I for one, thought that it was absolutely awful. The story really didn't follow the comics, and it made Doomsday seem like a robot from the way he saw things, and his glowing eyes going out when he died. There was no Cyborg Superman or Steel, and Superboy couldn't be included due to legal reasons (of course). It seems like every new animated movie needs new voices, as none of the ones in this movie were the same as Superman: Braniac Attacks, JLU, or STAS. And for once, I wanted a Superman movie with a plot where Lex Luthor wasn't behind some elaborate scheme. It's just gotten old. Also, there were a couple cheap ripoffs from Superman II that I didn't enjoy: Doomsday and Superman battling underground (Superman vs. Non) and the clone Superman throwing a boat at the real Superman (Zod and Ursa throwing the bus at him). The fights were good, but the overall movie was not. I'm all of a sudden not so interested in New Frontier or the Judas Contract.............

It was okay, definitely not bad. Why do these companies always want to handcuff these animated film projects by giving us something that has such a short running time? I hate that. This title alone is two hours when done right, and it should have began with a JLA(any roster) DVD story just to show how devastating this guys might is against a team of superheroes, then a Superman DVD(and Kal stays ko'd), leading into another DVD with all the Superman wannabes and then Kal's triumphant return DVD! Thats how you treat that storyline. Its an epic series because it was an epic series in print to begin with.

If this was only about making a fast buck and showing the competition that you can do it too, you'll be in for a rude awakening. Just do IT for the fans not just SOMETHING for the fans. We deserve the cake not the crumbs. Then the violence was toned down because...er because..please give us a break, its 2007 not 1987! Its frikkin Doomsday, what did you expect the character to do, give his victims a wedgie?! If you were worried about the kiddies then you could have released two versions. We play video games that are more realistically violent than you can present in the animated arena.

Guess we'll have to wait for a $200 million big screen live-action version to get it done, huh?!

Ultimate Avengers was far better, and I'm not even a big Avengers guy.
