Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

"Superman/Batman Apocalypse" is yet another winner from DC Animation. Good story, great chemistry between all the characters, lots of action/fights & pretty good animation. The story takes place after the events of the excellent "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies". I wish I could go into specifics on how S/B Apocalypse starts out but it would give away the ending of S/B PE. A meteor crashes in Gotham Harbor & of course Bats checks it out. It is a ship with strange writings on it. After many awesome mishaps, it is discovered that the lone occupant of said spacecraft is none other than Superman's cousin from Krypton who is confused, scared & highly destructive. Superman of course wants to give her a chance, Batman doesn't trust her & smells trouble. Now before any of you here start to think " Oh great, a Barbie movie with Supergirl" let me reassure you, it's definitely not. She's never even referred to once as "Supergirl" during the course of the film. Wonder Woman, Darkseid & yes, even Doomsday make significant appearances in the film (especially Darkseid who has his own evil designs for the cousin of Superman). Overall: a 8/10 & one definitely worth checking out even for casual fans.

Nice teamup of Superman & Batman vs Apocalypse. The plot is OK, the action scenes are well-written, and the characters are well-voiced and their actions stay true to their...well, their characters. Superman is the well-meaning boy scout, Batman is the dark, gritty enforcer. The animation is decent for American classic cartoon animation. The best new-school animation I've seen of American productions is the motion-comics style presented in The Astonishing X-men and Iron Man Extremis.

The only negative stuff was a little cheesy dialogue and a flat Summer Glau. Otherwise, pretty decent pace to the story and action, and a good finish.

How the hell did this only get 7.0 rating on IMDb??? This was infinitely better than "Green Lantern: First Flight" and "Wonder woman" (2009) and they got 7.2 ratings. Critics just do not make sense that's what i've found out through my many years of watching movies and series. Do not ever trust critics.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse i'm guessing is the continuation to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies since this happens after the latter film's events. I personally liked this movie. There were loads of entertaining parts and for that matter iconic parts throughout the movie. I liked the fight scenes between the different characters, the story and Darkseid was pretty amazingly done in this (despite them nerfing? Him a bit). There's not much else to say, this was much better than what people have rated it, although not perfect by any means.

Honestly, an average movie, a good story, but the narration was a bit fast, the characters were mostly average, except for Batman of course, the voice acting of Darkseid was not good, the drawing and the soundtrack are good. A good movie that's all there is to it.

Of all the animated feature length superhero-movies I have seen lately, this has got the best fighting "choreography". You clearly see what is happening, the timing is good, you feel the impacts. It was just very entertaining. Very well done action.

Not loving the look of Supermans and Batmans face in this one, they look a little douchy. I liked their faces in Justice League: War, better. This is just personal taste of course. But a review is personal, right..?

Anyhow, the movies is really good. Good action, and not boring in the slower parts. Most of the drama works well too. I'm really impressed by these animated superhero features, they are well written, and really entertaining.

And again, the real star of this movie is the action and fighting. Very good indeed!
