superman

i just watched superman returns...jason had free tickets from one of his vendors...apparently they were having a movie event for their customers...but good thing it was free...hehe.

superman was so manequin-like that i couldn't tell if brandon routh was computer generated or the real person...i guess that's the downside of having all this technology in movies nowadays...classics are hard to beat in that sense.

but having said that, i can't help but admit that a sudden surge of emotion triggered a portion of my optical nerves to release a drop of salty substance when i saw superman fly for the first time in the movie. i was like "wow". school boy stuff. hehe. but after that, the movie might as well have been from pixar pictures for all i knew...

(2.5/5)

"it may sound absurd...but don’t be naive,
even heroes have the right to bleed...
i may be disturbed...but won’t you concede,
even heroes have the right to dream...
it’s not easy to be me..."

- five for fighting

i'm only human...but i'll try.

cheers. =)

Well, Superman is supposed to be wooden, I think. He's an old-style hero with no moral ambiguity and no vulnerabilities except kryptonite. He is a god, someone everyone can look up to and aspire to be more like and not an everyman hero such as Spiderman.

Besides, in any Superman movie, it's always the villains who are more interesting. Surely you can't be telling me you didn't like Kevin Spacey's awesome performance?
