Whoever came of with the script for MOS is horible. Imo MOS made Superman Returns look great. I would rather see a sequel to superman returns.

The Real Estate movie where Superman doesn't throw one punch? Cool.

Superman and zod crippled America, destroyed metropolis and and probably fricked up the earths rotation in less than an hour.

From the looks of the city, it set the area back a good 40+ years.

I was cringing during all of those scenes. Way too much damage.

estimates that some 129,000 people would have died so that Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon could finally punch each other, with another 250,000 going missing in the rubble, and nearly a million beyond that left injured.

The overall impact, estimated to be similar to an air burst from a 20kt nuclear explosion in terms of shock effects, but without the radiation or thermal effect. All told, the cost of the physical damage for the film’s third act is at $700 billion, with a total economic impact of around $2 trillion. And to put that in historical terms, 9/11 cost the relative chump-change of $55 billion in damages and $123 billion in economic impact.

You see Godzilla?

Leveled a Japanese city (actually, it looks like an entire prefecture).

Destroyed Honolulu
Destroyed Las Vegas
Destroyed San Francisco

No one bats an eye at "too much" destruction.

Man of Steel is one of my 5 favorite films of all time of any genre. I have probably seen it over 10 times. I will never understand how a living soul can not love this movie.

But the destruction isn't glossed over in Godzilla. It's well established that this is a mindless killing machine that kills millions. In MoS, Superman makes out with Lois Lane on top of corpses he indirectly helped create and someone asks Lois to a baseball game at the end of the movie as if nothing happened at all. Something tells me if this happened in real life, baseball would likely be the least of anybody's concern and most people would be shaking in fear underneath their table.

Come the frick on. So glad i can enjoy a movie without having thoughts like this. You sound like a blast to be around. Probably a Debbie downer type.

Stress creates odd responses. Supes just saved the world (wasn't aware of Zod still being around) and barely saved Lois. I can see a kiss there.

There's no indication of how much time has passed prior to that scene. While the gap is an omission on the filmmakers part, you cannot assume it is the next day.

I've always wondered why this is such a big deal in MOS, but no one seems to mind all the destruction in a movie like the Avengers.
