Audience Member Not as good or detailed as the first film but still pretty good. It would have been better had they followed the comic book more closely. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/21 Full Review Audience Member One of the best animated superhero movies Ive ever seen. 10/1/20 Totally worth a rewatch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/20 Full Review Audience Member A pretty good reimagining of the story and packed into a nearly 3 hour movie. Set in the New52 universe/timeline, it does everything it needs to to be a complete story. It suffers only due to the grand scope of the story being a bit more than should be in a single movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I think Wikipedia says this is just an edit of two different movies, The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen. I haven't seen either, but this abomination is a disservice to them. The audio isn't normalized and totally inconsistent. The story is confusing and difficult to follow. There are so many plot holes that I've given up and just fast forwarded to the ending. It makes no sense. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Oct 2019 - No matter how many times this story is recycled I keep coming back for more Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/19 Full Review Audience Member The Death of Superman / Reign of the Supermen Double Feature This is literally the combined film of The Death of Superman and Reign of Supermen into one movie But I watched it none the less with the combination of both cinemat into one it made things a lot easy to remember, characters in The Death of Superman, the astronaut is / was made a lot more sense then trying to remember him after watching one and then the other after a few years. Grant it, I could have gone back and watch both films one after the other but this combination made it easier. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/19 Full Review Read all reviews
