Superheroes Movies
Posted by Christine on March 26, 2009
Comic books are the movies of the time. There are so many comic characters and superheroes now being made into Hollywood fares. Not that I mind actually. In fact, I rather enjoy them.
I wonder what it says about us as a society. Are we in need of heroes? Are we hoping someone will fly in and save the day? I think in some ways we are that and more. We want to believe in Good again. We want to believe there are those out there all about helping others and doing the “right thing.”
The last couple I’ve seen are The Incredible Hulk and Hancock. Both Edward Norton and Will Smith are enjoyable any day of the week, so I most certainly enjoyed both movies.
I’ve been posting small, quick reviews on the ciao site.
Here’s my list so far:

And since I am snowed in today up here in Colorado -I believe the correct term is White Out, my first- it’s probably going to be a movie day (and hot chocolate). Ha, ha.

I am rather depressed by super heroes movies. Though they are untertaining, I often find them fruitless and shallow. I do not think that we are in need for heroes, but that some directors deeply lack inspiration or ideas. I often wonder how so many adults and educated people can seriously get so involved in those teenage things…
