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.

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. <br />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. <br />SPOILERS!!!! <br /> <br /> <br />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 Rating: 2 / 5 I recently saw this at Comic Con San Diego special preview.

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. <br /> <br />(I thought that Timm's Superman the Animated Series had the ugliest Superman--this Superman is even uglier.)

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.
