el comic, sera mas economico… y en verdad lo disfrutaran.

When I was young, I bought superhero comics all the time. Superman and the others always thought their ways out of conflicts, but now superheroes punch their ways out of problems. This is lazy and uncreative story telling. This DVD is no different. Ingenuity and compassion have been replaced with violence and cruelty. There is no story–just one long fight scene after another.
(I thought that Timm’s Superman the Animated Series had the ugliest Superman–this Superman is even uglier.)

I recently saw this at Comic Con San Diego special preview. If you have not seen the plot outlines of this adaptation, you’re in for a shock. First off, it’s PG-13… so that means people die, not in a grotesque manner, but certainly more graphic then past DCAU ventures. Also another huge point is the recasting of EVERYONE who was ever involved in the Superman TAS. The casting choices, cept for Adam Baldwin as Superman, I felt was not on par with the original cast of the Animated Series.
The Rest of this may contain spoilers… do not read further if you want a surprise, but just know that I thought the movie could have been much better.
SPOILERS!!!!
The story itself? 3 huge comics shortened to one movie with a running time of less then 2 hours? They skimped out on a lot, most notably Doomsday getting less then 20 min of screen time. I find this horrific, considering I loved the Death of Superman. Not only does Doomsday get gypped, but also the fact that it is only Superman fighting him, no other members of the Justice League get involved, or mentioned, which made me feel the sense of urgency for Superman to get involved feel not nearly as urgent. I also hated that the Doomsday costume like in the comic, wasn’t used, I always liked that he was revealed slowly, giving you horrifying glimpses of his true nature. Then of course, a world without superman and the return of superman are equally short, giving you no loss of time with superman’s departure or his return, with the many superman wannabes. IN all, I thought this could have been A GREAT two part movie, which would’ve made me leap for joy, instead one 75 min piece o’ crud that made me run out of the screening without even looking at the man I once thought great, Bruce Timm. Sold out to promote a movie they took from a great story, and trashed it to give me this. If they’re trying to compete with the Marvel direct to video movies, I say go for it, they’re not that good. But if they’re trying to sink to the Marvel level? that’s just bad. It’s not as bad as Brainiac Attacks, but I was hoping for much better

I caught the premiere at the San Diego Comic-con, and if your an avid of the Superman mythology than it might upset you when someone comes along and messes up the storyline. I’ll admit the animation was very good but the artwork was too cartoony and the character voices were at most unbearable. As for the story line the entire arc Reign of the Supermen was cut out of the movie. There was no Steel, no Superman Cyborg, no Superboy. If DC is going to try and keep up with Marvel on their Direct to DVD releases then they definitely need to amp up their material. If its a budget issue than just don’t make the movie, I would rather the movie never be made than be made as badly as it was.
