This was just aight overall. It was cool to see the different take on the story and I thought this new version/spin on things was interesting.
I'm a huge fan of the game series and think it's one of the most interesting concepts in the DC universe - what if Superman succumbed to his own power out of loss and pain and became the villain? Better yet, what if some heroes agree with him and a civil war ensues? However I ultimately don't think this movie takes full advantage of that source material and ends up falling short...runtime included. Can't say I'm a diehard fan of all the DC animated movies but some of them do stand out - I think of Red Hood, Flashpoint and Dark Knight Returns as some of the gems. This one for me falls into the category of "full price blu ray? Yeah right." but a decent Redbox rental.
I'd love to see this done as a longer live action film (or multiple films) with a bit more put into it. I think there's a lot of potential that remains untapped.
