Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

betina-18954 This one seems to either be really loved, or really not liked. Either way, i love it. One of my favorites. Let's see why.The story is about this weird bullet car, that blows right through the police department, leaving an explosion in its wake. The many newspapers, including the Daily Planet, of course reports about it. Perry White calls Lois Lane and Clark Kent into his office. Just as he is explaining the report, the sound of a loudspeaker comes in through the window. The leader of the "Bulleteers", as Lois later calls them, is shown announcing from his hideout atop a mountain outside of town, that if the city doesn't turn over the entire city treasury, other municipal buildings will be next as their last warning! Everyone of course, hears it, but the mayor announces that he will not be swayed by criminals. That day, policemen all over town setup sandbag fortifications for their machine guns and searchlights in preparation for the Bulleteers. At midnight, the gang strikes again, first destroying the town's power plant, bullets from defending policeman bouncing harmlessly off the bullet-car's sleek surface. Lights in the Daily Planet flicker on and off, and Lois, wanting the story of course, takes off in a car to get closer to the scene, leaving Clark behind. And it's now up to Superman to save the day.So even though this one is one of my favorites. It still has a few flaws. First of all, there doesn't seem to be many people who have noticed this, but this cartoon use recycled animation from The Mechanical Monsters, and Billion Dollar Limited, a few times. But this is just a nitpick. I also think the Bullet car is very lamely designed. And while all the previous installments brought something new to the screen. This one has a very average plot. And this is not really a flaw, but why have 3 men in one bullet car? Couldn't they have had 3 of these bullet cars, one for each man. that would be awesome! However, most of this is just nitpicking, and like i said, this is one of my favorite Superman cartoons. Although the bullet car is very lamely designed, the mountain hideout makes up for that, and it's really cool and original for it's time. And the animation that's not recycled, is great as usual. I also really like the scene where Lois sneaks into the bullet car's cockpit and tries to smash the controls with a wrench. That's one of her more heroic and useful moments in the series. But the best thing about this one, like all of these cartoons, is the action. Infact i think this one has some of the best action scenes, in the entire series. And just like Billion Dollar Limited, this one has some of the most fast-past action scenes of this entire series. My favorite scene is when The Bulleteers take aim at the city's treasury building, but Superman punches the bullet-car off course, which make the bullet-car fly off and hit the top of a building. That shit is great!Although this one has a few flaws. It still has some of the best stuff, of this entire series. And that makes this one, one of my favorites. 9/10.

tavm Just watched this, the fifth Superman cartoon from Max and Dave Fleischer, on YouTube. In this one, there's a bullet car that crashes into federal buildings. One of the men goes on the radio ordering a ransom or else. Naturally, Lois goes in to investigate and gets herself kidnapped as a result. So, as usual, Clark Kent turns himself into Superman in order to rescue her. The only unusual thing that happened here is that Supes for once seems defeated when a building falls on him. That only lasts a few minutes though so it's business as usual in these series of shorts. So on that note, this wasn't as entertaining as the first four but there's still some interest in seeing how the animators keep things moving with more realistic illustrations as opposed to the more usual cartoony images they're used to. So that's a partial recommendation of The Bulleteers.

Michael_Elliott Bulleteers, The (1942)** (out of 4) A maniac scientist creates a "bullet car", which is pretty much just what it sounds like. Criminals can drive this car, which flies like a bullet, into any building and knock it down. Naturally Lois finds herself trapped by the bad guys and only Superman can save her. I'm new to this series and watching them in the order that they were released and there's no question, even only five shorts in, that they all follow the same plot outline with just a new villain added. The build up is always the same as is the way Lois gets herself involved. With that said, this short was pretty boring from start to reason. One reason is that I was disappointed with the animation, which wasn't anything to write home about. Another reason was the actual story because it just wasn't that good or entertaining. The villain was the biggest problem because it too didn't add any excitement.

Ron Oliver A SUPERMAN CartoonThree evil inventors have developed a fantastic `bullet car' - shaped like a rocket, it can fly and destroy any building by simply crashing through it. After smashing the Metropolis Police Headquarters, the extortionists demand a huge payment, which the mayor refuses to pay. In fury, the bullet car begins the destruction of the city. With intrepid reporter Lois Lane now a prisoner of the villains, can the Man of Steel possibly stop the incredible technology in the hands of THE BULLETEERS?This was another in the series of excellent cartoons Max Fleischer produced for Paramount Studio. They feature great animation and taut, fast-moving plots. Meant to be shown in movie theaters, they are miles ahead of their Saturday Morning counterparts.
