@@dani4157 It's a rule for comedy--characters don't laugh at their own situations. Doing so makes for an asinine, cheap joke that breaks the audience's immersion.
I just couldn't stop laughing after the slight bell noise of superman hitting the steel bars as I re watched that one, I sounded like Muttley from losing my mind
The music in the fight is really top notch. Really conveys the struggle of Superman fighting Zod, but also the tragedy of him basically fighting against the last of his people.
To this day, the best fight in a comic book film. This movie has some of the best action sequences in any film actually. Only Snyder himself could top it. I also love that it's great action paired with great characterizations, drama and depth. MoS is underrated for sure.
So true. I think Man Of Steel gets shafted and lowballed by many people for literally no reason. It’s a solid 8/10 for me 👍🏽. The action scenes are incredible.
The fact they made this movie and reduced to move forward with another project with Cavill made me realize there's something sketch about DC releasing anything other than batman. Almost like some dynamic is ALWAYS screwing over project.🤷🏾♂️
So, when Christopher Reeves' Superman kills General Zod and smiles about it, everyone is okay with it. But, when Henry Cavil's Superman kills Zod then screams out in anguish that he took a life the last of his kind no less, everyone has a problem with it?
Mikeman Jordan Superman and Zod aren’t invincible. They’re invulnerable to most forms of attacks. Kryptonite and magic weakens them to the point they can die. They can be killed by physical attacks too. They just have to be powerful enough to do it. Superman has died by getting his ass kicked numerous times
I mean I'm with Batman on this one. You literally have an alien superhero playing God on your planet, could you imagine if that "alien superhero" goes AWOL. That's why Batman needed to end him one way or another before it's too late.
Arguably the most underrated Superhero Movie of our generation. I grew up watching and enjoying the Reeves Superman but Cavill's iteration is up there in greatness as well. I'm disappointed that there isn't a Man of Steel 2 because I would liked to have seen which direction this Superman would've taken with the proper writting and direction.
The people don't watching it in 4k. That's why. And they rarely giving a chance to a new movie because of the bad reputation of Hollywood. So much cliche, propaganda, lies and stupid narratives.

@@khalilsart8189 I watched a video recently that is a Superman vs Goku and who would win. It was explained that Superman would win because he is much faster than Goku and he has unlimited stamina. Also Superman is smart and can figure out what Goku is capable of by just looking at him
@@TheFlash-je3bl agreed but in terms of combat speed and battle intelligence goku is far superior due to martial arts training and ultra instinct but supes is more durable and much faster and has far more greater strength
He learns martial arts as he gets older. In comics he knows Kryptonian martial arts and other forms of fighting that he learned from batman and Wonder Woman. He primarily trained with Mongul Jr and he also done some boxing training with wildcat.
Superman vs Zod: the light side vs the dark side of Krypton, democracy vs dictatorship, freedom vs tyranny, salvation vs destruction, humility vs self entitlement, tolerance vs fanaticism. Both men are essentially mirrors of each other: Both are Kryptonians, but where Superman perfectly synergies the best aspects of Earth and Krypton, Zod waxes nostalgia over Krypton's more militaristic, violent and competitive past. Superman was born naturally and eventually evolved into a protector, while Zod was genetically engineered and being a soldier at heart, sees no need to empathize with and help the weak. Both call upon their heritage, but where Superman uses it to protect and help others, Zod uses it as his right to rule them with an iron fist. In short, Zod is a much more arrogant and self entitled Superman and is what the latter could have become if he gives into self righteousness.
Man, I must be getting old, because concerning myself with how much damage is being done to the city, and how much it'll cost is taking me out of the fantasy.

