Blu-ray Reviews of Superman: Doomsday [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: It Had Potential
Summary: 3 Stars

I was excited to finally see a PG-13 version of the animated Superman but I was somewhat disappointed instead. I'm a huge fan of the Superman Animated Series so I had really high hopes for this but there were too many problems which annoyed me to the point where I almost stopped watching.

First, the voices do not match the characters at all. Superman and Lois sound completely off and lack the punch and energy of the TV series. Anne Heche (who does Lois) is horrible and made Lois sound like she was 50-60 years old. They made Lois look younger but made her sound older? Superman himself also lacks the gravitas and emotion from the TV series. The voice actor sounded like he was asleep at the wheel. I was also disappointed with everyone else as well. Almost everyone was miscast and their performances were terrible. What happened?

The story also felt rushed. The twist in the middle is just lame and considering the title of the movie is Doomsday, I was disappointed that he was dropped so quickly. Why didn't the writers simply follow the story in the comics? They added some really lame plot devices which also felt undeveloped. They even managed to make Lex Luthor uncool! Wow...

So what's good? The animation for the fights are spectacular. It's pretty much the only reason to watch this movie. It's great to see Superman fight two really strong opponents in full force. The animation is silky smooth with great choreography. I also liked that the villains actually killed people. That's something that made the movie's villains more dangerous which was refreshing.

But overall, Superman Doomsday was disappointing. The story was a mess, the characters were not interesting and the voice actors were terribly miscast. Watch it for the fights and animation. That's the only good thing about this movie.
