Memorable, crazy movie

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

To be honest I have never really read the All Star Superman comics. But I think this movie actually helped with understanding the comics. But to be frank I think this movie should have been split into to parts instead of one whole movie. In first part apparently Lois gets kryptonian powers as a gift from Superman which doesn't last for long and in the same segment two random Super powered metahumans turn up called Atlas and Sampeson. Find out the rest in the movie.In the second part Clark goes to a prison to speak to Lex Luthor and an ugly as sin Parasite wants revenge on Lex Luthor. Clarke protects his identity but still uses his powers to protect Luthor. Not going to spoil anymore of the movie but the ending was beautiful. The animation could have improved because it looked rushed.

You can think that the death of Superman should be surrounded by extremely epic celebrations and (as the title lets think) a meeting of all possible other superheroes. This is not so. It is a more slow paced (although not actionless and not boring at all), "sensitive", human, emotional and romantic Superman. Somehow poetic. It is a much better film than MANY super expensive Hollywood productions which bore after few minutes. After browsing internet for hours searching for a decent movie to see, I have only found thousand of the same, things i have seen over and over again. All seems meaningless and empty (no, I am not depressed, i am just saturated by the lack of imagination and creativity of modern cinematography). This movie was the best I have seen in a while. So, respect.

I've only recently begun watching the DC animated movies and have rarely been disappointed, until now. The JLA ones are great, as was a team-up with Superman and Batman. So why did I not like this one? I have been a long-time Superman/DC fan and thought I was pretty familiar with the characters, but there were so many new ones introduced here that I'd never heard of, I might as well been watching an Image comics movie. Quite disjointed, characters and story lines appear out of nowhere. I disliked every second that Samson and Delilah, I mean Atlas, were on screen. It was several minutes before they were even named and I had no idea who they were. Luthor's niece does nothing to contribute to the story, and why was Jimmy Olsen in a dress in the first scene? This had the potential to be so much more, even epic.

The individual events of the movie were fairly well designed, but the overall storyline was disjointed and lacked cohesion. I'm not a fan of superman, though there have been moments in his history that truly spoke to me, largely because of his nigh invulnerability. More specifically it is the result of that nigh invulnerability that makes his story lines frequently boring to me in that he can only be harmed by a handful of things and without those things I never really believe that he's in jeopardy. Had this movie been done well it could have been one of the best ever created. With this potential in mind I found the experience disappointing.
