Wordiezett So much average

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

adonis98-743-186503 I've read most of the reviews here and 90% of them are actually saying that this film destroyed the Animated Series and it's a disgrace to Superman fans. I have to disagree on that even tho i'm not the biggest Superman fan ever i still thought this movie was pretty cool the only thing that bagged me was Brainiac which i loved his look and this film destroyed it completely i mean he looked more like Robocain from Robocop 2 instead of Brainiac other than that i had fun with it and i thought it was pretty cool although i have to agree that the Animated Series was 10 times better if i had to pick my favorite Superman film then that has to be Superman: Doomsday but this one was also pretty good but definitely not my favorite.

berg-27 I've been away from the board for a while so bear with me.I was never really a superman fan but I saw the movie two nights ago and I new who superman was and stuff and I thought it was a fairly well done movie.I really liked to part where clerk and Lois are at the resteraunt and when she "findes out" that Clark is superman The quotes are to establish the question, you'll have 2 see the movie to find out what I meant.I grew up watching Batman mostly but superman is starting to grow on me.

voicemaster71 I bought this on it's release day and it wasn't until this morning that I finally had time to pop it in the DVD player and finally view it.At long last, Superman: The Animated Series finally gets a direct to video animated movie to line up on your shelves with 3 Batman, 1 Batman Beyond, and 1 Justice League movies. It was refreshing to hear Tim Daly back as the voice of Superman/Clark Kent as well as Dana Delaney as Lois Lane, David Kauffman as Jimmy Olsen, George Dzunda as Perry White, and Mike Farrell and Shelly Fabares as Jonathan and Martha Kent. The animation is the same if not better. The emotions Clark struggles with about his feelings for Lois as well as the drama with her injury and near death experience with everyone involved was well done. And guess what!! Those are the ONLY good points of Superman: Brainiac Attacks. As we all know, Superman III directed by Richard Lester marked the beginning of destruction with the Superman movie franchise. But it was Superman IV: The Quest For Peace directed by Sydney Furie and produced by Golan Globus that killed the Superman movie franchise in the 80's. Well, history repeats itself in the animated world. The fact that the animation style is the same plus having the original voice cast of Superman, his Daily Planet colleagues, and his parents are merely a mirage to get you to buy or watch this abomination animation. Superman: Brainiac Attacks was nothing more than WB's move to cash in on the upcoming Superman Returns movie. The creative team that brought Superman: The Animated Series to life (not to mention Batman, Batman Beyond, Justice League and JLU)namely, Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Dan Riba, James Tucker, Glen Muriaki, voice director Andrea Romano, and music composer Shirley Walker were NOT involved with this animated movie. The only familiar name is the director, Curt Geda, who directed the Timmverse episodes of our heroes. This was obviously why the voices of Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and Mercy Graves were all poorly miscast and recast. The head writer is Duane Capizzi, writer of the new Batman cartoon on the WB. In an interview, he said it was deliberately decided not to have this movie in continuity with Superman: The Animated Series or JLU and it was intended for Lex Luthor to be an idiotic comical buffoon like the Gene Hackman (and I guess Kevin Spacey) portrayal. If this movie had a new animation style and new character designs, I might have accepted that, but to take this version of Lex, who was the epitome of corporate evil played by Clancy Brown and turn him into what Powers Boothe portrayed was totally unacceptable. I like Powers Boothe as Gorilla Grodd on JLU, but not as Lex Luthor. Lance Henrickson totally sucked as Brainiac. I truly miss Corey Burton as the cold as steel characterization. Plus, I preferred Brainiac addressing Superman as Kal El rather than Son of Krypton.And then, there's Mercy Graves. After seeing her as a long haired beautiful honcho of Lexcorp on JLU, we see her back in her original title as Lex's right hand aide, but now she's a blonde and she's more feminine voiced over by Tara Strong (Batgirl and Raven from the Teen Titans) as opposed to the tougher than nails version by Lisa Edelstein.Superman: Braniac Attacks has no real intro. This new joker that scored the music for this movie had no real theme. The music was rather odd. And my final gripe: even though the main cast that was there did a good job, the writing was sooo pathetic, that Tim Daly, Dana Delaney, and the regular cast all sounded off of their roles by a slight tad. It seems like the WB has gone back to making these DC Super Hero shows for kids ages 5 - 12 only and "to hell with the older fans."If you're thinking about buying Superman: Brainiac Attacks: only buy it if your kids are very young and are Superman fans or if you yourself are a series completionist like myself. Otherwise, just rent it or avoid it altogether. It's just not worth it. Like it's live action predecessor, Superman IV, Superman: Braninac Attacks is a Super Franchise killer. Two Thumbs Down!!

stargazer_1682 What do you get when you merge Grodd, The Joker and Lex Luthor? Lex in Brainiac attack's; a man with Grodd's voice, Lex's body and Joker's bad sense of humor. Maybe they were trying to channel Gene Hackman's version of Lex, but it doesn't work; largely because this Lex is already well established as a dry, conservative business man and this Lex comes off as something of a caricature of that character. But I gotta admit, I laughed when Superman comes back, everyone screams out, "It's Superman" and Lex whimpers, "yay" At first I was going to say I was disappointed with his trip to the phantom zone, getting what he needed and heading back so quickly and without any trouble. I don't know why I was fooled, maybe it was underestimating the writing ability of the people behind this movie. All in all, it wasn't really bad, in some places it could have been better though. Especially where the villains were concerned, they seemed to have the old school mentality, with views of world domination, maniacal laughing and throwing punches rather than try to out think Superman. I definitely think it was unnecessary to change Brainiac's look. I'm not ungrateful for this installment though. This is still within the same continuity as Superman TAS and the Justice League; and with those regular series over with now, I'm hoping there will be plenty of future movies like this coming out. Maybe with any luck, a Batman movie with Kevin Conroy or Batman/Superman team up. I am disappointed though, that as usual Clark always chickens out, in every incarnation, to tell Lois the truth about his identity. It's like pulling teeth with him and he usually uses the worst logic; namely "Her knowing the truth will only put her in danger from my enemies". Well, guess what champ, she's usually in danger anyway, as you, yourself figured out at the end of this movie.
