A giant robot crashes down to Earth, (\u201cBecause Hey, it\u2019s what they Do\u201d) and begins wreaking havoc on what looks like Metropolis destroying buildings and zapping citizens \u201cWar of the Worlds\u201d style. Superman crashes the party to battle the robot and but not before dispensing of a giant dinosaur in Japan, and saves the day. When you consider that this online short basically looks more like a first time experiment from Jordan than anything else, it\u2019s a considerably competent little vignette.<\/p>\n<p>It successfully hearkens back to the Fleischer era, that\u2019s also injects its own unique flavor. The spinning newspaper clich\u00e9 is there to broadcast the plot developments, and like all silent productions, subtitles explain the story that\u2019s pretty simple to figure out on our own. All flaws aside, though, \u201cSuperman vs. The Giant Robot from Outer Space\u201d made with Adobe Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker (filmmakers take note), is a great short but sweet dose of Superman entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Jordan\u2019s short animated experiment is a film that would have pretty much benefited from a longer format, some original voice work, and perhaps better dialog in the end, but for what he serves up in the form of original animation and the public domain cartoons, \u201cSuperman vs. The Giant Robot from Outer Space\u201d is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[58,64,99,906,938,1007],"class_list":["post-27838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-action-packed-april","category-movie-reviews","tag-action","tag-adaptation","tag-animation","tag-science-fiction","tag-short-film","tag-superman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27838"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27838\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27840,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27838\/revisions\/27840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
