Superman: Man of Tomorrow

Well, truth be told, I can't really claim to have been much overly excited when I sat down to watch this 2020 animated "Superman" movie. Why? Well, it is a superhero movie, and I am really overly keen on those. But still, two things made me sit down to watch "Superman: Man of Tomorrow". First of all, I hadn't already seen it, and I do like to watch movies I haven't already seen. And secondly, it had Lobo in it!

Now, I will say that the storyline actually turned out to be good. I was enjoying it, for sure. But truth be told, why do we need another alternate origins story to Clark Kent and Superman? Haven't there been enough of those made already? To me, it grows tiresome when they keep re-writing origins stories for characters.

It should be said that they had a good ensemble of voice actors and actresses brought in for this animated movie. And that is a very important aspect for an animated movie's success; having the right voice cast. I was very thrilled to know that it was Ryan Hurst adding his rough voice to Lobo, because that was just a superb fit.

The animation style in "Superman: Man of Tomorrow" was adequate, although it bordered on being a bit too edgy at times. I mean, the style of drawing, not the way it was presented. Of course, this is a matter of personal preference. It was good, but I prefer a bit more smooth art style for animated movies.

"Superman: Man of Tomorrow" will definitely please fans of the DC universe, I believe that much, and it was actually well-worth sitting down to watch.

My rating of the 2020 "Superman: Man of Tomorrow" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Through and through this movie actually captured the essence of Superman. Any comic book fan will enjoy this movie, because this movie shows the director did his research. I wondered how putting multiple antagonists in this movie would work, but wow they actually were able to make this work right down to the ending. The animation is stellar and if anything comes from this movie, please at the very least be the animation style. The previous DCAU was fine but this one just blows it away by a mile. I will say that if you've seen Justice League Dark Apokolips War and SOMEHOW liked it, well you won't like this. There is death in this, but it's not just for the sake of ending a whole universe. I'll finish by saying again this movie NAILED Superman and would be the perfect opener for the next universe because it knows what DC stands for.

I have never seen such a bored film of SUPERMAN in animated movies. I like the style of drawing, but I don't like the story neither like the way SUPERMAN is represented. I'm worried about seeing what bad hands SUPERMAN is in. People that have the rights of SUPERMAN dont respect him.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow is a great change for DC animated movies whilst also being a solid Superman origin story, although it would have benefited from a longer run time. Darren Criss gives a great lead performance, Ryan Hurst is perfect and Zachary Quinto, Alexandra Daddario and Ike Amadi are all really good. The animation is great and much better than the usual style. Chris Palmer's direction is really good and the music by Kevin Riepl is good.

At the beginning, when Clark is crying because of the alien movie. That set the tone for the rest of the movie and to me, it didn't disappoint. It was a bit in your face about humanity but sometimes it needs to be that way. Lois Lane, is always the star in every one of her appearance. It shows her as someone hungry to discover the truth and keeping people informed but also she's so sure of herself, an icon. I like the few interactions we got between them. I hope we get more movies in this universe.
