    I'm not a Superman fan. I feel he's too dated, too powerful and too goody goody. One of my favourite graphic novels though was The Death of Superman. It showed him at his weakest without involving kryptonite. Superman Doomsday is an excellent animation. It has all the hallmarks o...( read more)f Bruce Timm's work, a fairly powerful score and a decent voice cast. The Doomsday segments are dealt with a bit quickly and handling the death and resurrection storylines in one film feels rushed. It also removes some of the power of Superman's death. There is a brilliant 5-10 minute segment that gets quite deep with how the characters react to his death. Doomsday isn't watered down either. Though mostly (ever so slightly) off camera he snaps necks and crushes people. It's a good story and exciting even for those who prefer their Batman's and Hulk's.

    Grumpy Man: Yeah, like we really needed him to bust up the mechanical spider, right? Lame!

    Apply this statement to the entire movie.

    This almost makes me wanna wash my eyes out with Superman 4...almost.

    The 'Death and Return of Superman' storyline gets an animated effort in this fairly liberal but still exciting presentation. While the story tends to drag and the action is few and far between, the fight scenes are simply awesome and the voice cast is outstanding all round. Far b...( read more)etter than many comic book animations and well worth a look, even if you haven't caught the graphic novels. And... ya gotta love Superman in the black suit!

    I wish it kept 2 the story arc from the comic series but still rather good jus dissappointing

    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.

    Cool beans, man. Superman gets pounded into the ground by Doomsday. Follows the comic story arc, "Death of Superman", but modified for video. A decent comic-based andimated film, but probably a little too graphic for small children.

    This is awesome. I wouldn't have ordinarily watched a movie like this, had it not been for a friend of mine lending it to me. The story was exciting and full of adventure, the characters were well developed and the classic animation was fantastic. A storyline slightly unusual for...( read more) a superman film too, Superman and Comic Book fans alike are sure to love this one.

    Very nice and this being my first DC Animated movies, I think I enjoyed it enough to have a go at the other ones. I think Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is coming out soon. Some things do come to mind though. That little black girl who wanders into the middle of the fight was so...( read more)... well, it's almost as if she was crying cliche. Oh and why do superheroes always have to jump into a fight at 60% strength? Back when I saw DBZ, I hated Goku for taking so fucking long to recover, while others take the beating, to a 100% before making his return, on more than one occasion. I see now that was the right way. I'm pretty sure if he had "come back" to fight Frieza at any less than 100%, the outcome would have been completely different. Also, the ending? How come as soon as he puts on his glasses, she's like, "Kent!" Ell-Ae-Emm-Eee. Bt I have to say, the first fight, with Doomsday was epic. It was nothing like I expected. It would've been so much better if my mom and my sister hadn't interrupted me. I guess they heard me shouting "Holy mother of fuck". So anyway, great movie.

    Has some awesome scenes, and gets much better by the end. But the first half, is absolutely terrible.
