Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie was pretty good, its has 2 story lines (the death of superman and the return of the man of steel) movie is filled with action and drama, but one thing it lacked was informing viewers the history on Doomsday. it gives about a 5 sec. or less history lesson on him. If you've seen/read the comics there's differences and some scenes could have been added to the movie, The fight scene could have been made longer more drama (common its the death of superman). But, overall its a good movie and a must see for all superman fans

I 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?

Superman, 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.

WHAT CAN I SAY EVEN A CARTOON SUPERMAN MOVIE IS GOOD YOU CANT GO WRONG WHEN YOU HAVE THE NAME SUPERMAN IN IT WELL JUST SAW THE MOVIE AND ITS REAL GOOD ALOT OF FIGHT SCENES REAL GRAPHIC FOR A CARTOON FLICK BUT NOT THAT GRAPHIC BUT IT WAS PG-13 SO PICK THIS UP SIT DOWN WITH THE FAMILY AND SEE HOW SUPERMANS GREATEST BATTLE COMES TO AN END

what can i say even a cartoon superman movie is good you cant go wrong when you have the name superman in it well just saw the movie and its real good alot of fight scenes real graphic for a cartoon flick but not that graphic but it was pg-13 so pick this up sit down with the family and see how supermans greatest battle comes to an end

This stayed close to the comic book but not close enough for me to give it 5 stars. I was disappointed that they did not use the voice actors from the JLU (justice league unlimited) series. I missed the voice of Luthor that I had grown to love. Overall it was a good movie to watch but comic fans might not like the fact that there were no members of the Justice League there to help Superman as there were in the comic.

This movie is the perfect collection for any DC fan, showing the world that true hero is gone forever! i would recommend buying this movie because it is a part of are history & no one should without this great DVD, also the fight with doomsday is awesome & they took alot of clips that look the same as the comic book pages of it!

Must Buy for Superman fans! The animation is state of the art, and reminiscent of the animated series Superman. Loosely based of the book, this film delivers as a Great action action anime, and Man of Steel story! BUY!!! (especially on Blu Ray)

Simply AWESOME! I watched it several times already,and listen to the commentary.. Those that are grumpy about Supes should listen to understand why is version is slightly different from the comic. Action galore and a great story check it out you'd be glad u did ; )

best superman film i have seen in a while great plot line it follows the death of superman plot line really well and the fact they used the art from superman the animated series and the justice league cartoons makes this movie a must see

I purchased the comic this was based off of a long time ago. Though, there are moment it strays...it does the comic justice in bringing this great story to DVD. If you enjoyed the comic, then you will surely love this movie.

I didnt buy this. Someone bought this on my account and used my reward points. Now I will review the comic to make up for that point loss. This is a great comic, you should buy it.

This 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.

This 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.

When the Doomsday story arc began on the comics, many were excited to see how it developed. What made the story arc so interesting was how it began so simply and developed so complexly into a single menace that threatens Superman's very existence and life. So when it came to that battle at Metropolis, Superman made his last stand there to make sure he does whatever it takes to take Doomsday out. . The animated adaption doesn't follow the story arc from the comic book version at all. Only a few key elements from the comic version made it into this movie. While I question as to how Doomsday first appeared and arrived on Earth, some things are needed to simplified. Sadly, historical elements regarding Doomsday itself were left out completely. It's understandable that it needs to be omitted, since the historical part were written afterwards and was written separately from the mainline story arc. Another piece that adapted well was Doomsday's utter brutality upon encountering any life form. There are maybe one or two parts that were over-the-top but still at least within Doomsday's character. . One disappointing factor was how simplistic the story approached the Doomsday vs Superman match-up. It did not take long for Superman to get right into the action of battling Doomsday and even less time for the street fight to end. And how it all ended was just as horrible as how the entire adapted story was written. . The entire movie is composed of two parts. Superman vs Doomsday and the Return of Superman... or Supermen. Neither of which followed any memorable elements from the comic book version. While it's understandable that the Return arc would have complicated and extended the movie more, it would have been a whole lot better as a movie experience had it been done that way. . This movie overall is a poor adaption of the comic version. A lot of key and crucial elements were missing and including a certain character as part of the story made it worse. I say... stay away from this DVD. It's not worth your money. You'll get better entertainment out of reading the comic version, of which there is a trade paperback release out there. Ask your local comic book store about it and buy the copy if available.

Even though it's missing a Huge chunk from the comic, it's still pretty good for any Superman fan. Batman is BETTER.

After being a fan of the Superman cartoons, I really thought this would be an excellent movie. I was wrong. I have seen episodes of the weekday cartoon that were much better than this movie. The fight between Superman and Doomsday was cool, but the movie died, along with Superman, after that. I was a little shocked by the sensual undertones between Superman and Lois Lane. I'm not sure that was necessary in a movie that looks to be targeted to kids. Overall, this move was okay, but I wouldn't recommend waisting $15 dollars on it. Wait until it goes into the $3.99 bin.

great sets that have the full graphic novel and movie must have for fan or collectors

this superman series is good and has good quality. you will never take your eyes off the screen until it's over.

Great story excellent adaptation of a great story...
