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.

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.

Glad to finally have a decent representation of Superman back in the adaptations. The New 52 movie universe... I don't know what that was, but it didn't work.

And this should be required viewing for Zack Snyder and his sycophant fanboys. If they don't like this version of Superman, then they don't like Superman. There are plenty of grim and gritty edgelord j.o. Fantasies out there to get into, don't ruin Superman by trying to make him one of them.

Seems like a pointless story. It focuses on the beginning how he started how he introduced him self to the world. It feels pointless everything being well known. The graphics are OK the style is just OK. The battles are simple not extravagance. The pacing is OK not boring but not edge seating. All in all it is an OK movie with i do not see the point of other than is a cartoon aimed for kids.

Just when I thought that this would be a nice start for a reboot, things turn out to be quite different. But first of all I really like the art style for the movie but the story overall is just way too plain(Especially the climatic moment)and the characterization felt empty. It's definitelynot as impressive as Batman Year One and it's a really boring Superman origin movie. Overall, Superman Man of Tomorrow is no doubt another easily forgettable DC animated movie.
