Superman on DVD full of ‘All Star’ qualities

“All Star Superman” is the best Superman comic ever told, and that is not hyperbole.
Writer Grant Morrison brings out all of the greatest qualities of Superman while humanizing him in the process. On that precedent, it is incredible the animated movie lives up to the comic.

The story of “All Star Superman” is about Superman during his last few months of life as he accomplishes some final superheroics and comes to terms with his relationships with Lex Luthor and Lois Lane. The movie works so well because it cuts the bloat of the comic down into a focused story of Superman’s relationship with Lex and Lois, the two most important people in his life.

The only downside to the movie is Superman’s voice actor, who is too deadpan and kills some emotional oomph of scenes.

The animation is great, not following the exact style of the comic but still recreating iconic scenes from the comics with its own flair.

The extras on the Blu-ray are highlighted with interviews detailing the whole process of making the comic and film.
