All-Star Superman [2011]


Plot: Lex Luthor enacts his plan to rid the world of Superman, once and for all. Succeeding with solar radiation poisoning, the Man of Steel is slowly dying. With what little time remains, the Last Son of Krypton must confront the revealing of his secret identity to Lois Lane and face Luthor in a final battle.

All Star Superman is a mix of fast paced stories told in one movie which will keep you entertained  if your a Superman fan and know the story of superman and his villains but can be a bit confusing for the casual movie watcher. The graphics are good but not superb in which today's technology with animation would lead us to believe that it should be. The story is good and predictable which most Superman movies are but its all put together well for one who knows his history on Superman.

Lex Luthor is portrayed very well in this movie as Superman's greatest arch-enemy and it seems that from the beginning of the movie he seems to pull off what he always wanted to do which is kill Superman in this case send him on a mission to the sun which Superman gets to close to and ends up finding out he is slowly dying from the. The sun which gives Superman his powers has now turned on him and is slowly killing him, where Superman finds this out he feels that he needs to tie up some loose ends especially with Lois Lane.

This is the heart of the story as Lois Lane gets a gift from Superman on her birthday which gives her his powers for 24 hours, this leads to them having a date and a love story during the movie. Some of the stuff that happens seems a bit silly but nonetheless gives the movie a good storyline.

I do feel though some of the stuff could have been better such as the graphics and the storyline (eg. some stuff left out as it was not necessary to put them in). Overall I would say this is a good movie to watch for anyone that loves Superman and his story and especially for Superman geeks :).

Rate: 7/10
