Review of All Star Superman (2011) by Jeffrey W — 23 Feb 2011

Quite honestly, this is the greatest Superman movie ever made. It manages to just "get" the character in a way that no other cinematic medium has. This has everything that a Superman story should have, without any of the faults.

It's extremely emotional, nostalgic, action-packed and just flat out cool. The voice talents are incredible, for some reason they all captured the characters perfectly. This takes Grant Morrison's epic compendium of Superman and takes it to the next level.

The plot is episodic, which is in many ways how Superman needs to be experienced, but also ties together into a grand story that captures what it means to give the ultimate sacrifice for the people you love.

When you usually pop in a straight-to-video movie, you don't expect a masterpiece. I guess there are always exceptions.
