10 reasons I love superheroes/movies

My 5 cents on why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I love them.


1. Every superhero has a story, a humble beginning, circumstances which make him/her 'not normal'. That strikes a chord. 

2. They are unsure of their motives and morals. Unsure of their responsibilities. Don't we all face such situations in real life ??

3. They always choose what is right for everyone. They see the bigger picture. I believe we all play the super heroic part at some point in life.

4. They want you to believe in goodness, fairness (not of the skin, duh) of the system.

5. These Hollywood people make the movies so spectacular and larger than life, it's hard to not get affected. Check out the harry potter trailer in my earlier post.

6. And if you rope in a hottie like Hugh Jackman or a cutie like Tobey Macguire, who would not like to die (watch the movie in spite of its craziness or long length) for them ?? 

7. As a personal gain from these movies I see everyone around me as a hero. Remember the incredibles ?

8. At the end there's always something to ponder upon or feel good about. A dark knight leaves you baffled whereas Harry Potter leaves you wiser.

9. Sometimes even with super heroic/magical powers they are as miserable as us. The to be or not to be dilemma ...

10. I finally quote a dialogue from Spiderman 2 here, which pretty much sums up all the 9 points above, 

We need a hero, courageous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams. 

X men origins - wolverine releases today. Roger Ebert here smashes the movie (my initial reaction after watching the trailer was not very exciting) but what the heck.. 

To my believes :D

cheers,
