I'm just saying...it's happened before in film. What works in the comics doesn't necessarily translate to film all too well.

Well, it didn't work here. It's really as if a 13 year old directed and wrote this film. It's just really as if Snyder said "I'm going to destroy as many buildings as fricking possible and not worry about the ramifications of all the off screen people." It should bring up disturbing ramifications that I think the movie is completely blowing past by making it seem like most people think of Superman as a hero.

The only person's life that Superman saves really in this film are people in a school bus, people on an oil rig, Lois Lane, and 4 nameless people. Superman on the other hand pretty directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people. I wouldn't have so much of a problem with this if they didn't downplay the tragedy of it in the end, but it just seems as if in the end, everything is hunky dorey and that Superman saved the day... but he didn't. He ruined the day and almost led to the destruction of Earth and all mankind. This had no business being the first film in a trilogy, and that ending was just... Jesus.

It's going down another star thinking about it more.
