Good action but miss things. - I Love Yahweh Yeshua Christ! - Brooklyn, New York
I have to say first that I love Superman for he is my childhood SuperHero. I personally like this movie that is why I gave it four stars. Second I Think that is could have been better though and I think that is could have been more similar to the Superman Comics. I would have love to see Supergirl in it any case I do recommend this video for rent and/or Buy. I love you Superman!

Misses the mark - S. Davis - Grinnell, IA USA
I bought this flick not expecting to have a recreation of the Death of Superman story from the comics, but at the very least expecting a good film. I got neither.

The animation overall is decent. Quite similar to the Justice League style if you're familiar with that. However, some of the changes to the faces of the characters are rather distracting and quite frankly, ugly.

My real beef with the film is the story. It seems very disjointed. I have no problem with them not sticking to what happened in the comics very closely, but what they replace it with is far far worse. After the first act (which is the best act, containing the fight with Doomsday which is fantastic) I quickly lost interest and wanted to turn it off. I held out hoping the last act would redeem the film, it doesn't in any way.

My favorite comic book storyline ever has to be "The Death and Return of Superman Trilogy," so when DC announced they were going to adapt the story into their first Direct to DVD feature, I was optimistic. The reality is, it never had a real chance at being an accurate representation of The Death and Return of Superman, it would take an entire 26 episode season of Justice League to present the story correctly, there's no way a 72-minute DVD was going to do it justice. The end result is an overall forgettable Superman experience.

The main feature itself isn't bad, it's just incredibly average. As they point out in the commentary, this isn't much different than what they could get away with on Justice League. They made a great rendition of Superman's initial battle with Doomsday, but the real heart of the Death and Return of Superman Trilogy is really boiled down. What made the original story so remarkable was the impact Superman's death had on the world around him, other superheroes, and his closest friends and family. Here, we just get Lois and Jimmy. So, it's very quick, and that takes the weight from the story. In the source material, it feels like Superman is dead for three months, the movie makes it seem like he was dead for three days.

Let me be clear, it's still a decent narrative, despite not measuring up to the graphic novel. The animation is very similar to the normal Bruce Timm style, all except for Superman's distracting cheekbones, and the fight with Doomsday looks great.

So, it's only a 3 out of 5.

But, you know what makes it really worth owning? (At least for guys like me.) This contains a special documentary called, "Requiem and Rebirth: Superman Lives!" a behind the scenes look at the creation of the original Death and Return of Superman Trilogy. It's great, I've watched it more times than I've watched the movie.

So, if you're looking for a superhero fix, this one's worth a rent. For those of us that liked the graphic novel, then the Documentary is worth watching at least once.
