The Death of Superman_720p(480P)

source: The Death of Superman

After a few tried and failed attempts at the New52 movies. The Death of Superman makes up for all of them, there are some good ones like Justice League War and Justice League Dark but this movie was the best one of them all. This movie is about how Superman is handling his life as Clark Kent and Superman while keeping Lois and his team safe. He is also thinking about wheather on telling Lois the truth. As a whole the movie was great. I even like how Jerry O Conell and his wife voiced the two main characters. If want an example of a good DC movie I would recommend this. I can't wait for part 2.

I never liked Superman. He's too good, too flawless, too super. Thanks to that his greatest enemy, his greatest foe is... a green rock. Yeah, introduced by a radio show, kryptonite, is about the only thing that can take Superman down. Now "Death of Superman" is an amazing story in my eyes. It faces a moral, good, ordered Superman against chaotic, evil, uncaring killing machine known as Doomsday. It's one of my favourite superhero stories to date. Death of Superman, Funeral for a friend, Reign of Supermen are about as close as we'll ever get to an amazing story about Superman. Of course, the story was criticised as a publicity stunt. In a way it was, but it also gave us an amazing story. The movie differs a lot from the original. It has some good changes and some bad changes. and people will bring it up anyway, so I might as well join in. Let's start with the changes for the better. Back when the original story was written the heroes were much different, much more powerful than they appear to be now. Thanks to that DC decided that most powerful heroes won't show up for this event. There was no Batman, Wonder Woman or Martian Manhunter there. On one side it created more tension because the heroes used were considerably more squishy, on the other hand, I always wondered how more A-list heroes would fare against Doomsday and this movie gives us all that. We see the Flash, Batman, Green Lantern and the rest defeated. In my mind it's a powerful message, seeing them go down, on the other hand... Booster Gold and Blue Beetle in the original story were so good. What movie gets right, however, is streamlining the story around Lex Luthor and Bibbo, a much-needed change without going way too far into Superman's lore from decades ago. The fights look amazing and to a certain extent, you can feel each punch. Great animation. What the movie lacks is emotion. Especially between Lois and Clark. You see, in the comics by the time Doomsday appears they're together. In the movie, however... they're not. It was a dumb idea to make most of your movies in a connected universe mostly based on a failed New 52. Thanks to that the story has to work double time to establish a breakup of Wonder Woman and Superman, establish a relationship between Clark and Lois, introduce the Kents and the rest of the supportive characters while still maintaining a coherent plot that beckons to previous movies. The funeral, that was an amazing thing in the comics filled with heroes and characters from a rich universe, seemed modest and lacking - I mean this is an animation, you can do however many people you want and all we get is this pitiful bunch? The costumes, especially Wonder Woman and Superman's, are terrible. The animated Wonder Woman requires a complete redesign at this point, while Superman needs BRIGHTER colours - he's a symbol of hope, not the dark knight. The movie setups Reign of Supermen by skimming over every superman to superman at the time of Reign of Supermen... except Eradicator, unless the cristal super-nanny AI thingy at the start of the movie is supposed to be the Eradicator. Overall, it's not a bad movie. It's not a great one either. Totally serviceable. The sad part comes when you realise that the animated, "kids" version is more adult than the dark, live-action movies they make these days. Actually, it's not sad, it's great. An animation is closer to comics anyway, they should keep this up.

There will be spoilers ahead. Don't complain afterwards. OK, so it gets off to a slow start but by God does it get going when it gets going. And it's relentless. If you've read the comic then it's different enough to be "NEW" yet it's new enough not be something you will have seen before. There are real emotional scenes in this, it's not just a bit of violence and that's it. You learn enough of the cast going along to be fully invested, Wonder Woman is Wonder Woman, Batman is Batman, the Flash is the Flash, Cyborg is Cyborg etc and the other members you just get. There is a fair amount of violence and blood too, but not too much that it's gratuitous but enough to make it realistic, the fight scenes are just the other side of what you would expect, but not so far that they are not believable in comparison to say the live action movies, super speed, strength etc all match up. And you have that genuine sense that Doomsday is going to win, nothing is stopping him. But you don't need to have an origins story for him, just awe that he's actually killing folks and no one can stop him. As you can probably tell, I really REALLY liked this, it's an excellent addition to the franchise.

Great film that focuses highly on Lois and Clark's relationship and nailed everything about it. Following all the other movies in this continuity is also a great thing because even though this is highly Superman's movie the additions and importance of the rest of the League is definitely one of the highlights as well, again Jason O'mara as Batman is great. Rainn Wilson as Lex is a version of Lex that's hard to get used too but all around pretty solid. As for the sequel Rain of the Supermen, i'm pretty hyped. The end credits scenes for Superboy, Steel, Eradicator ( I THINK HAHAH), and Cyborg Superman and the setup for them during the film was awesome, I just think the one at the end where the fortress of solitude appeared is Eradicator because he is confirmed but the only one who didn't get set up during the movie and the only one during the end credits who wasn't shown exactly. All around great film for a DC nerd like myself. Excited for part two.

In 2007 we got an animated film covering the full Doomsday/return of superman saga. For some reason, I guess DC wanted to do it again. The good- the film looks very good; the animation is great, the drawings are detailed, and the characters have their authentic look from the comics. The fight scenes are also quite good, and make the battles epic without going into Man of Steel level carnage. The presentation of Doomsday is also top-notch, he's never felt more dangerous or unstoppable. The "graphic" violence adds a degree of danger, but I wouldn't oversell it- anyone over the age of 11 has probably seen worse on network television. Also, lots of nice little touches to the world, like people trying to take selfies with Superman, give this film a little more character. The middle- the voice acting left me cold. Nothing is too bad (although Rain Wilson is kind of hammy as Lex Luthor, which I didn't like). Superman and the rest certainly have conviction, but the dialogue doesn't really stand out. The script is also a bit simplistic- generally kind of blah and predictable. The bad- the pacing is inconsistent. The film takes *forever* to get to "the good stuff," and the time before that is not exactly captivating. They're trying to build suspense and world-build and everything, but we already know what Doomsday is and what he's going to do! The subplot about Clark and Lois also didn't do much for me- the overall point of it was fine, but the pacing just dragged it out too much. In this regard, the 2007 film wins out. That film was much more "cartoony," but it had quick pacing and covered twice as much material in less time. So basically, we have a more "adult" version of the Doomsday story (but not the entire story). What the film adds in production values and fighting choreography, it lacks in pacing and originality. Although the 2007 film was less popular, I'd much rather watch the 2007 one again, as it was more entertaining, had better pacing, and tells the entire story in less time than this film.
