"The Bulleteers"



"The Bulleteers" (short), 1942. Superman vs. some guys with a "bullet" plane.

Directed by Dave Fleischer. Written by Bill Turner & Carl Meyer, based on characters by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster. Starring Joan Alexander, Jackson Beck, Bud Collyer & Julian Noa.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad). Really, an airplane? That's supposed to be a match for Superman?
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). I love Fleischer Superman, so I still think this is awesome, but the series is definitely going downhill.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
