Wow, you've really improved.

This review definitely has rookie-itus. I'm hearing a lot of "uh's" and "likes" in your speech... a large departure from the well-rehearsed reviews that you've given since this one.

[Geekvolution]

@dstebbin Yep, you're not wrong. I was trying something more off the cuff with this first review-- since then, they've all been scripted.

Dude, I think more people should watch your videos. I love your analysis of superhero movies -- very detailed and show that you're a true fan. Thanks and keep up the good work man :-)

@khanhlong89 Thanks very much :)

My production company is making a live Death Of Superman fan trailer.Our vision will be based more on the Death Of Superman comic.If it goes well we will make Funeral For a Friend and then The Reign Of The Supermen.

@TheZoProductions Very cool! I'd love to know more.

@GeekVolution, actually when I found this film on it was a little sticker saying, "First Superman Animated Feature Rated PG-13!" which does prove that they tried to make this PG-13 so you're correct.

What would have been interesting is if they held off on this until they had a few movies under their belt, gaining the proper respect from viewers, so when they make a series of 7 or 8 films, with cliffhangers would be an awesome way to present a definitive adaptation. One in which we get backstory, a great fight, the JL and the Supermen Clones. Check out my review, its not as in depth like yours, but some enjoy it

The fight between doomsday and superman was awesome but everything else I didn't care for.

This would've better for me if it continued from Superman the animated series.

If u heard what they were gonna do in superman lives you would be thanking the gods above they didn't make it

My friend and I did a version of this arc where Superman doesn't appear until the end.

I wrote a sequel to this with my friend Scoonertuna, where Superboy is created by Lex, but Superman saves him. I can PM it to you, if you'd like to see it.
