This could have been so much better if it actually contained more elements from the graphic novel from which it is based. The whole Doomsday vs Superman fight is only in the first 27 min and then he comes back from the dead to deal with some evil clone of himself. I was a little disappointed by this deviation and the animation of Superman is just awful, his face looks melted. It was still enjoyable as it has tons of action and a more serious tone.

MCT:July 25, 2008"The Death Of Superman" is the best selling graphic novel of all time. When it was announced that it was going to be made into an animated feature, I was curious how they would take a story that took a year to tell in comics, and compact it into a single movie. Basically the only thing that remains from the original story is Superman's fatal showdown with the creature called Doomsday. But it is still a well told story. A surprising aspect to the movie is the level of violence. It's quite high for an animated movie, a fact made obvious by its PG-13 rating. The action is fast, and the battle between Superman and Doomsday is brought to the screen in all its epic glory. But the story doesn't end with his death. It includes his resurrection. Upon his return, he must deal with a psychotic clone of himself, created by his arch enemy Lex Luthor. Adam Baldwin is a standout as Clark Kent/Superman. He brings the strengths and vulnerabilities of both characters to life. James Marsters makes a killer Lex Luthor. Literally. Anne Heche is satisfactory as Lois Lane, but her nasally voice doesn't quite suit the sultriness of Lois Lane the way Dana Delany did in the animated series. Still, this is a highly enjoyable and exciting film, and a worthy entry into Superman lore.

The DC Comics animated movie reminds me on the best-selling graphic novel - The Death of Superman, but the story is very different with plenty of exciting action sequences I ever saw between The Man of Steel and Doomsday.
-
MCT:July 13, 2008It was insulting and infuriating what they have done to that story. The most important parts were skimmed over and were done with so fast you didn't even have time to think about being upset about it. Absolutely ridiculous how much they butchered it into something that only vaguely resembled the original story.

It has almost nothing in common with the infamous "Death and Return of Superman" comic book storyline, but it's a good flick all the same, with plenty of action and feeling. The voice acting is great, particularly that of the actress voicing Lois Lane, who manages to convey powerful, raw emotion. I was impressed.

This is the first movie to portrait the events that happened during and after the epic battle between Superman and Doomsday.
Based on the Best Selling comic series that introduced the super villian best known for having 'killed' Superman.
I was slightly disappointed with the fact that this story deviated so far from the original comic. Let's face it; there is no point in making an animated version of the comic. However, for some reason I can't help but feel like this movie robbed the original story much of its integrity.
For starters, Doomsday was created on an ancient Krypton not by some weirdo alien race. Secondly, he was not some mechanical beast, but a continuously evolving biological being. His creator made him for one purpose; to be the ultimate being in the universe.
From a different point of view; keeping in mind the fact that this movie was launched for PG13s in mind, the producers and directors did a good job. With that in mind, I have to say I did enjoyed watching it.
Some scenes made me feel nostalgic. I miss my comics...
I wonder if the Manga team working on Batman: Gotham Knight would give it shot anytime soon? -
MCT:July 6, 2008This movie should not have been called Doomsday. He was in the movie for like, 10 minutes, 15 minutes max. I only read Part I of the Death of Superman, but I don't really remember it being much like this movie.
Also, Superman's face looked like it was drawn with too many lines. It was a little distracting. -
MCT:July 2, 2008Highly recommended animated movie in wihich Superman (Adam Baldwin) goes up against a creature called Doomsday.
-
MCT:June 18, 2008It was fair. I felt it went too far past the plot of the comic for me to truly enjoy it and I think I hated almost all of the choices for the voice acting... especially Lois... yuck...

An ok first showing in DCs direct to DVD animated movies, though its still doesn't come close to New Frontier.

06-10-08 --What if Superman Died? Well this answers the question. Not really. Very Loosley based on the graphic Novels "The Death of Superman & The Return of Superman". I say loosley because very little from the comics was used. Doomsday was only in like 15-20 minutes of the entire movie. There weren't any other DC super hero characters in the movie and they didn't even go the route of the Supermen (Steel,Superboy,the other one). Since I'm a huge fan the movie turned out ok but only as a seperate entity. They should have named it something else though. Animated like the recent cartoons "Adventures of Superman" made famous by the early 90's Batman franchise. Good supporting cast and great line from Kevin Smith. "Oh, like they needed him to destroy a mechanical robot... lame!" If you know Kevin Smith than that is funny!

