The DVD came quickly and also had a great 3D cover. The movie was worth every penny and kept my kids and I entertained the whole way through.

I dont' usually get excited about 'cartoons', even if they are aimed at a more mature crowd-but this one is worth the time.
I'm sure most people know that Superman meets his toughest adversary-EVER-in this movie. Without giving the plot away, I only can say that you can really get into this movie. It's that interesting. A definite buy. I own it, and have watched it with the grandkids, and my oldest son. Enjoy the ride.

If you are a fan of the entire comic book story, then this video may disapoint you. But I can say it is definetly one of the better DTV movies out there. It had a good plot, decent animation, and the voice talent was well done. It did have some adult thrmes, so it is not one I'd let my 4 year old watch, but they did a good job on the movie. I am looking forward to additional DC Comic movies in the future.

With Brice Timm at the helm I though for sure this would have blown me out of my shoes. The fight was fantastic and despite other opinions I think the voice acting was too. What I thought the real problem with this movie was is that it missed how effected the world and didn't feeling as big as OH MY GOD THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED! SUPERMAN IS DEAD! And the whole return was so far removed from the comic to fit in a movie I really didn't like it.
It looks to me like it was made to be appealing new viewers who don't know the storyline rather than fans.

I've long been a fan of the animated DC universe. Batman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection) was an amazingly well-done show, following on the heels of Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition), and bringing a much more "adult" feel to cartoons. When Superman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection) began to air, I enjoyed it, but not as much as the Batman series.
Now we have this, a 70 minute movie covering roughly the same matieral that was covered in, oh, about a year's worth of comics. Needless to say, the movie suffers somewhat as a result. You don't get to see the JLA fighting Doomsday, you don't see much of the funeral or the way Superman's death impacted the wider world, and you don't get any of the other Supermen, like Steel or Superboy. You DO get another Superman, but only the one.
Plus a lot of what was done during the fight between Doomsday and Superman didn't make any sense. Why would Doomsday smack Supes around a bit, know that he's not dead, and go try to kill a few other people? Bad tactics. Make sure your enemy is dead before you move onto the next one. What is this, ADD Doomsday? (meantime, in Central City... "Look, it's ADD Man! He's coming to save us! He's coming to- oh, no, wait. He's seen something shiny. We're doomed")
As this is a direct-to-video movie, they were able to ratchett up the language and violence by a fair margin. The film is PG-13 and looks it, so bear this in mind.
The animation was, as I expected, top-notch. The acting was generally ok all around, but I REALLY missed Clancy Brown as the voice of Lex Luthor. The current fellow sounds more like Lex Loser and wasn't really memorable.
This is an alright movie, but really more worth renting than buying. If Amazon allowed half-stars it would have two-and-a-half, but since it doesn't, I'll round it up to three. If you want a really GOOD animated super-hero film check out Batman Beyond - Return of the Joker (The Original Uncut Version). You'll be much happier.
