Luthor finds a way to subject Superman to a lingering death and, as his resources start to dwindle, Superman starts to put his affairs in order.Based on a 12-issue series written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely, in which silver age sensibilities were given a contemporary update, this adaptation (the final work of the late and much missed Dwayne McDuffie) is necessarily episodic. It's good, though - the half dozen or so subplots are all entertaining, and the overriding story of Superman's apparent imminent demise holds everything together as the film moves to an unexpected conclusion.Voice talent is good and the script only occasionally dips into Morrison's sometimes lamentable propensity to lapse into verbal excess. Design captures the essence of Quitely's quirky faces, and animation is solid.An enjoyable animated feature.

This is not like any other DC animated movie you will ever see... I say this because it packs an emotional punch equal to that of The Japanese master, Miyazaki. It's jam Packed with great action sequences and other mind blowing story arcs, but it's also got a soul. Rare in a comic book movie. Lex is awesome, as is Lois... But as with any story that involves SUPERMAN, we the viewer must "feel" emotionally attached to The Man of Steel for it to work. Your either going to "feel" or your not. If your lucky like I was, you will get it. You will empathize with Superman right away. No other superhero has the ability to make grown men cry. I expect to shed a few tears in the Dark Knight Rises, but not the kind of tears SMALLVILLE conjured. Superman is special, and you either get it or you don't. If your a fan... You will love this animated feature. Real men love Superman.

Superman finds out that the thing that gives him all his amazing powers, the sun...is also the very thing that will kill him, after being exposed to too much solar energy and now he is slowly dieing. So, the Man of Steel decides to spend his last days on Earth helping the innocent and spending some time with his beloved Lois Lane.As a life long comic book fan, I am disappointed in myself for not reading the comic material that this animation movie is based on, if any..So I answer this as an audience member. In essence everything you could possibly want is there...the voice actors are very good in their chosen roles, the dialogue is satisfactory...However, even I a comic book fan found the erratic sequence of heroic deeds quite confusing...when he goes to find a suitable planet for the last Kryptonian survivors and then immediately he returns home to find that another set of Kryptonians have arrived and then he immediately dispatches them.I felt that more time could have been given in telling a story about who Clark Kent really is...rather than focusing on Superman's amazing feats..I understand its called Superman for a reason, but a little bit more intimacy would have been nice.

It was so stupid it simply made me laugh the whole time. If this is supposed to be a plot... Somehow I felt like it was made by those guys who made Family Guy, it's just so random. No structure just things happening. I really thought about turning it off but then there came another funny text oder situation. You will really see some strange things in here. Someone tries to steal sunlight, lizard-people attacking the city but no one cares! Strength contest between superheroes next, than there is a violet vagina faced monster, Lois can fly, miniature city under glass, Superman is dying, other Kryptnonians appear but it's as unimportant as all things that happened before, Superman leaves his key to his secret base in front of his door and who wonders? The enemies take the key and enter the base! Just so many incredibly stupid superficial situations it is just horrible and funny at the same time. This is my favorite quote:"What do you feed him?" "Suns. Little ones I make here on my cosmic anvil" For all in all I would give this movie really no more than 1 point but the animation and the music were good, and it kept me laughing but at the other side it's not intended this way. So if you like a good superhero movie don't watch it. If you like stupid funny things you may go on and watch it.