It had a pretty good start, but that didn't last anywhere near long enough. I realize that cuts had to be made for it to be a one hour movie, but this completely left out most of the characters and events from the latest death of Superman. The DC animated universe style with different voice actors was also a bit jarring.

MCT:June 6, 2008
Well first to me Lex portrayal here I didn't like it!! and superman fight was feeble it didn't last enough!!! the fight should have lasted days!! and there should have been more blood!! and the resurection part I would have better been real to the comics with the several supermans!! but still it's watchable!!!

eh, not that good, but not a waste of time. i actually read the comics where Superman returned and that would have been a cooler story to follow than what they did here
-
MCT:May 29, 2008Whieeeee, AWESOME movie love it! :D
Superman in my heart! XD
)/10 For action, blood, love, drama, mystic n more! -
MCT:May 19, 2008
This was decent. I don't read the comics, but I remembered hearing in the news that Superman was killed off. This movie was cool that it showed the story and was well animated.

I was slightly disappointed with this anime movie. I have not read the novel yet so i can't compare but from what i have been told and read online, Doomsday doesn't die that day and he gets sent to space etc... something we never got to see. We never got to see what happened with Doomsday's body or anything what so ever after Superman defeated him.
Other than that I also was annoyed that no other justice league member made an appearance for his funeral at least but hey, it's still a short fun anime. -
MCT:May 8, 2008
Best Superman cartoon yet! While it is a cartoon, and made several story choices that could've been better... An enjoyable watch. It was a decent 80 minute companion to the famous Graphic Novels. However, several major differences between the comics and the film disappointed me.
I would've liked to see the Justice League make an appearance in the Doomsday fight and the funeral. That would've raised it to 4 stars.
***This movie gets better with a rewatch or two.*** -
MCT:April 15, 2008Cartoons, WITH SWEAR WORDS! =D It's so weird from the old series... it's like a the dead corpse of something beautiful. All the characters just seemed differenty and wrong. Why was Doomsday, the most menacing villian there is, the only thing to have killed Superman... wearing short shorts?? Why was Superman so shiney??? GIANT SPIDER??!!? SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY... well, he's only in it for the first 5 minutes... BUT HE BRINGS DOOOOM!!!

Superman: Doomsday is nothing that's going to send a wild hair up your ass--especially if you compare it to its dragged out comic book story counterpart. The animation's good but not groundbreaking, the fights are cool but only serious Superman fans need bother.

MCT:April 1, 2008
Okay, I love Superman. But this movie pulled Superman out of character. he was destroying the city with little remorse, dies, etc. If this out of the ordinary things bother you, you may not enjoy it much. But let me just say that it bothered me very much and still enjoyed the film.

MCT:March 23, 2008bastante mala. prefiero el comic. lean las sagas. superman dommsday, funeral para un amigo y el reinado de los superhombres.
el doble.. no el triple de mejores -
MCT:March 21, 2008
Doomsday Only Appears In The First 15 Minutes Of The Movie Other Than That I Don't Find A Reason To Call The Movie Superman:Doomsday. Maybe Because I Am Not A Fan Of Superman I Didn't Find It As Great As I Thought It Was Going To Be. This Movie Is Like A Friday The Thirteenth Movie! So Much Killing, So Much Death But Not The Death Of Superman Neccesarily. Watching A Movie Featuring Superman That Is About 1:15 Minutes Long Didn't Do For Me.

There are better things to do with ones time, such as, for example, actually reading the comics. This animated iteration, while quite good for an animated superman movie, is a woeful under achievement as both an animated film, and as an interpretation of the comics.
-
MCT:February 23, 2008
I must say, I was impressed. Seriously, for an animated movie, a Superman one at that, this movie was great. It was corny in some diolouge places, but hey, all animated movies are like that once in a while. Great story though.
