Following this, decides to initiate a series of tasks to take advantage of last year. First he admits that Lois Lane and Clark Kent are the same person, although she is not convinced. It also tries to understand his arch enemy Lex Luthor, who is also sentenced to death and all, is tested against several enemies inside and outside the planet.
Comments
I think I can define this film as a good attempt, but falls short in comparison to the wonderful material that is based. If you want to see the full history of All Star Superman, take this film as a 75-minute shopping and find the 12 numbers. They will not regret it, especially if they claim to be fans of Superman.
Personally I like the character of Superman, but I like Clark Kent. To me, Clark is what makes Superman a character accessible and interesting, because I get tired very quickly of the quasi divine hyper powerful muscle mass and nearly indestructible to which many writers and even fans tend to reduce the character.
Superman is a Christ alien with muscles that fight epic battles against more powerful enemies in the universe. Cool ... but also has a life on Earth. He was raised as a Midwest farmer. He has a job as a reporter and the unattainable love of Lois Lane. Clark frankly to me is the fascinating character who represents the humanity of Superman.
And that's just what I like the way Morrison wrote it. The guy does soles to feed a giant space squid, weighing keys makes mega tonnes from dwarf stars and may find the cure for cancer. But still the Smallville same Boy Scout who was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent. Some of it stayed in the movie, and I must say that the voice of Denton stay cool. This Superman feels that a human and can relate to.
other hand this film has the best Lex Luthor that seen in the DC Comics animated films. Anthony LaPaglia's voice fits perfectly with the character, who often steals the show with his sarcasm and his stylish arrogance. Definitely for me is the best character in the film.
But despite these successes, I think this movie is far from being the best in the DC Universe. And the truth is left out many things that ultimately do not allow people to understand and live the end with the grandeur and excitement that is in the comics.
This is an epic story, like any good story of Greek mythology on a semi divine being just the greatest feats that you can imagine. In the comic you can feel it ... it is a true science fiction opera. The film is not ... left out or change the key moments of comic books as Superman's visit back to look for the last time his father was alive or his way through the bizarre world.
The film tries to represent other key moments in the comics, but fails to link them effectively, and eventually lost to the end that everything takes a little sense, but just leave that feeling that could have been better.
As the third most important character in the story, Lois Lane, the truth is that Christina Hendricks did not convince me. He started well but gradually the story was moving and towards the end his reaction to the events feel forced. The Truth in Superman comics and his relationship with Clark is also very ambiguous ... not finished out of the stereotype of cold and unapproachable who loves Superman and Clark despises ... but Morrison is forgiven the fact that trying to make a Superman Silver age, where Lois had not yet matured enough to see beyond the lens of Clark.
For action and fighting, the film okay, but not spectacular as Superman / Batman Apocalypse.
Finally, I reiterate that it was a good attempt, but fell well short in relation to the original material for the first time it appears that DC sinned by not giving him enough time to film, or maybe the format, because I think working animated shorts on each of the numbers or at least the most important would be a better way to adapt the story.
