Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Eddie Cantillo Superman/Batman: Apocalypse(2010) Starring: Summer Glau, Ed Asner, Tim Daly, Andre Braugher, Kevin Conroy, and Susan Eisenberg Written By: Tab Murphy Directed By: Lauren Montgomery Review THE END IS NEAR. I'm hoping that the second half of Justice League is a little bit like this, because it would be so cool to see Supergirl on the big screen with all the other JL members like Flash, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman. Because for those of you know me, she is my second favorite DC character right after the big kryptonian himself, Superman. Batman discovers a mysterious teen-aged girl with superhuman powers and a connection to Superman. When the girl comes to the attention of Darkseid, the evil overlord of Apokolips, events take a decidedly dangerous turn. The only complaint is that since this is the first animated movie on Supergirl that she would have been explored a little more. But other than that I like what they did with her and I liked how she was portrayed. As you know I don't talk much about these animated films, so i'm just going to end the review by saying I give this a four and a half out of five.
Shawn Watson With so many Warner Premier animations coming out these days it is especially hard to keep up with them all. Superman/Batman: Apocalypse follows on from their Public Enemies team-up in 2009. Supes has his name come first in the title as this is primarily his story with Batman playing sidekick.The movie opens with a meteor splashing into Gotham Harbor and causing untold damage and misery to boat owners and businesses around the water. Batman investigates and is surprised to find naked, pretty Kara Zor-El (that would be Supergirl) has arrived on Earth with not much recollection of what happened.Her cousin Superman takes her in and promises to teach her how to use her powers correctly on Earth. Kara just wants to be an ordinary girl and Supes is happy to spoil her. Too bad that Darkseid, in the Apokolips realm (or whatever it is) has sinister plans for her and temps her into corruption with promises of almighty power.As soon as Bats, Supes, Wonder Woman, and that other tall girl go after her things go downhill. I suppose it's a lot like the first Thor movie in that regard (I never bothered with the second one) - the scenes set on Earth were fun and entertaining, but all of the gibberish on Asgard bored me to tears. This DC effort is no different. Watching Kara try to fit in on Earth is nice, but last third in the Apokolips realm is tedious and repetitive, and then it carries on into Smallville too. Someone smashes into a building, they hit back and someone else smashes into another building, then they hit back and the first person smashes into a building again. I'd love to see the scripts for these comic book movies, it must be the same words printed over and over. Thankfully, the 9/11 porn of tumbling skyscrapers seen in abundance in Man of Steel (and far too many others) is absent here.The movie was surprisingly violent in some scenes too. It is by no means a bad entry in the Bruce Timm DC universe, just a little derivative.
Rectangular_businessman For a direct-to-video movie, this was pretty decent: The designs and the animation were pretty well done, and the plot was entertaining enough, from my point of view: In many ways, I think that this was much better than the previous film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, which had a rushed story and an unconvincing artwork (From my taste, at least. Personally I prefer the art style used in films like this or in the animated adaptation of the comic "Batman: Year One")My only complaint about this movie is the pace: Every single event that takes place in this movie happens just way too fast, something that gives the feeling that some scenes from this film were underdeveloped, without exploiting all the potential that many plot points could have. 78 minutes weren't just enough time to tell the whole story properly. Anyway, even when this isn't the best DC animated movie, it is still a pretty good one (But that could have been much better)Overall, I consider it a worth-watching experienceMy score:6.5/10
Neil Welch Superman/Batman: Apocalypse adapts Jeph Loeb's comic arc into an animated movie - a mysterious super-powered young woman crash lands on Earth claiming to be Superman's cousin: Batman doesn't trust her, Wonder Woman undertakes her training, and Darkseid seeks to recruit her.This entertaining and action-packed yarn adapts well to movie status. Character design is fairly slick and animation is well executed. Voice casting draws heavily on previously established voice characterisations from the Justice League TV series (it is pleasing to hear Kevin Conroy's Batman again, and Ed Asner's Granny Goodness...). Of the new voices, Summer Glau does well as Kara, although I was less taken with Andre Braugher's Darkseid.In terms of execution, my only criticism derives from the fundamentals of the characters involved: the extensive fight sequences between Superman, Kara and Darkseid essentially don't go anywhere, because the characters are evenly matched in terms of powers and, importantly, vulnerability - no matter how massively Superman bashed Darkseid (or vice versa), the bashed one is going to get up and walk away. The fight sequences therefore don't actually achieve anything of importance, lose dramatic tension, and go on far too long.Other than that, this is a good addition to DC's animated library.
