Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

People are voting emotionally.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely the worst movie.

The second in this wonderful serious is the best. This cartoon is also one of the cartoons i remember the most. If you read my review of the previous cartoon, you will know i owned a dvd with most of these cartoons on it. This one is one of the cartoons i remember very well from my childhood, because it used to scare the crap out of me when i was a kid, for some reason. I think i just thought the robots were scary. Anyways on to the cartoon.The story is about this evil scientist, crime boss, og criminal rich guy. Who has build these big robots who steals jewels and cash for him at night. The story about robots flying around and stealing gems, jewels, and cash is of course published by many newspapers, including the Daily Planet. Later, as Lois Lane and Clark Kent are covering the museum's exhibit for the Daily Planet, one of the robots lands in the street outside. The police tries to stop it with machine guns but the bullets can't stop the robot and it marches through the big window in the museum. As the museum visitors, including Clark and Lois, flee, the monster marches towards the jewels and steals them. While Clark phones the Daily Planet, Lois climbs into the Monster's back, just as the monster leaves the museum and takes off into the sky. Now it's up to Superman to save the day.There's really nothing i dislike about this cartoon, other than it's dated by today's standards, but again, i can't really dislike it for that. The X-ray vision being introduced in this cartoon, is enough to love it. But this cartoon has lots of other reasons why it's my favorite. The animation is great again, it's bright and colorful. The designs of the robots, is really cool. And one of the best action scenes of this series, in the end, where superman beats the crap out of the robots is the highlight of this cartoon. It also gets pretty dark at the end, when the villain tries to commit suicide, by jumping into the lava. but then Superman grabs him, and flies off. It's also very impressive that this short inspired movies like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. As a big fan of Miyazaki, i will say, this is pretty damn awesome.In conclusion, this is my favorite cartoon of the Fleischer/Famous Studios Superman cartoon series. 10/10

The Mechanical Monsters see's the return of our favourite superhero as this time he takes on a villian with a small army of giant robots he uses in his jewellery heists.Alike the others this is quaint and highly nostalgic, with action happening in time with the music, cheesy one liners and Lois Lane there simply to be saved.At 10 minutes in length there isn't much to see but it makes up for it being a nice slice of old school wartime entertainment.The Good:Highly nostalgicCharmingThe Bad:Very shortSomewhat cheesyThings I Learnt From This Short:Every good villian needs a moustacheA villians lair isn't complete without a lava poolI'm suddenly genuinely curious whether the police actually had tommy guns

I so enjoyed these cartoons when they came on. I was a child and was so pleased to know that this series predates the George Reeves offerings (which I also liked). In this one, a mad scientist (apparently part of subculture) has created something resembling Transformers. They are machines that can morph into other machines with a goal of destruction or sophisticated pillaging. Once Lois Lane gets wind of this, she manages to make her way on board one of them. This brings Superman out and he must face off against a horrible Ray created specifically to do him in. Lois, as usual, seems to cause considerable complications. One of the better of the series.

This, the second Superman cartoon made by Max and Dave Fleischer, was another exciting adventure that provided enough entertainment for a 6-minute short. In this one, giant robots rob jewels for their master. When Lois and Clark find out, the former of course has to investigate. So when Superman arrives in the nick of time to save her, he does so with no real danger to himself as evidenced when he uses his cape to siphon the molten lava meant to kill Ms. Lane. Also, this was the first time Supes uses his x-ray vision on film. I thought this was a little better than the first one so on that note, The Mechanical Monsters comes highly recommended.