Bear face true but zod didn’t evolve enough u have to remember too Supes had 2 like 2 and a half decades of breeding with the sun while zod and the rest of the kryptonians were always under the red sun
Honestly Zod would have won. They could knock either of each other out and regenerate later. But I wouldn't say fight forever. Zods experience in this fight was immense. He accomplished feats superman took his entire life to master

This fight scene is way better than any superhero movie fight scene period. Better than Endgame's finale. Very accurate, no unnecessary quipping to kill the seriousness of the fight, hard hitting, beautiful soundtrack
@Anderson Dalmeus The Marvel Universe is awesome, though. The heroes in those movies always managed to save the day without killing, unlike Snyder's Superman.
zhengyingli Watch civil war. In the scene where their in a meeting and the nations agreed that the avengers should have rules because of how many people die during their fights. Then they show people’s recordings of people dying and stuff
@Anderson Dalmeus dream world was the old Superman movie where nothing really happened, America was perfect and Superman always smiled. I always roll my eyes when ppl yearn to go back to that Superman.
Any action sequence with two Kryptonians fighting is going to be this destructive and on such a large scale. Unless you're a twee nostalgia hound hoping that it's going to be a polite 'pistols at dawn' affair. Some of the best and most believable action in cbms considering the power levels of the combatants.
Um... but he could at least show some concern about it, like how Ironman cared when fighting against Hulk. He could at least try to take the fight to somewhere empty (like Goku would) (not saying he has to successfully do that, just try), or take a few hits to safe some people (since nothing on Earth even scratches him apparently), like that gas truck for example. But nope, let's just punch and throw stuff at each other, don't mind the people you're trying to protect in the first place. I mean seriously, for the whole movie, he never even looked at the civilians unless it's some soldier men or when it's convenient.
I just wish they had shown superman caring for the people on the ground, like if they just had one shot of superman protecting people from falling rubble or something people wouldn't hate on this so much
Superman has to hold back his entire life.. Otherwise he cannot be Clark Kent anymore.. Using only "human" strength.. Focusing on not using his heat vision.. And so on.. If Superman does not really hold back.. He is unstoppable
@Ryan Mcflyy But dude i didnt mean what ur thinking of. This was a real superhuman fight like Dragon Ball if u watched it before zod fight isnt even a combat hand to hand they use super-supernatural powers we cant expect they will do dodges or something cool like in the WS fight. Like we cant compare which fight is better 2 heavyweight boxers or 2 kung fu masters or 2 wrestlers idk U may say then why did i said that this is better than any other marvel movie fight right? I said cause its hard ya know that CGI in 2013 bruh outclasses the first avengers movie tops every other superhero movies in that years i cant still see any fight made harder and looked better than that Thor vs Hulk was garbage
If Zack snyder and Christopher Nolan collaborated on Batman vs superman, the mcu would be a non-factor. That would be on realistic action packed, mind bending experience
I don't care what people say. Man of Steel is the greatest Superman movie ever, and every time I watch, it makes me sad 😥😢😭 that we never got the DCEU Zack Snyder invisioned.
@@mikeamber2528 Let's say , consider game or anime action scenes , why do you think those movies are a flop when live action , main reason is fighting scenes aren't realistic . Warner bros has experience with heavy cgi action . Disney can never do this especially when they are not well experienced in this field. Edit : Detective Pikachu , though not that great but still entertaining to watch , cgi scenes are very thrilling in it . If an dbz movie is going to come out , the production company has to be the best cgi action scenes producing type.
I love the argument that you see a lot 'Why doesn't he take the fight away from the city'. What's to stop Zod from just flying right back to Metropolis and killing more civilians? This is Clark's first actual fight with people as strong as he is too which is something people don't really take into consideration.
@@henrynguyen6437 Actually he just wants to make superman suffer. Physical(pounding on him/killing him) Emotional(Making it explicitly clear he was going to make the Humans suffer)
@@henrynguyen6437 Why so aggressive? His ultimate goal was to ensure the continuation of his species, and to do so he had to wipe out the inhabitants of earth, but superman made that impossible when he destroyed the world engine Before they clash Zod explicitly says"I will make them suffer" Superman took away his purpose for living. Zod says as much and now wants to take something from suparman. So that is very much hurting him emotionaly. Later he says:" There is only one way this ends Kal, either you die, or I do." Hurting him physically. And please elaborate why you think what I just said is false because this is very much what the final fight conveyed.
