I mean he must have, in order to get Clark Kent's gig.
Vogelsang ( who although I think may be indebted to Peter Parker) says we are all Supermen and women in training; thanks to CreComm, Superman can throw trucks and train cars at least 40 metres and apparently make some pretty tough deadlines to still keep his job while he juggles saving the world and wooing the girl.
While we are all getting great at being Super, no one did it quite as well as Christopher Reeve as the convincing nice guy and force not to be reckoned with, as he stepped out on to the screen in 1978.
Over a span of 9 years audiences saw Superman become more humanized through Reeve's portrayal.
This was the beginning of the growing trend in Comic book movies.
After Reeves donned the red cape for the last time in 1987, things went dark as we got to see things through the eyes of a bat in 1989.
After being played by three different Hollywood leading men and going from black to whack.... a new letter donned the new millenium.
X became the new S!
In 2000 a Mutant-ny began and since then we've seen a slew of webslingers
A
Daredevil
War experiments gone bad....
Technology gone good....
So with this becoming one of the latest trends in movies these days every year we wait to see what next hero will emerge, and in 2011 Crimefighters go green....
Not quite...
Canadian boy Seth Rogan goes from fighting off the munchies in Pineapple Express to fighting off bad guys in the Green Hornet which is in theatres today. This movie got a half star review out of 4. Although I will still want to be the judge for myself, I can expect that it is mostly gags and gadgets that make it mildly entertaining. This not-so dynamic duo has some big shoes to fill especially for Jay Chou who takes the role that once belonged to martial art legend Bruce Lee.
Six months from now we can anticipate yet another Canadian Boy to bring green cheese to the screen.
Ryan Reynolds a boy from Van brings Wilder to his imagination as he wears the power ring and suits up as the Green Lantern.
Hornet Versus Lantern
The Hornet has Kato with fists and feet of fury but Lantern has crime fighting skills wrapped around his finger.
After seeing both funny Canadian boys out of their comfort zone and literally in action I will do up a follow review as to what Canadian sell-out kicked more ass.
That's right sell out....two Maple Leaf Men playing American Heroes.....
What about this guy, eh?
I want you to tell me who is your hero???
One of the rules of Fight Blog is you must comment on Fight Blog
Putting on a mask and cape does not give you Super Powers.
You are not your fruity tights.
Call me Clark Kenton.
ReplyDeleteDid not know that Seth Rogan is Canadian. Thank you for that.
