Brian Lowry CNN.com What Red Son does, in an effective and perhaps unexpectedly timely way, is consider the extent the flag to which one pledges allegiance defines and shapes the man. Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Courtney Lanning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Superman: Red Son isn't a bad film. It's just a strange spectacle with a bit of uneven pacing and muddled messaging. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast Thought-provoking. ... The ironies of an unequal [Super]man promoting equality is very interesting. ... One of the more compelling DC animated films. Rated: 4/5 Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof Its greatest sin is its excessive simplification that ends up undermining the stimulating original material from Mark Millar. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Violence, cursing, smoking in "Soviet Superman" reimagining. Rated: 3/5 May 15, 2020 Full Review Terence Johnson Le Noir Auteur Not only is this a good film, it's also a superlative adaptation of the source material, being both more brutal and less foolish than the (very good) comic it is based on.

Anderson O Super-man Red Son is a adaption of Superman I never thought I would see in live action or animation. A gripping alternate version of what if super-man was born in Soviet Union Russia, and was raised in the geopolitical debate of Socialism and Capitalism with the U.S. as well as seeing the Gulags for what they really where in The U.S.S.R. Possibly the Greatest Super-man Tale Close to a reality we thought we never need in the time of its release that’s very relevant to the time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Aaron K Really enjoyed this movie. Had me glued too the screen! And a tad bit emotional lol Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Antônia maura M Esse filme eu acho ele até que bem legal já que ele e uma boa adaptação o único problema desse filme e que o Superman parece que virou o Superman maluco de Injustice e também a animação que eu acho que não ficou muito boa mais ainda não e ruim demais gosto muito do estilo de como eles vão avançando no tempo então acho uma boa nota para ele Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Hal N Silly and goofy :) Recommend watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Andrius Y Una gran adaptación de superman siendo criado en otro país acogido por su gobierno ,superman aun con sus principios morales establecidos en su subconsciente pensando que todo lo que hacia lo hacia por el bien de su gente y de la humanidad que al saber que no es así conociendo la parte mas oscura de la humanidad intenta hacer lo posible para imponer el bien casi a cualquier costo fracasando en su intento que al final lo hace razonar y dejando un buen mensaje; entretenida ,seria ,con una excelente animación y producción eso es SUPERMAN RED SON. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Addison S Very underrated. The idea of Superman being raised in The Soviet Union was a cool concept.
