This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This movie completely ignores the original series as well as the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series to come up with a badly written story that completely rewrites Lex Luthor's and Brainiac's personalities.Clancey Brown is SORELY missed, Booth Power's is horrible.Lex Luthor is a buffoon and Brainaic has been changed from calculated computer into a 2 dimensional 2-bit super villain.The only good thing about this film is they got rid of Jimmy Olsen's mullet.Step 1 when writing a story set in pre-existing continuity, research said continuity.

Does the WB really believe as Kevin Smith has said, that their only goal is to sell toys? First off then they should have made better toys from the Superman movie, most of the new ones bite, but even worst was the audacity to make this film.It was nice to have Tim Daly back on cast, and the Clark - Lois, Superman - Lois relationship was handled well, but who agreed to recast all the other voices??? Don't get me long, I'm a fan of Tara Strongs work, but she missed the Mercy role big time. And Brainic sounded, well kind a sad , but Worste of all (the movie destroyer) was a recast of Lex Luther from Clancy Brown to Powers Boothe. I mean he does a good job on Grodd, but as Luther??? He obviously ad-libs the dialog making Luther into some kind of sad Metrosexual idiot. "let's have a Luah" when he believes Superman to be dead for instance, Lex would never suggest such a thing. He would be more like, "Send the Planet and Miss Lane my deepest regrets and get my Causal Suit ready, we will need to throw a party to unveil my newest plan." If you are a Lex Luther fan, this movie will make you cry in embarrassment.

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.

Although I'm a college educated adult, I actually like the Superman, Batman and Justice League cartoon series (I'm sure I'm far from alone on this one). The plots have been excellent examples of sci-fi writing and can be quite clever,complex and entertaining. Not so this one. The vast majority of this movie consisted of Superman and Braniac pounding each other into the ground, throwing each other through buildings, etc. The encounters went on for so long I got bored and fastforwarded through the monotony. There is a weak plot that holds this together, but it's not strong enough to redeem it. The phrase "phoning it in" leaps to mind. If you're a Superman fan, you're going to be disappointed in this.
