- Disappointing
For a fan of the comics and that particular story line... this movie is far off. I am sorry I wasted my money on such a crummy story line.

Rating:

- AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is by far, one of the best animated cartoons I have watched. DC should continue to make them like this one. (Batman,Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etc.) Now that I think about it, they should make a movie about the whole justice league.

- DOOMSDAY OR NOT DOOMSDAY?
I JUST BOUGHT THIS MOVIE AND I HAVE TO SAY ,NICH! I AM COMPELD TO SAY 4 THINGS :

1.IT'S FOR SUPERMAN-DOOMSDAY DIE HARDS ONLY THOUGH THE OLD SCHOOL COMICS MANIACS (LIKE MYSELF) MAY FIND IT BLASPHEMOUS FOR IT IS A POOR ADAPTETION OF THE COMIC.

2.IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE "DEATH OF SUPERMAN" I STRONGLY ADVICE YOU TO DO SO 'CAUSE SEEING FIRST THIS MOVIE MAY DESTROY FOR YOU THE MYSTERY BEHIND DOOMSDAY'S NATURE.

3.IT IS A MOVIE PRODUCED ON THE FACT THAT THE COMIC EXISTS SO " THERE IS NO NEED TO CREATE AN AIR OF MYSTERY AND AN EPIC ATMOSPHEAR! JUST PUT SOME GREAT PUNCHES AND VIOLENCE AND WE HAVE IT" IDEA! THEY FIND A SPACESHIP, THE ALIEN COMES OUT ( LETS NAME IT DOOMSDAY FOR STORY SAKES), IT IS NEAR METROPOLYS, "BAM BOUM!!! PUNCH KICH!!! DEATH!!! THE END.

4. AND LAST, THREE STARS IN THE MEMORY OF A GREAT AND EPIC STORY SUCH AS "THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN".

CHEERS AND IF YOUR CURIOUS OK, BUY IT. IT'S FUN.

P.S. 1.THOUGH IF YOU LIKE ANIME SUCH AS "DRAGONBALL" MIGHT LIKE THE FIGHT.
2.THE EXTRAS ARE GOOD.

- A Really Good Movie!
yeah, Doomsday is different from the comics for which it is based, but I was very impressed by the overall film. Needless to say, the acting talent is top choice with many famous names thrown in (including a cameo by comic book fan Kevin Smith). I was expecting a very cut up storyline that wouldn't make sense since it is compressing so many comics into an hour and fifteen minute movie. I was wrong, the story flows a lot better than I would have expected it it doesn't lose the emotion.

The Doomsday fight itself was cut shorter than what is shown in the comics, but it was still pretty powerful and I actually felt sad when the sad moments occured. Overall, a lot better than I hoped, and that could be a reason why I think it is so good. I don't regret buying it and look forward to watching it again. It's different, but still really fun

My wife makes fun of me for shushing the kids so I can hear "cartoons". I quickly correct her, "Superman - Doomsday is not a 'cartoon.' It's an 'animated feature film.'" This clarification for some reason always seems to bring on even more chuckles over a bottle of wine with friends than it does clarify the matter.

Anyway, My kids were as captivated as I was for Superman - Doomsday. What is with the PG-13 rating of Superman - Doomsday?...I remember a couple of scenes in Finding Nemo that were more intense for young children, but Nemo gets a G rating. I'll tell ya, I think that the MPAA needs a rating themselves. That would be an 'F'. Rest assured, Superman - Doomsday is definitely for kids too unless you shield your kids from the same kinds of intensity that can be found in the most intense chapters of Nemo and other Disney G-rated classics.

Now, on the other side of the coin...Doomsday does viciously do away with some of the folks that cross his path. So a little Parental Guidance could be in order for kids 7 and under. But any 10 year old that needs Parental Guidance for Superman - Doomsday doesn't get out much.

Superman - Doomsday isn't quite as well put together as the Justice League) series, but it was pretty good. I don't follow the comic book series, but I understand that there are some continuity issues between this movie and the DC Comics...most notably the origin of Doomsday. But the story told on the DVD held up, and was pretty cool.

LexCorp's minions find an alien craft in some mine and accidentally unleash Doomsday (an ugly looking monster) from the craft. The monster wreaks havoc; Superman comes to the rescue; and the result could be a dramatic change in a World that is used to having Superman around to protect everyone.

It is not necessary to have ever seen a Justice League episode or read a DC Superman comic book to enjoy the Superman - Doomsday DVD. On the contrary...familiarity with the comic books or TV series might hinder your viewing pleasure based on the varying continuity factors.

Final word: sit back and enjoy. And don't forget to provide that all-important Parental Guidance for the kids that have never seen the 6 o'clock news.
