super man movie closer to reality

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2003)

As far as the movie is concerned, it is no doubt a commendable effort in all aspects. We can say that this is another superhuman movie but what makes it different from others is its realistic touch. Samuel L. Jackson did an incredibly good job.
I also would like to comment on Elijah's role. He is suffering from a rare bone disease but at the same time he is quite brilliant. I think his mother is the biggest culprit in the whole story. She ruined her child's life by giving him nothing else to read other than comics. People are not born to do good or evil things. People get different abilities and powers that they can utilize in a good or bad way. Elijah could have excelled in scholarly discipline with the God gifted brilliant mind he had but his mother and to some extent surroundings induced in him inferiority complex and he turned into a criminal. He just read comics and started thinking about everything in terms of comic characters.
Anyway, the movie was really a good drama.
