Review of All Star Superman (2011) by Alexander P — 14 Jun 2013

Based on one of DC's bestselling comic runs, All-Star Superman is a daring and ambitious adventure that's unlike anything that Superman has faced before. When Superman is irradiated with a lethal dose of solar radiation he's given a few weeks to live, and uses the time to set things right with his friends and enemies.

Unfortunately, the film tries to cram in too much, and it ends up diminishing and cluttering up the story. And while the animation is quite vivid, it's not especially impressive or well used. Despite the rich source material, All-Star Superman is an unfocused mess that's unsatisfying.
