A Diferent Kind of Superman Experience
While in the first 30 mins or so, I wasn't so sure of how the film would be. A simple way of getting things moving is just introducing the Doomsday character, and how he got there. The sequence of Superman and Doomsday fighting was thought out well but at times, feels like its drags on.
But once Superman is dead, the film finally begins to pick up. We see Jimmy, Martha, Lois, and Lex all grieve in their own interesting ways. And one of the things I loved the most about this film is the sick incarnation of Lex, I'd never seen the character like this before. What Lex does as well to help him get through the absence of Superman is so fascinating as well and is one of the stronger elements of the film. Seeing Lois as a Lover of Superman, and Martha as his mother communicating was also very strong.
The humor of the film is very dark, which I wasn't expecting but I loved it. And there are also very dark moments any way which a story like this would need. Even if you've read The trilogy connecting the Death of Superman, watching this film is a completely new experience and will definitely surprise you.

Much Better What Has Been Written Hear.
I had read so many bad reviews I did not get this. I eventually did and was pleasantly surprised. To start this is NOT the Doomsday of the Comic Book as it would be impossible for them to do so except in a 4 hour movie. This is its own story though quite similar to the comic but takes its own course in a very different direction. Similarly there is a Doomsday though not a tortured son of Krypton, it is an Alien creation. Superman does "die" and a replacement appears. Luther is quite the villian and Superman does have some interesting challenges.
I liked it my wife liked it and the EXTRA BONUS feature is Very Good and as another reviewer wrote Worth the price of the DVD. So I hardily recommend this DVD enjoy but DO NOT expect a video version of the comic book, its not hear and probably never will be. This is its own creature and as I said a good one at that. Great colors and clarity of DVD! JB

Y encima mas sacan edicion doble????
Por favor señores de DC Comics y Warner, tengan decencia, con lo mala que fue la edicion de un disco, ahora quieren sacar la de dos????.
A las personas que van a comprar este DVD les recomiendo que primero lean el comic. Si esta pelicula hubiera sido la mitad de lo buena que fue la secuencia del comic hubiera sido un best seller, pero se quedo totalmente lejos de la calidad de la historieta, siendo esta uno de los mas vendidos de todos los tiempos. Espero de verdad que esto ayude a la gente a respetar el espiritu de los comics y principalmente de los mas vendidos, como ha sido la saga de "La Muerte de Superman"... mejor compren el comic, sera mas economico... y en verdad lo disfrutaran.

When a Superman dies...
The first in a line of straight to DVD animated features adapted from classic DC stories, Superman: Doomsday re-tells the much maligned Death of Superman saga from the early 90's in animated form, and despite what many of the negative reviews here say otherwise, it works. The Man of Steel (voiced by Serenity's Adam Baldwin) is in love with Lois Lane (voiced quite stiffly by Anne Heche) and both are enjoying their relationship, until his world is rocked by the arrival of the murderous creature Doomsday, who is inadvertantly let loose by Lex Luthor (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's James "Spike" Marsters). If you've read the comics, you know what happens next, but the animated feature wisely ignores the Reign of the Supermen part of the arc, in place of an imposter created by Luthor, which results in an apocalyptic showdown. Being the first in a line of newly animated features, don't go into this expecting something among the lines of the DC animated series' that had come before it. The animation itself looks similar to what we've seen before (veteran animator Bruce Timm is heavily involved here), but the tone is noticibly different. The voice acting is solid (Marsters is magnificent as Luthor, while Baldwin is servicable as Superman) and the action is nicely orchestrated as well, all of which makes Superman: Doomsday an animated treat. This new two-disc edition has a few new features, including episodes from the underrated 90's Superman animated series, but there isn't anything else here that really warrants getting double-dipped for.

Great Idea, Bad Execution
The animation is very similiar to the justice league dvd. I thought this would be very similiar to the comic but it wasn't even close, and it was a summarized version of the comics. It didn't even involve the other supermen...
It wouldn't be bad if i hadn't read the comics, which i suggest over this...
