February 8, 2001: "The Indian Superman"
You will believe a movie can stink!Superman is one of those rare movies that manages to offend on every level. It is badly acted, badly directed, badly filmed, and makes no sense whatsoever. And just to add that extra level of offensiveness, the whole project is probably illegal. This Superman, namely the Indian Superman, is a stone cold rip-off of the 1978 Richard Donner film. It steals story elements, special effects footage, and even music from that far superior film.
Read a detailed synopsis and analysis of this 150-minute monstrosity at the Stomp Tokyo website.
Now while I haven't seen this movie for myself, the stills taken from this "movie" (of which I'm displaying only one here on this page) and the storyline described in the Stomp Tokyo synopsis had me on the ground laughing. I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually watched this film. :)
