The Worst Film Ever

Admirable film.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The best ever Superman animated movie ever created. Unlike the grumpy character portrayal of the Dawn of Justice, or a goofy one, this one actually lives up-to expectations. The portrayal and character development of both of the antagonist and protagonist, and the justification of their actions beyond some cheesy quotes and flimsy sentimentality, are, in a single phrase, artful mastery. Adapted from the 12 volume comic series of Morrison and packed in a 76 minute video adaptation, it does feel a bit paced at times, but every frame is worth it. The music, the voice over acting, the graphics and Coloring, they are all great if not awesome. Thanks to the DC universe, a great way of depicting a character as large as Superman. He is both cosmic and the Smallville farm boy. He is soft and also strong. The notorious Alexander Joseph Luthor is not some raving lunatic who cries because Sups foiled his plans, he has justification for it, and the viewer would want to connect to him. Every character is well written, and if you're a crybaby then, pack some tissues as well. The movie is GOOD. It's so perfect, that you would feel like keeping it safe, without letting anything to put a dent in the memory of the watch. The experience is so satisfying, I cannot fathom how could DC universe build the lousy excuse of a big budget movie as Dawn of Justice, having had the most iconic story-line in their possession. This farce eludes me, and probably will do so in future as well.

I have to say this is the best Superman portrayal I've ever seen and a very emotional one too. Really. I was left speechless at the end. This is how Superman is and should be. Towards the end, I was getting emotional. Just for that alone, I'm giving it a 5 out of 5. Now, some may complain that there were too many characters, but THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE! Were there beings like this in the world, that's probably how things would go. Also a really great portrayal of Superman as Clark Kent, and fun to see how he switches between the two in some scenes. The animation is well, done, though at times, I felt like the detail was a bit off, and if we were really to hit it home, the animation might've had more of an impact, but that's not taking away anything from the movie for me. Voices were also really well done, especially Superman's, because it makes him seem a lot more like a hero with the gentle, calm voice, and Luthor a vain intelligent evil man (as well as other characters who the read should find out for himself). The dialogue is EXCELLENTLY done! Very smart dialogue. Very characteristic of the character saying the dialogue. Absolutely great. The interaction between Superman and Lex Luthor when they did happen were also really well done and intriguing. Part of the emotional impact this movie had was the real feeling of heroism you felt from Superman - like I said, how Superman should be. And of course, the ending, which had so many things to it that were emotional, from pretty much every single character in the movie (like seriously! even one of the robots!) So yeah, definite 5/5 from me and the best Superman movie I've ever seen so far.

I can see why some viewers that read the comic book this movie is based could be disappointed. I never read that actual comic book this movie is based on, but I could tell it's missing quite a bit from the comic book. Some parts felt like it was missing and seemed rushed at times. So the plot is about Superman is in a state where he is slowly dying and what he does during his last days on Earth as Superman. By trying to cram a lot of things into a short animated movie form, makes this one appear all over the place at times. And I could even say, a bit inconsistent. The animation is solid though and the movement to the design, was something I really liked seeing in this movie. I especially liked how Superman disguises himself as Clark Kent in this and how he does his best to disguise himself as this weak and clumsy reporter that people look down on. Because it gives you more into the depth of Superman's heart and what he represents. Which actually made me respect this fictitious hero even more. This movie had the potential to be great, but falls short because of the poor development and missing bits.6.7/10

The only change I would make would be to add about 30 minutes to the movie to expand on some things. I agree with an earlier review about the musical score completely. It was one of the best I have ever heard.This movie was pretty short, sweet, and to the point. The plot does move quickly, but makes sense while having some side stories. The side plot line about the Kryptonians is great, though kind of random. It's a great add-in to the movie.Yes, the media and people love seeing superman die, but that's because he's the man of steel and supposedly unkillable.All in all, great movie and would recommend it not only to ALL Superman fans, but any comic book fans in general!
