Cinemativ Christ- Figures: Holy Ohter or Wholly inadequate?

Everybody knows movies like The Passion of the Christ (2004), where an obvious Christ- figure is included, but there are also movies that also contain Christ-figures, which you can't see on the first glance like Spider-Man (2002) and Braveheart (1996).
 According to Kozlovic these figures include twenty-five character properties.  Dr. Christopher Deacy judges this approach as uncritical because what happens, when one Christ-figure doesn't include all twenty-five properties? Kozlovic didn't answer this question in his article "The Structural Characteristics of the Cinemativ Christ-figure". In addition to the first question Deacy advert to the problem: What would be done, if several Christ-figures appeared in the movie?
As laid down in Deacys article, it could be possible that biblical parallels emerge, but there is a variety of interpretations. For this reason not every hero have to be a Christ-figure, it would be an overenthusiastiv view as Robert Johnston points it out too.

Dr. Christopher Deacy

Deacy refers in his article "Reflections on the Uncritical Appropriation of Cinematic Christ- Figures: Holy Other or Wholly Inadequate?", that the theologians shouldn't try to find paralles between movie-figures and Christ-figures, but instead the movie should be seen as a dialogue partner of the theology. Because sometimes pictures could be useful to understand theological contents and also it is not necessary to use obvious religious issues in a movie to use it for a religious interpretation.
According to Deacy there are not only the one or the other side to interpretate movie- figures like Kozlovic point it out, but there are several ways to interpretate them.
