Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
strjico-95598 This is the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Very intense making, emotions were flying with the superheroes with it. Fantastic. I wonder why they could not bring this greatness other than animated movies.
fcabanski There's nothing new in this story, and there's nothing old done better than it was done before. There is a bore fest with 0 real action until the half way mark - 40 minutes of a weak love story, boring conversations, tired superheroes train in a simulator, and superheroes act like 16 year olds.There was a scene in JL Unlimited in which Batman easily saw through Clay Face pretending to be Flash. Batman knew it wasn't really Flash because Clay Face was hamming it up too much, taking Flash's personality too far.Not only is Flash that same caricature - Flash gone too far - in this movie, but Aquaman and GL act like Flash gone too far too. Is this really a spoiler since everyone knew it would happen - Superman dies with the final, killing blow to Doomsday. Gee, we haven't seen that before.It seems Doomsday's greatest power is in boring audiences to death. We get it, he's tough, and he's tough, and he's tough, and he's tough, and tough...Good grief, come up with something original, new.The voice acting is wooden.The animation is pathetic.Avoid this at all costs. You can't go in there, watching it. It will bore you to death.
DarthPaul85 In 2007 we got an animated film covering the full Doomsday/return of superman saga. For some reason, I guess DC wanted to do it again. The good- the film looks very good; the animation is great, the drawings are detailed, and the characters have their authentic look from the comics. The fight scenes are also quite good, and make the battles epic without going into Man of Steel level carnage. The presentation of Doomsday is also top-notch, he's never felt more dangerous or unstoppable. The "graphic" violence adds a degree of danger, but I wouldn't oversell it- anyone over the age of 11 has probably seen worse on network television. Also, lots of nice little touches to the world, like people trying to take selfies with Superman, give this film a little more character.The middle- the voice acting left me cold. Nothing is too bad (although Rain Wilson is kind of hammy as Lex Luthor, which I didn't like). Superman and the rest certainly have conviction, but the dialogue doesn't really stand out. The script is also a bit simplistic- generally kind of blah and predictable. The bad- the pacing is inconsistent. The film takes *forever* to get to "the good stuff," and the time before that is not exactly captivating. They're trying to build suspense and world-build and everything, but we already know what Doomsday is and what he's going to do! The subplot about Clark and Lois also didn't do much for me- the overall point of it was fine, but the pacing just dragged it out too much. In this regard, the 2007 film wins out. That film was much more "cartoony," but it had quick pacing and covered twice as much material in less time. So basically, we have a more "adult" version of the Doomsday story (but not the entire story). What the film adds in production values and fighting choreography, it lacks in pacing and originality. Although the 2007 film was less popular, I'd much rather watch the 2007 one again, as it was more entertaining, had better pacing, and tells the entire story in less time than this film.
jeffk-52416 He just gets into a fistfight. In this movie, he dies of course, but oh no, he's not dead! He just somehow is alive again. Huh? That's why DC is struggling.
