Favorite action sequence in Man of Steel

Perhaps some people saw the Avengers as more than just a CGI popcorn thrill ride.
Just saying. :yay:

Yep, and they are welcome to have that opinion and present arguments in support of it even though I do not share that opinion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I think that because The Avengers was light-hearted and fun and had a good amount of cheese, that it couldn't also have great depth and intelligence to it. Whedon made his name with Buffy doing just that and I was hoping he would do the same with The Avengers, but I don't think he did.

The point being that GremlinZilla's arguments were disrespectfully and insulting of the intelligence of those people with whom he disagreed. He reduced the arguments of the critics to straw men parodies of most of the actual commentary seen here, at least from old regulars.

I'd care to disagree. Avengers is witty, and the emotional depth comes from the CHARACTERS, not the plot. That being said, MOS seems to combine the emotional weight of Begins, with the menace of TDK, with a space opera backstory and a scale and comic sensibility rivaling and surpassing The Avengers.

If someone said MOS was the best superhero movie ever made, I wouldn't be offended.
 
one of my favorite scenes is in the bar. after the truck driver poured drink over clark's head, he was bound back when he tried to push clark away. clark looked at him in anger...
the moment is so f... cool.
clark has never been this cool!!! :D
i think it's a little tribute to SII! :D
 
It is so hard to choose one scene so I'll go with the whole movie. Phenomenal movie
 
My favorite continues to be the Smallville fight, specifically when Faora goes super speed on the soldiers. After the movie I looked at my wife and said, "That's how you would do the Flash."
 
Faora picking up Supes tossing him out of IHOP and right into the bank vault. It was so well done. The CGI seemed like no CGI at all.

Great stuff. Snyder is a visual genius.
 
I don't know if I've all ready said it before but i love when Zod upper cut Superman above the skyscraper.
