DCfan Honestly this is just the best one at present. I saw this movie as treat since I passed my ICT exam and it was literally the best evening i had that night. I even have to say this is better then Superman Brainiac Attacks. I learn more about Supergirl and her people in this movie. Oh and I forgot to mention that Supergirl was hot especially since the beautiful Molly C Quinn (Castle) who nailed the part was voicing her. In fact the art style, animation and mostly every character design in this movie was good. How ever this movie is definitely not for kids since in one scene a robot murders a Kryptonian by putting a rod through his head and in another scene when Brainiac looks though his bottle that he traps Metroplis in Lois puts out two fingers at him (which was pretty funny). The best scene was when Superman fights the robot at the start of the film, Tries to escape Kandor and the last battle. The voice acting was pretty good especially Matt Bomer as Superman and John Noble as Brainiac. Overall awesome movie if you are a fan of Superman you might like this movie. Ignore the bad reviews from the nostalgia fanboys .
Eric Stevenson Well, I had no idea what this Superman movie would be about, so I was glad to be surprised. This movie features Superman and Supergirl going up against the villain Brainiac. It's interesting to see Supergirl being more developed as the last movie I saw introduced her in a way. Now, the character designs are different so we know it's not a direct sequel. It does kind of make me wonder why they do this. Why not just set up a new series of related films instead of just making them different? They're made by the same people. It's weird how these cartoon Superman movies are much more entertaining than the theatrical ones with the DC film Universe.Well, Brainiac gets to shine here. My favorite thing is probably just how well paced this film is and for a movie that's only 75 minutes long, that's no easy task. I also really like this version of Lois Lane given how snarky she seems and wants her relationship with Superman to advance. It ends on a rather uplifting note too. The action's quite good and it's interesting to see Superman in weaker times. We even get to see some of the humans contribute by fighting some robots! This may be the lowest rated movie here I've ever seen with a 100% on RottenTomatoes, but it's still good. ***
deshan-78580 Before I start reviewing, let me give you guys a brief warning, this review may contain some spoiler alerts if you can't handle them, then stop reading right now, let the review begin. Superman Unbound is a 2013 direct to video DC Animated movie, the story follows Superman fighting Brainiac once again, but this time teamed up with his cousin Supergirl. Supergirl has gave some more info about Krypton to Superman, so it leaves Superman away from earth for a few days to discover Krypton & face off against Brainiac & his robot army at the same time. That's the official storyline for this movie, now let's move on to the overall pros & cons of this movie. Pros: - Decent voice-acting - Gritty action sequences (since it's rated PG-13 in the first place) - Good concept & presentation Cons: - Occasional plot holes - Cheap low- budget looking animation - Forgettable soundtrack - Slow pacing Overall, this movie gets a 5 out of 10, if you're a fan of Superman or the entire DC universe, I would check it out to see for yourself, otherwise I would only recommend it when you got nothing better to do, it's mediocre at best.Rated PG-13 for action violence & rude gesture
ersinkdotcom For the past eight years, Batman received all the love at the movies when it comes to DC Comics' characters. That's all about to change on June 14 when "Man of Steel" hits theaters. DC and Warner Premiere aren't going to settle for TV commercials and trailers to get people pumped up. Two new comic books and a DC Universe Animated Original Movie entitled "Superman Unbound" are keeping the super hero fresh on everyone's minds as well."Superman Unbound" serves as a tasty appetizer for the main meal coming up. The Man of Steel joins forces with his cousin, Supergirl, to battle Brainiac after the super villain shrinks down Metropolis and adds it to his collection of cities from different planets he's destroyed. Superman must find a way to keep Braniac from destroying the Earth and save all the captured cities of the universe, including Krypton's capitol Kandor.As is usual with the DC animated movies, "Superman Unbound" is loaded with action from the beginning to the end. Director James Tucker and writer Bob Goodman know how to keep the pace moving at a breakneck speed and demand the audience's attention. You take a 128 page graphic novel and shove it into a 75 minute film. There's no time for the viewer to get distracted or for the movie to lose steam.The animation for "Superman Unbound" differs from what we've come to expect from the DC animated features. It varies in style greatly from "Superman vs. The Elite." One example is the Man of Steel's facial features. The other characters look different as well."Superman Unbound" is definitely a PG-13 movie. There are scenes of Braniac changing himself into a cyborg that would freak out little kids. His robots drill into the heads of their victims, which splashes a lot of blood around on screen. Lois Lane also flips Braniac the double birds in one scene. Superman even says a bad word at one point. There are also some light sexual references most kids won't pick up on, but they're still present."Superman Unbound" is a super tag team smack down with none of the heavy-handed social commentary or politically correct propaganda we experienced last time around.
