Rating: - ~Superman Doomsday~
Ok, I got this the first week it came out, I've watched it about 3-4 times. I watched it last night. I'd say after viewing this a couple times, It's a good film. I'd give it 4/5 stars. Though I do not know much about the comics and if they just completely ruined it or not. I know the JL was suppose to appear at Superman's funeral and they weren't there, though. Theirs alot of action in this, and Doomsday doesn't really have much to say in this movie (he literally says nothing.) Though, the marks ... Read More

Rating: - Good, but not as good as the WB series
I wonder what's up with DC. The recently released Batman: Gotham Knight, Justice League: New Frontier, and now Superman: Doomsday all seem to push limits and go for a PG-13 rating by adding gore and profanity and a high body count. I guess they're trying to be edgy and attract older viewers, but I think this may put off some fans. I would not let anyone under 12 or 13 watch these movies. Gotham Knight actually pushes an R-rating with its bloodshed.

But at least Gotham Knight had Kevin ... Read More

Rating: - The Death of Me
Look. I love Superman. I have a superman t-shirt that I've worn since I was 10 (in the privacy of my own home, don't worry). I've seen all the Superman movies (good and bad), I've read Superman comics, read the entire "Death of Superman" series several times, etc, etc. This movie frankly was awful. I didn't time it (and I'm not about to watch it again to find out) but it was basically 60 minutes of battles and 16 minutes of dialogue in the WHOLE ... Read More

Rating: - This is terrible
I don't understand how anyone could like this. The writers of this dvd movie took a excellent story and completely destroyed it. What happened? Where the writers not given enough time to write the story?, Did WB give such a short time frame to create this movie that this is a rushed project?

I loved the original story of Doomsday, If you did too you will find this very disappointing. I expected to be wowed, instead I found myself constantly checking to see how much time was left.

Rating: - Better Than Expected
I'm not really sure why so many people disliked this movie. Frankly, I think people are expecting too much from animated movies these days. Now, if it had gone to theaters, I'd say that was another story. That would put it under closer scrutiny. But here some people were really unfair. Just read some of these reveiws!
Of course it's true that Superman:Doomsday isn't perfect; no movie can satisfy everyone. It does take a pretty blunt view of death and probably shouldn't be watched by little ... Read More
