Review: 'WANTED' Blu-Ray
Worlds Finest DVD Report takes a look at 'Wanted' on Blu-Ray December 2nd:
"Overall this is a pretty packed release and is worth taking a look at if you enjoy the film. The more I bash and write about this film, the more I’m beginning to think it may be the type of film that grows on you. Once you realize its ridiculousness and accept its flaws, it’s really not that bad of a movie. Just don’t watch it with an overexcited and sugar-rushed audience at 10pm at night and you should have a more pleasant first viewing than I. As with the film, this one is a Rental…but the more I think about it I can’t help but wonder if I should bump up the rating. I know I didn’t like it the first time around, but it could very well grow on you if you give it enough of a chance. Or maybe I’m just focusing on the good things (Viper, end shoot out) in attempt to forget the bad (the dialogue, McAvoy). Who knows; I won’t know for sure until I venture into this one for a third viewing and that is a long ways off."

Review: 'SUPERMAN DOOMSDAY' Special Edition Blu-Ray
Worlds Finest DVD Report also has you covered for the Blu-Ray release of 'Superman Doomsday' in stores tomorrow.
"Overall, the new Blu-ray release is a great step-up from last year's DVD release. The transfer is great, the sound is good (but could be better), the extras are bountiful, and the movie is pretty excellent, too. This new Superman Doomsday: Special Edition will please fans, no question. If you’ve been waiting for a Superman slugfest flick, this is the answer to your prayers. More importantly, there’s heart to be found, and a touching story, and that alone really sells the movie and the character interactions. It goes without saying that this release comes Highly Recommend. Warner Home Video has packed this Blu-ray with extras, both new content and ported over old content. It adds up to a lot of bonus materials and it's a great package from start to finish."

The Superman: Doomsday cartoon feature sucked worse than even the absolute worst of the Smallville episodes. The fight between Supes and Doomsday was decent, but the rest of the damn film bore no resemblance to the story told about the funeral of the world's greatest hero, the regin of the Supermen or the Return of Superman. Big thumbs down on my end for this crapfest.
The only saving grace of the dvd was the documentary about the history of why they decided to kill Supes and what happened after. Great Documentary, terrible cartoon.
