The best!!! Went in early and found this gem, great collectible for my collection

Wow. This movie is exactly the best of a superhero story. Totally entertaining tons of action and intrigue. The script is really thought through and tells a story that interests you throughout. This movie isn't an origin story its Superman's introduction to what he is going to do for the rest of his life, which is many things including being a champion for Earth, being a reporter for the daily planet, being a son to his parents, etc. An introspection of Superman's journey to accept his path with this gift and life he has been given. This movie you'll be rooting on the characters. Which is another reason you'll like this movie. You get involved with the characters even the unlikely characters in this film like Lobo and his brashness or Lois and her willingness to do anything to control the situation and get the story. A huge difference that makes this a great movie is the quality. The acting is top notch, everyone sounds like they should. The sound is perfect from the monster yells to the peoples cries. The visuals were the best though. The new way they draw and animate this film is like no other before it. Really amazing talent and time that made the picture colorful, clean, crisp, with a pleasing look. It makes it like your reading a comic book. What a great way to reboot their superhero animated universe. I can't wait for the follow up to this movie. Highly recommend this one. I didn't go into much of the story cause I want you to experience the story for yourself and for you to buy this movie, it is worth it. Two thumbs up!

The aspect of this movie that stands out the most in the art-style, which I absolutely adore. It has that "comic book come to life" feel, which is always great for a comic book adaptation. This movie servers as a pretty straight-forward origin story for Superman, coming after the prior continuity of DC universe animated films ended with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. I'd be totally on board if other new DC movies used this same art-style as this one. I also appreciate how this movie focused on some lesser-known characters like Martian Manhunter, Lobo, and Parasite. It was also a relief that Lois Lane wasn't portrayed as an uber-annoying feminist as she has been in some other recent shows/movies. This Best Buy exclusive package comes with a figure of Parasite as well. This is a very different design for the character and feels a bit anime-esque (not necessarily a bad thing). I own quite a few of these animated movie + figure combos from Best Buy and truth be told the figures are never of the highest quality. However, I get the notion the figures are meant to be displayed in the box on a shelf which is what I do with my collection. Speaking of the box, when it shipped to my house the bottom part was bent out in such a way that made it difficult to stand upright. It was a minor issue and has pretty much gone away. TL;DR: Definitely worth a watch and most likely a purchase.

So we all know, more or less the origin of Superman. But this particular take on the Man of Steel, or Man of Tomorrow in this case, focused more on his being an alien in a human world and him coming to terms with that. You could used this metaphor for just about anything where people may judge you harshly for just being who you are. Intolerance in all its evil forms being what it is. But this is a fun, hopeful movie that gives us more than I expected. A really good addition to the continued winners that are the DC direct to Video Animated movies. If you are a fan of Big Blue, pick this up. If you're a fan of the other DC movies, pick this up. And that's about all I have to see about it. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Superman is a hard character to really explore because of his few flaws. This updated take on Kal El stays very true to the character and does an excellent job of exploring his origin and bringing in new characters like Lobo. It is a reboot but makes it a point to stick to the essence of the character, which as a fan is very important. I am very impressed by the overall story and take on the characters - and the ending was terrific making me want to see the next movie in this particular universe. There is some heart and character exploration here, which is why I highly recommend this to any Superman fan.
