  • I am not the biggest fan of the character design for this film, and the villains aren't exactly mainstream, but it still covers a few themes that I find very interesting for the Superman character. It is worth watching, but is not the best in the film series.

  • A movie with a good debate about different ideals to a same goal.

  • The action, story and animation are just amazing!

  • It's both surprising and welcome to see a 'versus' film that pits moral philosophies against each other rather than powers. This plays to the real strengths of the man of steel, which are his human heart not his alien abilities, and allows us to empathize with a character who is sometimes thought of as an aloof god, we really feel his agony as he tries to help people be good. There's still a lot of action, but it's all in service of the plot and character interactions and while the animation seems a little odd it's definitely unique and suits its subjects. This is exactly what this series of animated movies was designed for; a mature and brave take on superheroics.

  • As far as Superman Animated movies go this is one of the best even though yet again its very dull most of the time, The story was good and some of the action scenes were pretty fun but unlike The Batman animated films it always feels like there's something missing, Maybe it's because Superman is DC's Captain America (Dull and more botherd about following rules than doing what needs to be done)

  • Superman faces off against a villainous group of meta humans that think they are right. The worst kind of villain is one who thinks they are the hero. The story of the elite individuals in life presuming power over the mundane is a tale as old as time. This story just puts a superhero spin on it and succeeds in the process.

  • Animation is ok, don't know all other characters, but brought a valid point of killing bad guys. Sups somehow becomes really powerful at the end, needs more explaining

  • A great adaption of one of the best Superman stories (and in my opinion surpassing it), it's action packed, while still being a high-minded story for a superhero film. Definitely the best Superman cartoon movie to date and something I'd recommend even to people who dislike the big blue boy-scout.

  • This was my first Superman cartoon film and it was pretty cool! Really displays what Superman and his philosophy is all about perfectly and sets it in a post 9/11 world among the mentality of fear and vengeance at all costs. Superman, a man of hope, justice, and peace knows a better way. This was a good preface to the DCCU to see how Superman really should be. It was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I watched it.

  • It has a nice moral being brought into the spotlight from its source material plus the usual qualities and tastes in animated and voice-acting performances, it's another impressive feat from DC Comics, and another Superman movie with a meaning that the hero stands for while being challenged as the film's moral also brought up compelling points around the character. (B+)(Full review coming soon - with better wording probably)

  • "Superman vs. The Elite" is a great little animated movie about the clash between the idealism of the past and the gritty reality of the Post-Modern world with Superman's refusal to kill unnecessarily being put to the test by the Elites, a group who believe might makes right and that killing evil is the only way to stop it. This is a movie that is very relevant to today and shows that, as Superman says, "Dreams save us" even, or perhaps especially, in the chaotic times we are living in now.

  • Superman is probably the superhero most difficult to give a compelling story, but this film succeeds because the conflict of his idealism vs Manchester Black's cynicism isn't a problem he can just punch away.
