Superman/Doomsday (2007) Reviews
This isn't your father's animated Superman!
I saw the premiere of Superman Doomsday on July 26, 2007 at the San Diego Comic-Con. It rightfully earns a PG-13 rating for some very intense violence. Although impossible to condense the epic comic book saga into about 80 minutes, the movie captures the essence of the comic book series. The story moves along briskly in the first and third acts, with lots of death and destruction. The second act looks poignantly at a world without Superman. The scene between Lois Lane and Martha Kent brought a tear to my eye. The animation is of high quality. The characters are drawn somewhat differently than in previous incarnations. The way they drew the character cheekbones was a bit distracting at first, but I soon got used to it. Otherwise, the characters and the animation were quite nicely done. Overall, I enjoyed Superman Doomsday a lot and I look forward to more PG-13 interpretations from the DC universe.
Mixed feelings.
I couldn't even decide on whether to give it a 7 or 8, and the 8 almost won out if it would have meant it would stay higher than SUPERMAN RETURNS: for that is the benchmark for how wrong Warners can get Superman and yet fool so many people into thinking it's "really Superman." As for this film, it's a little better, but still has its problems, so it gets a 7. The relationship between Lois and Superman is such that they appear to be sleeping together, but she doesn't know he's really Clark Kent. This IS decidedly un-Superman-like; however, the film is advertised as being one with more of a "badder" Superman and as generally being "darker." It doesn't pee on our shoes and tell us it's raining like SUPERMAN RETURNS. The story is a loose adaptation of not one, but THREE Superman sagas, that were later graphic novels: "Doomsday" (a.k.a. THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN), "Funeral for a Friend," (a.k.a. WORLD WITHOUT A SUPERMAN), and "Reign of the Supermen" (a.k.a. THE RETURN OF SUPERMAN). Doomsday's origin is very different, as are aspects of Superman's life before the battle. No other super-heroes are mentioned. And perhaps most radical (and disappointing) is the exclusion of the four alternate Supermen of the comics. Instead, Superman dies at the hands of Doomsday, who was unearthed by employees of Lex Luthor. He starts his rampage and Superman dies. Afterwards, a mysterious new Superman emerges. It's not long before we learn that he/it was created by Lex Luthor to take the place of Superman. The clone eventually becomes a tyrannical overlord of Metropolis and the real Superman--at reduced power--has to take him out. Some will object to the language, the relationship of Lois and Supes, and some of the more violent scenes. The character of Toyman is the first victim of the faux Supes, but some might even find it justified in that he'd killed a little girl. Moreover, when we first see the Toyman (designed to look like something out of Tim Burton's sketchbook, which may be significant to note) he has a bus full of kids trapped. Nothing is ever stated, but one must wonder if he's trying to imply that he's a child molester in this version of reality. The character designs are okay, but Superman might look a little too old for some peoples' tastes, and like Kate Bosworth in SUPERMAN RETURNS, Lois might look a tad young. For longtime fans of the SUPERMAN/JUSTICE LEAGUE cartoons of recent years, the new voices might take some getting used to. The biggest problem with the film is that everything seems to happen too fast. We barely feel the loss of Superman before the impostor shows up. And like many superhero vehicles, there are certain things that are, perhaps, somewhat comicbookish. For one thing, Superman is revived at, say, 67%. What does that mean to the typical viewer? That he's 67% as strong as he usually is? If so, what are the upper limits? Is the "Superman" he's battling necessarily at 100% himself? And like so many comics, the anti-hero (the faux Superman)'s big crime is that he murdered Toyman and the film regards it as wrong. However, Superman himself appears to be trying to kill his doppleganger, making it seem somewhat hypocritical to say the least. Ultimately, the story about Lex's Superman clone is just not as interesting as "Reign of the Supermen," which kept comic book fans guessing in 1993. Sure, the cat's out of the bag now, and it would be in need of some changes, but it's simply a better story. This mixed with mediocre character designs and ideas that are created simply for shock value, make this outing just pretty good as an experiment. I just hope future direct-to-DVD DC (that's a mouthful) projects are better.
Hard hitting and will make you flinch
Saw this at the San Diego comic con and the 2 hour wait was worth it! Now this is a fresh take on the Death of Superman (obviously only an hour and half long verse how many comic book issues?) but what a movie! This does deserve the PG-13 rating as your going to see Superman and Doomsday in a nasty street fight! (There was also one bad word in the movie too) Then there is Lex Luther. You will hate this bastard (oh yeah, he goes over the top to prove what a scum bag he is). Yes it is animated but unlike the other DC animated movies this one is probably not for the wee ones (2-7). There is a quit a bit of death in this movie, not bloody or gross but this movie would make Robocop say "that's a lot of bodies." And that is the first 20 minutes. But once you start watching this one you will be glued regardless if you watched any of the Superman movies before (animated or live action). Don't get popcorn till the middle of this one as your going to spill it in the opening from saying "DAMN! Can they do that?" And then when it is over you can ponder if you should open up a construction business in Metroplis as they will need it.
not too bad,but not that faithful to the comic version of events
as an animated movie,this one isn't too bad.i liked the story and the great action sequences and there are some great fight scenes.but if you're really into the history behind the battle between Superman and Doomsday and the aftermath(in other words,if you've read the comic version of the events)you might be disappointed,as i don't think it is that faithful to the source material.but beyond that,the movie does seem a little rushed.i think they may have tried to jam too much into the short 75 minute running time.still,the movie is entertaining.you shouldn't get bored watching it.DC has done better though and although i liked it,it wasn't as good as i had hoped or expected.all in all,though,i'd Give Superman:Doomsday a 7/10 based on it's entertainment value.
Good for what it is.
This movie was good or maybe great for what it is, but it felt short changed. The fight between doomsday was WOW! The funeral was GREAT! The resurrection was good, but I was expecting to see Superman return from the afterlife the way it was depicted in the comics. They also should have showed Doomsday demolish JLA. I understand this is a'Superman only' story, but it would have only taken 5 minutes for Doomsday to demolish JLA. That would have amplified Doomsday more and the rest of the 65 minutes could be focus on Superman! Jimmy could have said: "My God Lois, Doomsday defeats JLA in 5 minutes! How on Earth will Superman defeat him!" In the comics there was four characters who appear to replace Superman. In the movie there is only one...a clone. Note in the comics the clone is actually the cyborg, but I guess the filmmakers wanted to change that too. All in all, a very fun movie. This movie is loosely inspired by the Death and Resurrection graphic novels. If you can accept that, then you'll enjoy it. I admit...I did.
