Waste of time

Simply Perfect

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

To be honest I have never really read the All Star Superman comics. But I think this movie actually helped with understanding the comics. But to be frank I think this movie should have been split into to parts instead of one whole movie. In first part apparently Lois gets kryptonian powers as a gift from Superman which doesn't last for long and in the same segment two random Super powered metahumans turn up called Atlas and Sampeson. Find out the rest in the movie.In the second part Clark goes to a prison to speak to Lex Luthor and an ugly as sin Parasite wants revenge on Lex Luthor. Clarke protects his identity but still uses his powers to protect Luthor. Not going to spoil anymore of the movie but the ending was beautiful. The animation could have improved because it looked rushed.

I'll keep it brief. I have been working my way through the DC animated catalogue and so far have really enjoyed them all, until now!!!It got a three because I adored the animation and the ole fashioned feel it had. I will confess to not watching the entire film but that was because of LOIS!!!! What did they do to her in this, she is so unlikable and in my opinion unwatchable. She was so snyd and immature and basically a bit of a b**ch. I got as far as her getting Superman to agree to have some kind of prove your worth contest with the 2 numb skulls who showed up, "after all it's my birthday" is her reasoning. Honestly couldn't watch any further.

I can see why some viewers that read the comic book this movie is based could be disappointed. I never read that actual comic book this movie is based on, but I could tell it's missing quite a bit from the comic book. Some parts felt like it was missing and seemed rushed at times. So the plot is about Superman is in a state where he is slowly dying and what he does during his last days on Earth as Superman. By trying to cram a lot of things into a short animated movie form, makes this one appear all over the place at times. And I could even say, a bit inconsistent. The animation is solid though and the movement to the design, was something I really liked seeing in this movie. I especially liked how Superman disguises himself as Clark Kent in this and how he does his best to disguise himself as this weak and clumsy reporter that people look down on. Because it gives you more into the depth of Superman's heart and what he represents. Which actually made me respect this fictitious hero even more. This movie had the potential to be great, but falls short because of the poor development and missing bits.6.7/10

Okay, this is a good film, but it's kind of disjointed. Superman is poisoned with solar radiation when saving the world from another of Lex Luthor's schemes. He realizes he only has a limited time to live, so he is going to take care of all business before he goes, including telling Lois Lane how he really feels (again!) Some of the stories don't really seem to fit well, but I guess this was based on a limited series. It has an interesting take on why Luthor hates Superman with such intensity.We see a whole variety of characters, including Parasite, a couple of Kryptonians, and so on. So it's kind of a what-if outside continuity narrative, which is why they didn't use Tim Daly, I guess.Still, vastly better than Superman Returns.
