Review of Superman: Doomsday (2007) by Arjay B — 14 Mar 2009

If you know the Death Of... Funeral For... The Return of storyline, you know what to expect. Right? Wrong! The guys at Warner Bros were smart enough to change several details, which highly adds an edge-of-the-seat element to this movie.

First, it looks great. The soundtrack is great, the locations look great. Having the action taking place mostly at night really makes this movie really atmospheric.

Some scenes are very brutal and hard to swallow, even for an animated movie. After only a few minutes, you find yourself really caring for some characters while starting to really hate others. So does this movie succeed, overall? Hell, yes. In fact, it's the best Superman movie since Superman II and a great comic book adaptation.
