Biblical similarities - ?Intentional? or ?NOT?

Rating: 5/10 (21 June 2013)

I have been a Superman fan for as long as I can remember, and there is almost no aspect of the story I haven't seen with the minor exception of some short-lived television serials... That said, I have to question why the writer/director elected in THIS installment of Superman to have the entire story hinged on the survival of mankind and such strong inflection added to the pointed idea that Clark Kent /Kal-El /Superman has a need to point out to those in defense of our nations safety that he has lived in Kansas for 33 years (the same age as Jesus when he was crucified and rose from death to save our mortal souls)or that his life there made him as much an American than the rest of us. As a fictional savior to mankind, its almost offensive that a similarity of age would be used to project him being one of us or that his youth made any difference in the outcome of the world. It was probably nothing, but I didn't appreciate the comparison of Saviors even if it was only a matter of age. This Superman installment was TOO mechanical, and dealt far too little with the character himself and his place in humanity. It would be nice if the story STOPPED being re-written to accommodate new ideas.
