Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Some superhero movies descend into a confusing mess of explosions shot by whirling cameras. But here the animation is crisp and clear, making every thump and blown-up building a gripping spectacle. Rated: 4/5 May 3, 2022 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Would I buy it? No, but as a passing experience I'd definitely recommend it. Jun 9, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

matthias s *Superman: Brainiac Attacks* had some hits and misses for me. I love Superman and the comics, so seeing Tim Daly back as the voice of Superman was a treat. The animation style is great too—it really gives off those nostalgic *Animated Series* vibes, which I loved. The story is solid and pretty comic-accurate, but honestly, it was just so boring. It’s one of those plots I’ve seen a million times in the animated series, other movies, or even in the comics. It’s well-made, no doubt, but it just didn’t do anything new or exciting. There’s nothing here that stands out or feels fresh. I’m glad I watched it, though—it’s always nice to revisit Superman—but this is definitely a one-and-done for me. It just didn’t hook me enough to want a rewatch, even though I respect what it brings to the table. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Havering P OMG! The trillions of dollars of collateral damage caused by Superman and Brainiac in this one, just waved away and never commented on, truly unbelievable! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review steve d Surprisingly mature story that captures the feel of the animated series wile doing something new with it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Started off strong with some great voice over talents but fell short with the story and action scenes. There is a good twist near the end of the middle act but it was not good enough to redeem the movie. It felt sluggish and the action at the end seemed boring and monotonous. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member To start, if you're a fan of the franchise you're immediately taken out of it by the voice acting. The substitute voices are far distracting if you're used to the original cast. They make Superman out to be a very, very slow learner and Lex's character has been turned into a complaining child. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Although non-canon despite the pleasant return of a modern animated style and vocal energy, except on how the secondary antagonistic force was portrayed, it's mostly satisfying from the looks of a considered future direction with a thrilling pace that matches a portion of the genre's current taste in action. (B+) (Full review TBD) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
