  Superman/Batman didnt seem as well rounded as director Lauren Montgomerys Wonder Woman, which made great use of humor and action, and was a prime origin story. Speaking of origin stories, I hear Montgomery is working on Batman: Year One. Exciting! Hopefully that turns out to be a little more intriguing than Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. It honestly baffles me how a comic book film could turn out to be sub-par. Everything was laid out already: dialog, action, story board. It should have been fool proof. It was still watch-able, but it wasnt first rate. Read Full Review

  In the end, I was left with a completely mixed reaction to this DVD. I liked and disliked this movie in pretty much equal parts. We've seen better original DVDs from both DC and Marvel. Read Full Review

  Perhaps if this had been an adaptation of a better comic book, the quality of the source material could have shone through such a bland, run-of-the-mill approach. In reality, though, Jeph Joebs original story was adequate at best, and Apocalypse could have used a much greater creative spark than anyone involved managed to muster. Read Full Review
