Leave your thoughts about The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?.
| Schmoes KnowMark EllisInsightful, funny and powerful...and the actual test-footage featuring Cage as the man of steel is remarkable |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA talky behind the scenes look at the Tim Burton proposed adaptation of Superman Lives. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicA detailed and fascinating look inside the belly of a superhero movie beast that was devoured in development hell. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleThe film seems more interested in trying to get the skinny on Superman, rather than making a grand statement about the industry. What we get is a somewhat sloppy labor of love from a fan. Nothing more, nothing less. |
| NerdistScott WeinbergProvides a whole lot of interesting tidbits about the project's long and convoluted development process, and it does so in a thorough, upbeat, and amiable fashion. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberDespite these lapses and a padded running time, this film does burst with fascinating inside lore. |
| Schmoes KnowKristian HarloffWe'll never get to see Cage as Superman, but with "The Death of 'Superman Lives'...What Happened?" Jon Schnepp masterfully portrays a universe where we did. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA sensational, riveting documentary, especially for film fans who've been clamoring for some type of investigation into this production for years. |
| User ReviewBlake SBest well thought out movie I have seen in a long time. |
| User ReviewReed VA film for sweaties. I waited forever for Superman Lives then it just went *poof* with no explanation. Great doc. |
