The tornado scene is so bad I don't even have the strength to find and post it as an example of how bad Man of Steel is.

Man of Steel taught me that if you need to have an emotional scene with your child a tornado wont lift you up until you are literally inside it.

The tornado scene is overblown, while he shouldn't have gone to save a dog if Clark went and saved him that would expose him to the entire world.

Zod is still the best villain and the fight scenes are still the best ever.

Its top 3 not including Nolan's trilogy and top 5 including it.

I don't have a problem posting the ASM crane scene as an example of how badly it ruins Spider-Man and makes the entire rest of the movie shit by association.

The tornado scene somehow usurps that feeling and I don't even like Supes all that much.

Man of Steel tries to create it's own, conflicted Superman while simultaneously relying on the audience's familiarity with the more common, altruistic version to create undeserved gravitas.

I really liked the scene where Superman had to decide whether to sacrifice himself for humanity and he went to a church and there was a mural of Jesus in the background.

Insanely well-directed. So many layers.

The premise is he COULD save him but doing so would give away his powers.

Standing a few feet away from each other and awkwardly awaiting a tornado is not the approach they should have went with.

I mean, the original Superman is still pretty tits - it did more for the character and for the medium of film than Man of Steel did. And Spider-Man 2001 had more of a soul than Man of Steel, to the point where I would absolutely rank it higher.

Yeah, Returns was not a great flick.

I feel like Man of Steel's action scenes are few and far between, and kind of bland because of this stupid military focus with Detective Stabler and shit. It only gets particularly wild near the end. The last fight scene was pretty fantastic, even with the way they took the ending.

The most fascinating part of the tornado scene to me is that Superman's mom essentially gets his dad killed by subtly suggesting he crosses the path of a tornado to rescue their stupid dog, but the film never has her being remorseful for that, suggesting the people involved had no idea that this is a horribly thing to do.

He created a religion that lasted several millennia?

Also there was no way he was getting captured and dissected. They were aware of how powerful he was

The action in MoS is literally the best action in _any_ CBM. there's a YouTube video that edits out parts of the final fight so it's just the Superman vs Zod parts and just watching it is fucking incredible how well it was scripted and choreographed.
