Superman Unbound
SCORE: 45
Superman Unbound may go down as one of the
most forgettable animated DC Comics movies of all time. That is quite a
historic achievement to hit since there have been some real DC Comics
stinkers. Which is a shame because Superman Unbound has so much
potential. It was just not fleshed out in this short 75 minute movie.
What I find most interesting about Superman Unbound is the name. How
does it apply to the content within this animated movie? It really has
no bearing on the movie. In fact it could be called Supergirl Held Back,
or Superman Fights Brainiac. That is what happens in Superman Unbound.
Superman holds back and protects Supergirl. Superman fights Brainiac.
Superman gets captured, taken to Kandor, and escapes. Superman Unbound
glosses over so many potential great moments.
The blood, gore, violence, mayhem, and wanton destruction run through
the majority of Superman Unbound. The disgusting behaviors are portrayed
by a variety of characters. Then there is enticement to lust, and
encouraging sexual deviancy. At one point one character encourages
another one to lie and pretend they are a sexual deviant. That it would
make less people talk. That kind of twisted logic is just sickening.
Superman Unbound is predictable to a fault. In fact to me Superman
Unbound feels like the people behind this movie were going through the
motions. Like they did not want to give their best effort to this movie.
Like they were pre-occupied with something else. Superman Unbound is the
biggest DC Comics disappointment in some time.
The bonus features in Superman Unbound are the generic rah, rah, we are
all so amazing, everyone is great to work with, this is the best product
on the planet kind of fluff we have grown accustom to in our culture.
