Superman Doomsday

Superman: Doomsday is a 2007 American direct-to-video animated superhero film, adapted from the DC Comics storyline "The Death of Superman" which focuses on the death and return of the superhero Superman.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This film is a fine example of padding. In fact, most of the film focuses on other characters than Superman, who dies in the first act and is forgotten until the climax.
 * 2) It also escalates too quickly into other events such as Superman's death and then return.
 * 3) Jimmy, a character that the film focuses on, is a pointless know-it-all character when in reality, he's a minor character.
 * 4) Misleading title: The main villain is really Lex Luthor, not Doomsday.
 * 5) Speaking of Doomsday, his design and appearance is horrible and overall weak compared to his comic counterpart and his DC animated series counterpart.
 * 6) Poor grasp from the source material:
 * 7) The Justice League, Supergirl, the Eradicator, Cyborg Superman, Steel and Superboy don't appear from said "Death of Superman" story arc found from the comics.
 * 8) Superman and Doomsday fight in a the outskirts of Metropolis instead of the Daily Planet.
 * 9) Superman only defeats Doomsday by pulling him down to the ground, than punching each other.
 * 10) Doomsday wears green shorts instead of having a containment suit to hide his monstrous identity.
 * 11) Lex Luthor creates a clone of Superman replacing Cyborg Superman from the comics.
 * 12) Jonathan Kent does not appear from the comic and is dead in the movie.
 * 13) After Superman dies, the film gets extremely boring and stays that way until a resurrected real Superman fights Dark Superman, a clone of him by Lex Luthor.
 * 14) Dark Superman is a hypocritical "hero" who is an aformentioned clone of the original Superman that wants to save Metropolis, but yet commits numerous crimes (such as murdering one of his fellow enemies Toyman) that endanger the city even more.
 * 15) Terrible dialogue. For instance, Lex Luthor says "Red and green are the colors of Christmas, and you're on the naughty list!"
 * 16) The voice actors sound like they don't want to be in this movie.
 * 17) The CGI on the planes is mediocre in traditional animation standards.

Good Qualities

 * 1) mh:greatestmovies:The Death of Superman did a way better job on handling the Death of Superman storyline.
 * 2) The fights, such as Superman vs. Doomsday and Superman vs. Dark Superman, are awesome.
 * 3) Decent animation.
 * 4) It was the first of the DC Original Animated Movies.
