Synopsis

Inspired by the best-selling DC comic The Death of Superman, the animated feature Superman Doomsday finds the Man of Steel locked in mortal combat with an intergalactic serial killer named Doomsday. Never before have two rivals of such equal footing squared off in a duel to the death that could determine the fate of an entire planet. Will Superman summon the strength needed to save Metropolis by making the ultimate sacrifice, or could it be that the denizens of this bustling city are about to witness the demise of the greatest protector they ever had? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Posted by: from grand forks nd on 04/13/2013Superman, Batman, DC Heroes. What more can you say? I love the superheroe movies, and this one was right up there as my favorite. I am glad to own a copy, rather than rent it out. Now I can watch it whenever I want. It is action-packed, and the plot twists were exciting. I cannot say there was any part o it I did not enjoy thoroughly.

Posted by: from mankato, MN on 12/03/2008This movie is best if you're able to mentally seperate it from the animated series, which is someone difficult since the style is the same. They've changed the look of a number of the characters, but the art style should've been different to help seperate the difference.

Posted by: from Eagan, MN on 10/21/2008As big a fan of Superman as I am, I could not give this movie a high rating. Obviously, I was able to find a positive, but overall was very disappointed. If you've read the comic book or even the adaptation by Roger Stern you'll know that this film did NOT follow the storyline very closly at all. The voice talents that were casted were questionable, the script was way off base, and the animation was mediocre at best. The one positive I found in this movie was the fight scene between Doomsday and Superman. It was actually pretty cool. Go read the comic books, or Roger Stern novel.

Posted by: from Naperville, IL on 06/04/2008This movie was pretty good. It does not follow the exact story like from the comics but give you the general idea of the story. In the comic Superman is gone for a while, this movie makes it seem like only days. Still check it out if you are a comic fan.

Very disappointing Superman movie

Posted by: from Boston on 05/02/2008I was so pumped for this movie. I own the entire original comic series, but I also understand that most movies need to stray from the original literature for the sake of time and presentation. I'm also a big fan of Adam Baldwin (voice of Superman), so i was willing to cut this one a lot of slack. The end result was really bad. The script was painful (I know it's a cartoon aimed at kids, but even they would pick this out), but even worse than that was Doomsday was little more than a cameo in the SUPERMAN VS. DOOMSDAY MOVIE! If you thought you were getting a Death of Superman movie, you will be sorely disappointed.

Posted by: from Miami, Fl on 10/08/2007I really enjoyed watching this movie. It's definitely better than the Marvel movies. DC really needed this. This is what they should have done for the Superman Returns movie in my opinion. This is the Death and Return of Superman comics abbreviated and adapted for the screen. I would have like to have seen the 4 Supermen that appeared after his death but they went with a different direction that worked somewhat. Definitely some great battle sequences here. It's good to see the original animated series team back working on this. Although, I really didn't like how they drew Superman's face. The voice talent is great. I takes some getting used to for Lois Lane but it works at the end. Definitely pick this up if you're a fan of the animated series.

Posted by: from Tallahassee, FL on 09/29/2007I bought this product because I am a Superman fan. I also bought the last Superman TV series which used to show on the WB network. Before buying this product I read the reviews of others and would have to agree with those who said that the voice casting should have been the same people who were cast in the WB animated series. This inconsistent casting was the thing that most detracted from my enjoyment of the story. I wasn't too impressed with way Superman was drawn in this DVD, but that was a minor annoyance. I also agree with those who said that the Doomsday villain was not fleshed out enough. I think if the producers had stuck with the story that was in the graphic novel, the DVD would have been better. Since the producers went all out to include a special feature on the original "Death of Superman" story that appeared in the comics, it seems logical to translate all of that onto the DVD story. In fairness, though, this version did have some interesting plot twists that allowed it hold my attention. I just wasn't left with a "gee whiz" feeling when the end credits ran. DC, if you're listening, ... you missed a golden opportunity! You could have done the graphic novel story as a mini-series of DVDS released over a period of months. I would have gladly bought 'em all! Also DC .... (if you're listening) Don't You think it's way past due for a series on the Green Lantern Corps?
