7/10
The Last Son Of Krypton was basically an introduction before the Superman super-hero television series premiered. Therefore while you'd imagine this is an source story, from Krypton to be able to Smallville to Metropolis.
Unfortunately this is only an hour long and that's a lot of content to get into 60 minutes! Regardless they do a remarkably good job as do the voice actors who would go on for being regulars in the DC computer animated universe.
With an introduction to the rivalry with Lex Luthor to Braniacs part in his homeworlds demise this does tick every box even if and also feel a tad rushed.
This feel good 60 minutes is a must for fans of the cartoon television series and makes a good standalone effort for fans of the characters as well.
Good job.
The Good:
Malcolm McDowell
Origin history is well done
The Bad:
A lttle bit "Too" Warner Brothers
In haste
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Kryptonian dress impression was awful
Colonel Sanders flies coach
7/10
This kind of feature length video launch is actually a re-cutting of the a few part pilot for the brand-new superman series produced by Warner Bros. using mostly Japoneses animation talent. The pilot re-tells the familiar source story of the Last Son of Krypton, while presenting two classic DC villains (Brainiac and Lex Luthor) and giving us any feisty new Lois Lane.
The look very 50s witty bookish and kind of science fiction retro. Metropolis looks like precisely what TV and the movies were being predicting for the year 2000: an urban landscape of giant buildings, elevated highways, top speed commuter trains, all very ultra-modern and glossy, but clean, efficient and common. The color palette is very brilliant and full of primary colors, giving the cartoon a Sunday supplement feel. The biggest complaint relates to a slightly clumsy look to the character computer animation, and even this is really slight. It's a big step up via Superfriends.
The show includes a good look, great reports and lots of superhero action, and Clark Kent himself (as voiced by Tim Daly) is wryly amusing along with stubbornly heroic in the face of occasionally tough choices. I observed this pilot and authorized on for the run from the show. Recommended.
