Superman: Red Son had a few exciting passages, but they were few and far between. And despite some solid voice acting and a nice production design reminiscent of the Justice League/Unlimited TV-show the writers didn't do the story much justice.

Aside from capturing the conflict of Superman himself both in the performance by Jason Isaacs and the character's facial expressions when he encounters various upsetting moments, the writers managed to degenerate this version of Lex Luthor into the most generic bad guy.

To the newcomers, read the source material, it's a better story and better told. The delivery in this adaptation is clumsy and stripped down to barely make any sense in the most important aspects of the USA vs USSR setting.

What the hell kind of adaptation was that? The comic is considered one of the greatest storylines about superman ever told. And what do we get? A pure American propaganda take on the comic.

Mark Millar explicitly said he didn't want the comic to be used for propaganda purposes. There is absolutely no way he okayed this mutilation of his magnum opus.

The dialogue was clunky and superman was turned into a murderer just so the American audience could sympathise with Lex Luxor. The manic Lex Luthor from the comic, obsessed with Superman, and his relationship with Louis isn't the falling apart one from the comic.

This really could have done with being a 5/6 episode series, staying true to the comic and with none of the American propaganda nonsense.

Way to massacre a great comic you idiots. Hopefully, this team will never work on another comic book adaptation again.

And taking wonder woman as superman's love interest and turning her into a lesbian just to be 'woke', genuinely ridiculous. If completely ruins the intimate relationship that they had and makes their 'break up' flat in the movie.

The comic book ending was supposed to make you really think and not be America equals good and communism equals bad.

The only reason I haven't given this a 1/10 is because the voice acting was good.

Do yourself a favour, just read the comic and avoid this movie.

Superman is from Russia. We see him as a teen in 1946. Later he kills Stalin and world history is altered by his presence. Lois Lane marries Lex Luthor who eventually becomes President and James B. Olsen, an African-American become Vice President. The film deals with the inner conflicts of Superman raised on Marx and how capitalism enslaves people. The production freely mixes economic and political systems. Also in the feature is Batman, Green lanterns, Diana, and Lex in what looks like a type of Ironman suit. I found things a bit hokey. The language has second-tier swear words. Nice to see Paul Williams (Brainiac) is still alive.
