not very good at all.

Dreadful character design, bad voice acting, and a plot that overstays its brief welcome. Big props should be given though to Warner for allowing the action scenes to be so violent and brutal. It's too bad the filmmakers wasted the opportunity on THIS.

It's no Superman: The Animated Series.

worth experiencing

Not great. I didn't like the voices, animation or story.

I was really surprised when this movie turned out not to suck. Instead of bogging itself down in serious-ified drama or plots that make sense, the film instead elected to be ridiculous in entertaining ways. Lex Luthor is over-dramatically villainous and Superman is so heroic that he works on curing cancer in his spare time. (They're both voiced in a so-bad-it's-hilarious fashion.) It's also surprisingly brutal which I think more films ought to be. This one is worth giving a go.

I'm torn. There are very good points to this direct to video release and there are very bad points. Good: it's a better, less convoluted, retelling of the Doomsday saga plus it's got Kevin Smith in a cameo. It's also geared to a more adult audience (adult themes and language). Bad: The animation is on par with the TV show and there are some plot holes.

Adequate, but man, they could have drawn this one better. A LOT better.

Surprisingly brutal, but really poor animation dooms this as a feature.

While the second half isn't so great, the first forty minutes or so are a great new (and impressively dark) look at the Superman character. Unfortunately, too much of the plot is given over to fight scenes that just feel like overkill, and aren't nearly as interesting as the psychological aspects of the story.

Just awful.

Superbland.
