    this was a decent flick. superman was good as always and i loved the incorperation of the phantom zone, but lex luthor wasnt done very well. they drew him like the old animated series but he had a new voice and they made him a little more wacky and groveling, which was a bad th...( read more)ing in my mind. overall worth a watch.

    A weaker-than-usual DCAU outing which lacks the punch of the more epic Superman adventures in recent animation.

    One of my favorite shows growing up.

    When a writer of a movie goes out of his way on his website to say that what he wrote is out-of-continuity and was just released to coincide with the release of a major movie, you know you're in trouble.
    This movie feels like you were invited to your grammy's house who you know s...( read more)o well, and then when you get there, she starts feeling you up and telling you how much she needs some.
    Awkward. Uncomfortable. Out of sorts. Just not damn right!

    It feels all wrong. They used the same visual style as the series and the voice acting for Supes and Lois, and damned the rest to hell. Lex sounds like his underwear is 2 sizes too small and he's cracking jokes every 3 minutes. He _should not_ be cackling in wide-eyed glee. Mercy is having a hard time knocking out Jimmy. Superman saves Lois' life by getting to first base with her. The music is cheesily retro 50's or 60's right from the opening credits.

    Extra features on the DVD? Trailers. That's it. RUSH JOB. Rush right past it and move on to something else.

    cheesy dream-sequence took away the DCAU fans' chance for Lois to learn Clark's secret and for the love-fest to progress. still left it open to hang on that they might do that sometime down the road

  • June 4, 2008
    I enjoyed this movie for the superman-ness of it but it wasn't as good as any of the other superman stoylines I've ever seen. It was interesting to see superman in the phantom zone but the ending annoyed me to no end and to be honest this just wasn't too great but It's superman s...( read more)o I still like it.

    Could have been so much better...

    All these movies are lacking big time.

    Very Poor. The animation was weak and the acting followed suit. Lex was a moron in this story and Superman wasn't himself at all. The person they had voicing Brainiac was weak as well.
    The story wasn't good at all and it left me wishing for it to have never been made.
    I really...( read more) disliked this one.
