When Warner announced that they would instruct Tim Bruce adaptation of the legendary (which meant more for marketing operation for its quality) comic "The Death of Superman ", I admit I felt some excitement to see the final result.
was clear that, being a single episode of 78 minutes, could not end upon the death of good Kal-El, but after having "resurrected." And it was impossible that in the movie cupiese everything that had happened in the comic. How to solve the mess the talented Bruce?
Early reviews were not very favorable, mostly because it was said that the film departed from the original story. History, as I said, I never liked too. There was thus a good fit, but: was a good movie?
The answer is: I really liked.
version of the Universe DC before us is the canonical we've seen in recent years, and far from the Byrne modifications introduced in the nineties. Some, in my opinion wrongly, as compared with the Superman films, like that is because this is more like Superman comics then the current Superman comics. But there is evil minions histrionic or stupid.
Superman We found a single, with some of his powers now disappeared (like the Super Breath) and is a scientific genius. Like Luthor, the thinnest and content of recent years. None of Pa Kent, although we will see Martha, which, this time, the influence of movies seems to have removed from the tomb.
is thus a remote version of the animated series, an "Other Worlds" show, a slightly more adult tone and dark. Especially thank the contents of the "bad" movie, smart and calculating, and the action scenes, most spectacular and violent than usual.
The time has forced reduced to simplify and change history. Doomsday comes not only in the first part of the movie, and there is nothing of the four "Supermen" or the psychedelic resurrection of the comics. This, which some see as weak points for me are hit. Doomsday
was never a big villain. It was created solely to kill Superman, and how he tried to give a background as Kryptonian genetic experiment not made him a great favor.
characters who tried to occupy the site of Superman after his death did not enjoy much popularity and have not survived very well, but also played a role: to stretch the story to sell more comics. Perhaps
would have been appreciated that Luthor had omitted at least as an attack trigger Doomsday, but good, need the money and the truth is that it is the best known and most charismatic villains of Supes. Better than the "trunk" of Doomsday, of course.
Conclusion: If you did not like the comic, highly recommended. If you like, you should give it a try, but keep in mind that it is a faithful adaptation.
