Avis sur le produitAll Star Superman (DCU) (Blu-ray, 2011)

Differant storyline but still Super!

All-Star Superman's 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode hits many of the same highs and lows as previous DCU animation Blu-ray releases. The high definition image is incredibly striking: beautiful splashes of color adorn every frame, razor sharp lineart brings the characters and their world to life, and the presentation represents a substantial, undeniably worthwhile upgrade over its DVD counterpart. But the encode is also riddled with faint but persistent issues. Banding is a prevailing problem, artifacting undermines the integrity of the picture again and again, pixelation and aliasing haunt the animators' tight linework, and other arguably minor eyesores abound. Granted, each individual anomaly is relatively minor. Together though, they manage to land a number of devastating punches on Superman's unflinching jaw. Watch faces, light sources and backgrounds. See it all? When Lois first tours the Fortress of Solitude, note the rampant banding on the walls and corridors; when she and Superman go flying the following night, notice the artifacts that stir in the red of his cape and the stair-stepping that plagues the skies; when Lex escorts Clark out of his prison block, keep your eyes locked on the reporter's suit coat. These are just a handful of scenes in which the technical image fails to soar as high as the visuals the film has to offer.

That being said, some DCU releases (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse springs to mind) suffer at the hands of more glaring, more frequent and more distracting anomalies. And because many of these issues -- many, not all -- trace back to the film's source, the extent to which Warner's encode is at fault in each case isn't certain. Ultimately, it's important to consider the sheer leap-forward in quality the Blu-ray edition offers over the standard DVD, especially when determining a subjective score. All-Star Superman's presentation isn't perfect by any means, nor will it earn any hyperbolic praise from me. But its flaws aren't debilitating or distracting enough to prevent anyone from enjoying the film, its animation or the encode's strengths.

All-Star Superman's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is far more satisfying. While the film's at-times two-dimensional sound design limits the immersiveness of the experience, the impact of the mix is most appreciated. Dialogue is crystal clear, voices dwell within the on-screen world rather than floating above it, and ambient effects are clean and engaging. The LFE channel packs welcome punch as well. While the film itself isn't a bombastic actioner per se, Superman's super-heroics shake the earth and rattle the windows quite effectively. Explosions roar, ground-slams reverberate and every destructive blow is backed by crippling power. It may not boast the nuance of a Hollywood blockbuster, but it is potent. The rear speakers are just as active and aggressive. Sound echoes through the Fortress of Solitude and Lex's secret underground cavern, wreckage hurtles past the listener, energy blasts crackle and gusts of wind whip past. My only complaint? Christopher Drake's score isn't always given the support and stature it deserves in the mix, and often gets relegated to the bottom of the pile. Even so, All-Star Superman has the sonic muscle necessary to back its convictions.Lire l'avis complet...

good film, great storyline

Great film quality. The storyline was very good and shows a new side of Superman. The blu ray quality makes it even more enjoyable. I have to point out that this is a must have for any fan of the Superman comics and a must have for any collectors. The fact that blu-ray allows for more footage on the disc such as directors interviews, comic history and the making of the background story. I don't think i could go back to regulary dvd format discs. I would have liked to see more comic art included on the disc but fans always want more..Lire l'avis complet...

NOT MUCH HERE FOR A BATMAN FAN

SUPERMAN WAS BEST DEPICTED IN JUSTICE LEAGUE:CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS, IN BATMAN/SUPERMAN:APOCALYPSE AND RECENTLY IN SUPERMAN/SHAZAM SO IF U WANT TO SEE SUPERMAN IN HIS TRUE SELF WATCH ALL OF THEM OTHER THAN THAT NOT A BAD MOVIE BETTER THEN SUPERMAN SHAZAM IN LENGTH BUT NOT MUCH EFFECTIVE IN SUPERMAN PORTRAYAL
AND TO BE CLEAR IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE IDEA OF SUPERMAN IM TALKING ABOUT THE LOOKS OF SUPERMAN THE FIRST LOOK U'LL GET OF SUPERMAN WILL INSTANTLY BRING IT TO YOUR MIND
"MAN, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS CAPE... ITS SO HIGH EVEN HIGHER FROM HIS LEG JOINTS"

BUT APART FROM THAT BLURAY/DVD/DIGITAL COMBO IS GETTING EVERYWHERE NORMAL BLURAY PACKAGE SO ITS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE THREE FOR THE PRICE OF ONELire l'avis complet...

Superman in animated form... still works.

After viewing Superman from the animated series to several feature-length films, I gave `All-Star' a chance. Superman dealing with the truth that he's dying and revealing his secret identity to Lois Lane... with a devious plan conceived by Lex Luthor. It's quite a concept. This version of Superman is more `human' and exhibits his morals notably... the `overgrown boy scout', as Batman once described him. Very entertaining.Lire l'avis complet...

Does Supe get better than this?

This animation is a faithful potrayal of it's original comic. It lacks some of the stories told in All Star Superman but all in all is a nice rendition of the comic.
Compared to other supe animations I must say that it really stands out from the rest.Lire l'avis complet...

A must own movie for anyone! Especially comic fans.

An amazing, highly recommended movie. Best out of all the DC Universe movies so far. It captured the very essence of the award winning All-Star Superman comic.

All Star Superman

Not very much action in this movie...It's also too slow at times. The story is good but a bit boring.

Superman Saves the Earth Again!

More of a love story than usual but still a great movie. Lex Luthor is back as a spectacular nemesis. Highly recommend this movie to anyone who is a superhero buff.
