Superhero Archetypes

I am taking a slightly different direction and I have created a new blog called Superhero Archetypes which I will use to explore the role our superheroes and villains play in our society from my humble perspective.  If you would like to continue this conversation, go on over to Superhero Archetypes and let’s see where it takes us.

Spoiler free review …

Bluetights.net has posted a spoiler free review of the movie.  Bottom line:  Its all good!  Here is a taste of the review:

Superman fans – he’s back. This film delivers on all fronts. We all know that the action is through the roof, but the big question on everyone’s mind is the acting, so let’s start with the Man of Steel himself. Brandon Routh is my Superman. I really think he was fantastic in this film, and he was particularly strong in his Superman scenes with Kate Bosworth’s Lois Lane. There’s something very interesting going on in Brandon’s performance. He’s not simply cloning what Reeve gave us two decades ago, but he is exuding the same sort of aura that Reeve did back then. The best way that I can describe it is to say that these two are cut from the same cloth.

Superman Returns on Yahoo! Movies

Yahoo! Movies has some pretty good coverage of Superman Returns.  There are trailers, images, information about the upcoming movie and even links to other Superman movies.  I battled a little to play movie trailers on the site through Quicktime but there is an option to play Windows Media videos too.

Official website revamped

The official Superman Returns website has been revamped somewhat.  There are TV spots and trailers in a variety of formats, not to mention the usual stills and other downloads.  It is well worth checking out.  You can even subscribe to the video feed in iTunes and receive new video as and when it is published.

I love the new TV spots.  We don’t get these here in South Africa so it is great to see all the new footage.  Love the Web!
