Ratings and reviews

Please see 0:35:58 Also when I see her on every motion picture and even when comparing her character in Smallville, I would have to say Lana Lang has fell off the hot wagon.. Hard. Clark straight dogged a missile. 0:55:23 yikes. And yes at 0:58:01 She Hulk is a now a news reporter for DC. Also this trailer has NOTHING to do with this movie.

Good movie, just like what I've come to expect from DC animation. Google is a bunch of idiots for still not fixing the trailor. Dozens of websites have uploaded the right trailor on Youtube, yet idiots at google can't even link to the right.one. instead they troll with a fake trailor. Would rather just buy this on blue ray then support people who don't want to do their jobs.

For the first time, we see the classic, masterpiece work of Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley come to life before our very eyes. This is an incredibly well-done film, so very true to the graphic novel it is based on. Part 1 was a perfect introduction to the realization of every comic fans' dream. But Part 2...Now THERE'S something truly special. Don't wait. Go and watch Part 2 as soon as you possibly can.
