DVDiculous: Superman Unbound


Today I found out that a Superman movie, Superman: Unbound, came out a few months ago and I'll be damned if it wasn't pretty good. Not as good as Superman Vs. The Elite but it was still good. There are a few things happening in this and it could have easily been spit into two films so it feels rushed at times. 



Lois Lane lets Clark Kent aka Superman know that she is tired of hiding their relationship from everyone but he feels that he has to to protect her. Each time they try and talk he has to rush off to save the world, city, or Lois which he brings up and is totally true. I mean, the film starts off with her being held hostage and Supergirl and Superman having to save her ass. 



Supergirl is upset that Superman can not accept the fact that this world and her powers are strange to her because while he grew up on Earth after crashing here as a baby she landed as a teen and is not used to being so strong considering she had to run away from her home planet, Krypton, as it was attacked. 



A strange object lands on Earth and I laughed because instead of asking the robot what its deal was Superman immediately starts beating the shit out of it! Supergirl later sees it and flips out since she knows that it belongs to Braniac who Superman, in this version, has not faced before. 



This was a cool film but I could not quite get used to the voices used for Superman and Braniac. The art was good, but again, I had to get used to it, along with some weird ass scenes during fights where it looked like something out of a cheap anime. As with every Superman cartoon he makes some questionable decisions but manages to come out on top.
