Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent but underrated film

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The Death of SupermanThe hardest part of burying Superman's body is figuring out how to bury Clark Kent's in the afternoon.Furthermore, the superhero community in this animated adventure are too distraught to grave dig.When an alien crash-lands on earth with the intent of wiping out the human population, the Justice League (Rosario Dawson, Nathan Fillion) is dispatched.But when the being defeats them with ease, it is up to Superman (Jerry O'Connell) to step in. Evenly matched, the titans tear Metropolis asunder as Lex Luthor (Rainn Wilson) plots his own attack on the depleted Man of Steel.With confident animation, apt voice-work and dynamic action, this 32nd installment in the DC Universe Animated Movies franchise is a more comic-book accurate adaptation of the Doomsday storyline than the company's previous version released a decade prior.And now that Superman is dead the battle over his magical space bones can begin. Green Light

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.

Finally, after seeing Superman die 4 times on the screen, we've got a very accurate and decent adaptation. Don't get me wrong, I don't care if this is accurate in how much similar it is to the comic book. But it gave me the same feeling as reading it (and, damn, I had a lot of feels with this movie). Visually, I loved this movie. Even though there isn't much improvement in the animation, I really liked the color palette. The sunset or night scenes had a great combinnation of colors. The story, as it's fragmented in a few sub-plots, is a progressive journey through the feelings that Superman gives to the people of Metropolis and the whole world, and makes you feel the same desperation they felt on the climax of the movie. What I didn't like was the way the post-credit scenes where shown. I'd prefered if it was all together instead of each one separated from the other. Even though, I really look forward to seeing the Reign of the Supermen next year.

It's nice that DC apparently let their kids write a script, but they really shouldn't have used any of it for the movie. The dialogue is atrocious - stilted and ham-fisted at ever turn.And the voice actors were horribly miscast - Rainn Wilson (whose work I usually enjoy) was arguably a worse choice for Lex Luthor than Jesse Eisenberg, an impressive feat in itself. Jerry O'Connell (Superman) and Rosario Dawson (Wonder Woman) fared little better, but that might have been due to the absolute garbage they were being given to work with.How does one make a JL versus Doomsday movie *boring* of all things? The first half of the movie is a disjointed mess, a blatant attempt to shoehorn in the 4 new "Supermen" that will be starring in the next flick, but they contributed nothing to the story. The whole subplot about Lois meeting the Kents was 100% unnecessary and only served as padding for the movie length. Martian Manhunter didn't appear at all in the flick except to show up, get set on fire, and then not be used again. And as much of a fan of profanity as I am, it was just stupid in this movie. Not that superheroes can't swear, but it sounded like an 8th grader wrote it.Skip this. Skip it hard. Want to watch a DC animated flick that's worth it? Go watch "Batman: Under The Red Hood", "Justice League: Doom", "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox", or "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse". Even "Superman: Doomsday" (you know, the first time they made this animated movie?) was better than this, and I didn't like "Superman: Doomsday".Ugh, I wish I could give this thing negative stars...
