Hello guys and gals, I just wanted to start and say I still haven't got any of my books I have ordered, which has really bugged me. I swear as awesome as Hawai'i is I hate the fact that it takes longer for packages to get here compared to places on the mainland. But there's nothing I can do to fix it and I just have to deal with it, though the wait has given me some time to check out some other stuff. So on the subject of other stuff, I have been playing as much DC Online as possible to get to level 30 to give a full review of it, so that should be coming soon. Now on to the main subject of all this, last night I started to reread All-Star Superman and as I was reading it I remember that there was an animated movie coming out in a few days. But luckily I didn't have to wait long, because a few hours later I was given an early viewing of the film. Since I endorsed the All-Star Superman books so highly I think I should give you all a review of the featured film.
Goes without saying that I was a huge fan of All-Star Superman considering how I told everyone to go buy it, well I guess it’s not too weird for me to say that I actually really loved All-Star Superman The Animated Feature. Though I will say right off the bat it isn't as great as its namesake, but it is also great in its own right. I have seen pretty much every animated show and film that Bruce Timm has worked on and I have loved them to death, Batman the Animated series being one of my most loved shows. But I have to say that in my own opinion this movie is one of the best animated feature films Bruce Timm has ever worked on. There is so much I can say that's positive about this film but I would like to give the few negative's first. For one thing if you are like myself and have read All-Star Superman then you will notice quite quickly that there are some moments completely taken out of the movie. For example *spoilers I'm sorry* In the book's young superman is visited by a team of Superman from different times, known as the Superman squad, this part with the Superman Squad is also the point where Clark's father Jonathan Kent dies, and not to give it all away it is a part of Superman's great trial's before he dies.*end of spoilers* The problem I have with this taken out is that it was a really good emotional scene with Superman, but in the movie it is kind of a second thought.
Honestly that is pretty much the only flaw I had on the film, because it had too much greatness in it, for one thing the DCU animated films always get a great cast of voice actors, like having *in my opinion the true voice of Batman* Kevin Conroy as Batman, and even big name stars like James Woods. So it’s obvious that once again we will get a good voice cast, but I was amazed how great these voices were and how they really made me believe they were who they were playing, not just hearing a famous guys voice playing Lex Luthor, but having the voice truly make you believe he is Lex. All around the voice cast was amazing, and to go along with that the music was also really well done and added so much to this movie and gave it a lot more emotion to it. In the end all I can say is if you’re a fan of these books or just a fan of animated movies you really need to take a look at this movie, and hopefully you will have as much fun as I had with it.
