Managed to catch Superman Returns yesterday.
I've to say this is one of the best version of the popular superhero from DC Comic. Maybe because Superman had an awesome cool costume. Or maybe the special effect was superb. Or maybe because Superman was potrait as an emotional guy just like any human beings. Rather than attempt to be larger than life and behave like an icon, he prefers to play it with more humanity and personality. That gained the sympathies from the people watching him which i'm sure the director of the show, Bryan Singer had in mind when he was first assigned to do the movie.
Except for some of the takes which were exaggerated to the point of idiocy. Like when Superman's hair remained gelled eventhough after diving into the sea. How he managed to land up in the ICU ( like come on he IS Superman after all. Just give him a bit of sunlight and he be up and running or should i say flying). And the shocker of all mother shocker ( hah somehow i like how that sounds. hmm ) - Superman has a huge secret. Maybe bigger than the already destroyed Planet Krypton. As yours truly is really a very thoughtful and considerate guy, i won't spoil the fun for those who have not catch the movie. For those who don't want to, beep me up ( only people that knows me are applicable here! hah ), then i will be more than kind to fill you in in one of the biggest surprise ever in DC Comic. Trust me. You won't expect this. Neither did i!
Other than that, i think Brandon Routh depicts Superman to a very certain point that he reminds me of the late Christopher Reeves. So much for Tom Welling. I think he should just stay at Smallville. Not that i've anything against him since i lurveee watching Smallville ( Lana Lang! Lois Lane! Chloe Sullivan!), it's just that Brandon Routh is this raw talent which people have not seen before, thus making him the perfect Superman after Reeves. That ol' chap should be proud, trust me.
So..
Other than Superman being the main talking point of this entry, I so badly wanna clear this up. It's getting real irritating. After 23 long years.
I am a MALAY.MUSLIM!
Please do not mistook me for a Chinese. Yes my grandma may hail all the way from Hong Kong. Yes i may look supa-cina now (i'm trying my very best to get as much tan as possible). But no i'm no Chinese. I can only speak ee tian tian Mandarin. I can understand when people are bitching about me in Mandarin. I may enjoy watching Chinese drama serial ( and now Korean shows have caught my attention and heart! Heh). But i do watch Malay shows. Listen to Malay songs. Speak Malay ( albeit the very rough version or melayu kasar). I am 100% Melayu. No doubt about it.
And the most annoying part?
When people start talking to me in Chinese when i'm wearing my bloody Army uniform with my name spelt out perfectly clear in the name tag and in capital letters at that! These people ah.
" Wa pu sher huaren. Wa sher malairen. " - that's my common response to that (well i obviously don't know how to spell Mandarin characters so pardon me if it's spelt wrongly).
Anyway..
I'm going to Korea next year right after ORD-ohhh!!
If i got my way that is ( 60% almost there. Heh). The families are planning to go to Melbourne but i think i prefer going Korea since it's gonna be snow and the scenery will be just superb! Kawaii!! Opps. That's Japanese. *winks*
Man of steel..
