This Is Not Superman I Have Grown Up With!

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2013)

It is proved by experience numerous times that all of the superheroes culture has been created to make us want to be more than we are as people. And the greatest example, the greatest icon of this culture is Superman. This god-like alien is something more than just an invulnerable, super strong, super fast, flying entity. The thing, which makes Superman a Superman is his undeniable humanism and altruism. This alien is more human as we could ever hope to be. He is the ideal of hope, which we, humans, would probably never achieve. This alien teaches us how to be real human beings and what our moral and ethical values should be.
This alien would never allow a human being to die. He would rather make the Earth turn backwards and revers the time, no matter how illogical that would be. This alien would never kill, no matter what a bad guy could do to him. No even in self-defence.
You know why?
Because he knows he is omni-potent. And chooses to use this omni-potency to help the humanity. Because he cares.
The new Superman is just an alien, who flies in a suit, fighting other aliens, disregarding the insignificant indigenous population. Why should he care? We are like ants to him and his people.
The moral of a story?
When you do a Superman movie, at least have the decency to sit down, read some Superman comics and look into the character, so you can figure out what really makes him a Superman. That's my advice to Christopher Nolan and Zak Snyder.
