For only being 75 minutes, it seemed like a pretty complete movie. It feels longer than that, too... probably because it sort of drags a little bit in the middle. Well... maybe it does. It could be that the action parts are so good that they make normal scenes seem slower. Still great, though.
I doesn't really follow the comics, so any die hards out there be warned. But if you do watch it, please find something else to complain about aside from the fact that it wasn't a panel-by-panel recreation of the comics.
It's also worth pointing out that this isn't exactly a kid's movie. Doomsday kills a fair share of people (and a deer at one point). Most people might glaze over the fact that this actually has a PG-13 rating just because it's a Superman cartoon, but I'd say that it's probably a suitable rating.
If I had to change one thing, I'd pull Adam Baldwin as the voice of Superman. As much as I love him from Firefly (and I really do), I just didn't like him as the voice. I always kind of liked Tim Daly in the Superman cartoons from the mid to late-90s.
And while I'm not a huge fan of extras on DVD's (I mean, I just don't watch them, I'm not like... opposed to them) there's a pretty good documentary about the comics that inspired the movie.
