the bibilical version of superman

Rating: 5/10 (15 June 2013)

...which is what this was. The similarities are so forced and obvious that it feels like this movie was directed by billy graham or Pope John Paul or something. There is very little "superman" of the comic book fame. Look, on the planet Krypton, babies are made to order (like a wendy's burger) with the correct dna set up. Want a warrior? get a warrior. Jor-El and his wife have a baby the old fashioned way, and thus, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of Krypton is born. He is sent by his FATHER so that THRU him ALL MANKIND can be saved...
Even the beard he sports (and how does he shave? Really?) and working as a FISHERMAN and throwing his arms out in the form of a cross, and of course, making himself a willing sacrifice at the relatively mature age of, what? 33...just like Christ.
Look, I'm a Christian. I love Cool Hand Luke and I see the parallel there to Christ...and it was wonderful. But...this? Come on, please. I want more comic book and less new testament at this movie. I just feel like I've been preached at for 2 hours. maybe tomorrow our pastor will fly into the rafters, and the world will balance it self out.
Still, i enjoyed the fx...so giving it a 5. The restof the movie was just a reason to preach, and that got old.
