The 76-minute "All-Star Superman" synthesizes the famous 12-issue mini-series by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely. Their take embraces the pulp fun of golden age Superman with a modern grace and a mythic dimension. Go to Full Review

Han P Jan 25, 2019 Does an adequate job at adapting one of the best Superman stories of all time. I would of liked a little more attention dedicated towards the animation. The charm of the comic comes out here, but there's a lot they left out making this feature feel constricted in the story it can tell. Unfortunately it takes the safe route in most cases leaving some of the best of what this story has to offer on the pages. Still a very fun ride in the impressive DC Animated film collection.

Ron R Jun 2, 2018 This movie does tend to go all over the place, but it still entertained me quite a bit. It isn't the best of the animated Superman films, but it is still worth your time if you like these things. See more
Kylo W Jan 29, 2018 A bastardisation of one of the greatest comics of all time. It is possible that being a big fan of the comic infinitely ruined this for me but knowing how great it could've been this film is just a pure disappointment. From changing half the lines, cutting some of the best bits, adding COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY sections and all in all completely destroying one of the best depictions of superman and in general best stories ever this film was painful to watch. Of course this is from the perspective of having read the comic. I'm sure this film might work to some degree for those who haven't read it and the animation is decent, it's not groundbreaking but it's nice, and from what I've briefly gleaned from over reviews it seems some of the good things from the comic did shine through but it just so sickingly disappointing that they were given truly brilliant source material and just decided to crap on it. I'm honestly just shocked they couldn't just make a perfect and memorable adaptation as opposed to this crap they settled for. See more
Rey S Jan 29, 2018 A Superman story outside of the canon that still uses most of the known elements of the character. It's big and audacious, and they truly throw in everything but the kitchen sink, often so much so as to dilute the intent. Nonetheless, a satisfying outing for Man of Steel fans. See more
Dec 14, 2017 This is by far the best Superman ever made. We often get to watch a superhero's Origin story, their journey towards selfless service for others. Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman kicked off every rule to give us the final chapter to Superman's legacy. See more
Draco W Sep 2, 2017 Terrible dc animated film.
