An emotional and dark Superman story!
Lex Luthor (Anthony Lapaglia) had made a plan to poison Superman (James Denton) with solar radiation as the man-of-steel is dying. He has weeks to live as he must fulfill everything he's always dreamed of including revealing his secret identity to Lois (Christina Hendricks) and must do everything he can to live his life through the weeks of dying for he also must do battle against his old foes besides Lex like Parasite (Michel Gough, Atlas (Steve Blum) and even Samson (John Dimaggio).Nicely done adaptation of Grant Morrison's graphic novel is an emotional and exciting Superman animated adventure and one of the better DC animated movies. The designs are quite different on the characters as if they appeared to look more like Peter "Aeon Flux creator" Chung's designs and i also like how this was the first appearence of Superwoman to appear. The animation is very good and so is the music, there is plenty of great action here and a great ending.This Blu-Ray offers...

Superman in his truest sense, with a credible Lois Lane!
This animated movie captures the essence of Superman, and portrays him as what he was meant to represent in the DC-Comics Universe: the most powerful being on Earth.But not only that, we are shown how Superman connects with the rest of the world. It is not just that he is powerful, but how the people of earth have shaped his character for the best.

They don't accept human beings as equals, but see them as inferiors (or as they say in the movie "apes"). They didn't come to coexist with us, humans, peacefully, and much less help humanity solving critical problems. This situation is heartbreaking for Superman, who in the story hopes these new Kriptonians could take his place (given that he is dying).It is just a great contrast to...

It took me of guard
I never read the comic series of All-Star Superman so I didn't no anything about it except what I saw in the trailers. I saw Public Enemies and Apocalypse, the Superman/Batman team-ups, they were very good. The mood and the action in the story were driven by emotion and that was something I've never seen in a superhero story before, it was true to the character of who Superman is in my mind. It's heart felt, its funny, it has action and romance, its one of the best works from Dewayne McDuffie who recently deceased. The best Superman story I have ever seen a must for your collection.
