HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY FROM DVDTALK


The direct-to-video feature "Superman: Doomsday" is the first of three scheduled projects that will retool established characters for older fans, intentionally attracting a PG-13 rating and offering up more mature subject matter, to be released not through Warner Family Entertainment, but through the studio's new Warner Premiere division. It sounds like a good idea: allow the well-respected creative team-up of Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics the chance to branch out into more complex subject matter, unhindered by the limitations that come with making children's programming. Unfortunately, aside from a very few admirable yet limited exceptions, "Doomsday" doesn't do much with the opportunity at all, while its story disintegrates into such an outright mess that the film ultimately becomes the first all-out flop for the Warner/DC team. (Sure, you can argue that last year's "Superman: Braniac Attacks" was a failure, but that effort was merely forgettable, while "Doomsday" is straight-up bad.) "Doomsday" is Warner/DC's long-awaited attempt to bring the "Death (and Return) of Superman" storyline to the screen. But how do you cram a story that stretched over 38 comic book issues into a movie that runs under 80 minutes? Not very well, apparently. For starters, you know you're in trouble when one of your two title characters is only in a third of your movie - and it's the wrong third. To call your movie "Superman: Doomsday" implies that we'll be dealing entirely with the Doomsday portion of the "Death of Superman" saga, either leaving the "Return of Superman" angle for another film or whipping up some new, non-death ending. (Spoiler alert! In "Death of Superman," Superman died. Go figure!) And what a great film that could have been, with a long, slow build-up to archvillain/megabeast Doomsday's eventual arrival, the entire third act devoted to the mammoth battle between titans. The filmmakers could have even killed off Supes in the end, only to follow with a sequel bringing him back. Instead, we get a movie that wants to squeeze in the whole affair, from "Death" to "Return," but without expanding the running time to fit. This means: Doomsday's arrival is rushed, with very little impact on the viewer; the Superman/Doomsday battle, while impressive, is over all too early, essentially deleting the title character from his own movie; the rush to get on with the funeral and return means Doomsday's defeat is utterly unexplained (he just sort of disappears completely after he's punched out, and the very notion of mentioning what happened to him - or that he even mattered to the storyline! - is forgotten within thirty seconds); the remaining too-tight running time means the "Return" storyline must be massively condensed in all the wrong ways, leaving us bored and frustrated with the mess on hand. (It should also be noted that for all those efforts to tweak the story for movie form, the producers remain too faithful to the parts of the story that don't work. As in: Mullet Superman. Really, Warner Animation? Really?)
