I liked the movie only a llittle, and thats because i love superman
They should never have said it was based on the graphic novel..i felt ripped off at first and had to force myself to just think of it as another superman with his death as a story, and to hype it as such is a crime
The art was ok for the most part...and horrible for superman, the lines on his face were a distraction i could not ignore
Voice work was good, lex took some getting used to but it was ok
Overall i was dissapointed,but i guess i will take anything now that the JLU cartoon is done

I don't recall, but wasn't Pa Kent already dead in the comics.. he came to Kal El in the afterlife if I remember right.
Pa Kent was alive...but during the reign arch he suffered a heart attack and met supes in the realm of the afterlife....Pa might have flatlined for a bit, but was back after a while
I think i am right but, memory is not what is once was lol, i hope i am at least close

Actually, I'm thinking that you are right. I haven't read the arch since it originally came out... and right after that I was collectiong all of Knightfall series and had to drop the superman books (I have always been a collector of Bats but couldn't pass up the DOS.. had all the comics leading into Doomsday, DOS and Funeral for a Friend, but then it got real expensive).
movie was ok. i expected a lot more action with the doomsday fight. the way they both died was meh. i was expecting help from a few JLA members. i was expecting it to be like in the comics where when doomsday get punched, rocks would pop out his skin. luthor looked anorexic. this movie could've been done better, but it's good for what it is... a PG13 movie...
Well I finally saw Superman: Doomsday last night and i gotta say what happened to Doomsday? The movie seemed mostly about stopping Supes clone..
Anyway, the fights were spectacular but seemed a bit exaggerated but cool none the less.
The story was not as engaging as the action/fights and the way Lois found out Supes was C. Kent seemed to casual and fake.
Had excellent visuals. Except i didn't like Supes checks there. He looked wierd with those lines on his face. I give it a C+. This was Superman's fist animation movie. It should've been much more profound and organized than it was.
It was a good movie, almost great but a few weaknesses kept it one notch down I thought. I like the direction they went with the clone. Original, and probably a better way to go animated. Lois, who is always underused in Superman stories in recent memory, had a lot of great moments.
Maybe DC could put out more animated movies of their best comic stories. The Killing Joke, Emerald Twilight or some kind of GL story, The Dark Knight returns, Superman Red Son...I hope New Frontier is a success for this to continue.
i bought it recently.. just because i'm a big superman fan i thought it was good, but it could have been better. i think the movie should have deff. been longer.. it felt like, doomsday appeared, seconds later they are fighting, and then another second later they both die**. they should have developed doomsday better. throw some more twists into the story.. it was kind of predictable for those who don't know the story already. the bad ass clone was pretty cool. thats how he should be all the time.. killing the bad guys. haha. j/k
bought this and have watched it twice so far... to be honest i thought they did a really good job... i doubt they'd have had enough time to do the reign of the supermen story properly, it would have meant adding on a lot of time (probably double to get it all in), so i can understand their reluctance...
the fight with doomsday was excellent, really well done, and showed how both men had different styles of fighting...
voices were ok, though lois in the first scene or two seemed a little off, though she got better...
wasnt sure about the clone thing, if they'd used bizarro maybe i'd have liked it more, but it certainly wasnt that bad by any means...
the preview for new frontier looks good imo, and the cast... holy crap...
