Jesus Christ Superman
Finally, after the long wait we were able to watch Superman Returns last night...errr...at midnight. And all I can say is that I'm watching it again! I realized how much I missed the soundtrack, and I remembered the first time I went to a moviehouse - I was with my Dad to watch Superman against 3 aliens. Oh by the way, that scene where Clark went to see his son? I cried. I'm such a cry baby.
"For this reason I sent them you, my only son ." Jor-El father of Superman (voice of Marlon Brando)
The statement created a stir in California. And quite a few bloggers have interesting ideas to share. Mythology or pure coincidence? Check it out.
haven't seen the movie yet. sa friday pa :(

I never understood the obsession with Superman. To me, he was always a pretty boring hero - after all, he is pretty much invincible. Spiderman was always much more interesting (along with Rocket Robin Hood and Ultraman) - at least when I was a kid.
(sorry, no intent to criticize, I just noticed a lot of people are really quite keen Supe and I just don't get it - like most things in life).

hi. of course it isn't coincidental. it's actually pretty much in character. as another blogger recently pointed out, a person with that much power has to either save the world or destroy it. the savior complex is inevitable.
or am i being too serious? :D

Richard, maybe it's because a lot of people wanted the idea of a super hero who can fly.
And perhaps the fact that he is from another planet is appealing -some people love those alien stuffs you know :)
My hubby also finds it stupid that people can't see the resemblance between Superman and Clark Kent with the glasses.

kasi nga he's SUPERMAN ...
as in he has the perfect face and body and voice of an ideal MAN... a perfect man - a super man! plus he SAVES the world from destruction, which has a very Christian undertones.... that's why the appeal to everyone.
I like this Superman though... i find Christopher Reeves a bit too perfect.

I on the other hand prefer Christopher Reeve as Superman. :D

Sayang si Christopher Reeve no? He had a good life when he was Superman :(

I've also read a similar article in our paper. But critics do that sometimes. I remember they also compared The Matrix trilogy to the Holy Trinity and NEO being the Supreme ONE.
I grew up watching Christopher Reeve as Superman, so I am biased. :) But I also think that we ought to give other actors the chance to play the role. Brandon is also very handsome. :)

hello Niceheart, I think Brandon is the best replacement for Reeves :)

hi jairam =)
thanks for visiting my blog. i just stared helplessly at Brandon ROuth the whole time. he's so handsome. sigh*
i read in People magazine that he once won best in costume at a costume party just by dressing up as Clark Kent. self-fulfilling prophecy? hmmm. ^_^