Mark my words guys and gals, this film will one day get its due. One day it will be seen for the amazing piece of work it is. Clark has never had a fight in his life... He would definitely move the fight out of the city in the future. It is such a bloody shame Henry has been fucked over royally by WB... What a cast... From GORGEOUS Diane Lane to the Becca reading Michael Shannon to, and i mean this, the best Superman/Clark/Kal(yes they are three different roles) actor ever in Henry Cavill... This was such a fantastic movie it will one day get its day in the sun
yeah probably. MCU Thanos with no gauntlet is still pretty strong, stronger than Hulk, but he wouldn’t be able to keep up with Superman’s speed or be able to defend himself/counter Superman’s heat vision. So id say Superman wins relatively fast. But if we’re talking about comic book versions, than this fight is a looooot closer. Comic book Thanos even without the gauntlet has beaten the shit outta Thor, Hulk, Silver Surfer, held his own against Odin and injured Galactus. He has Superhuman strength, durability, and energy manipulation powers that he can omit from his hands, even without the stones. In the comics, Thanos is on the level of the Skyfathers in terms of power. He’s extremely powerful. And EXTREMELY smart. As for Superman, well, I’ll keep is brief. Superman’s abilities consist of: flight, superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super-speed, enhanced hearing, nigh-invulnerability, enhanced healing, electromagnetic vision, telepathy, enhanced energy absorption, telekinesis, enhanced memory, enhanced learning, ventriloquism, energy manipulation, mind control, microscopic vision, and even intangibility. And this isn’t all of it. Superman has a LOT of tricks up his sleeve, definitely more than Thanos, but is still MORE than a worthy opponent to him. I think I’d have Superman winning because he has more powers to use against Thanos. The main ones are obviously his many mind powers and his super speed. Comic book Thanos while having an extremely quick reacting time wouldn’t be able to keep up with Superman at his tops speeds. I only see Thanos maybe winning because I think that he’s smarter than Superman, but Superman is also really smart and I don’t think that Thanos would even have time to come up with a plan to beat him without supes figuring it out. The Universe that this fight takes place in is also important because if in the DC universe Thanos with Kryptonite would 100% beat Superman. But if in the Marvel Universe Superman wins in a close fight.
People tell they don't like change in characters however in the MCU Spiderman was reduced to the form of an AI suit wearing protege of Tony Stark, The Mandarin - one of the greatest Marvel villains - was a wasted opportunity, Civil War was a hilariously small event, Age of Ultron was more like Week of Ultron and Marvel fans are ok with that, but then Zack created a pretty much very faithful depiction of Superman everyone jumped at him for "ruining" the character, the movie being too dark, not enough color, Sups not running around all the time saving people and other bullcrap.
@Prince Raj maybe u don't understand what i meant, but the above comment means that i like dc because of above reasons i mentioned and the reason u gave made me love dc all over again.... I do like intense fight not the fights where Nat died and after sometime Racoon cracked a sick joke...
Just truly beautiful and epic. Music, action, acting, all of it. Fantastic. This is what a superhero action scene should look like. Zack Snyder is the new standard.
One thing that really stood out is that Superman needed to end the fight as soon as possible. The only thing Superman had over Zod was more experience with his powers, and intially, the advantage of flight. Zod was clearly a quick learner and got the hang of heat vision and flight rapidly. If he had time to master all his powers he would be outmatched by Zod.
If we went to a alien planet where the gravity and the people are weak. We will be able to lift heavy weights there and look strong. That doesn’t mean us humans are “gods”. Humans can even fly in the titan (Jupiter’s moon). Same goes for kryptonians. They are just adapted to the heavier gravity of krypton which is why they fly and can lift heavy heavy weights on earth. They are not gods.
Nemenis not really. That would be a scientific term, but that’s not how kryptonians work. But their powers come from the solar radiation of the sun. That means they would be just as strong on other planets, even if the gravity is the same as their home planet or even greater. They would still be the equivalent to gods
This shows how powerful and unstoppable Superman is! I don't know why people underestimate him and says that some noobs like Thor and Hulk can defeat him. These guys were not even able to defeat thanos how can they defeat the most powerful man in the universe? Lol you need to study Superman before saying anything after him!
Lol then wtf you want to tell about batman vs superman. If he can defeat him why can't they. Stop making stupid comments and get your f##king facts right. They could also beat Superman. We never got to experience a fight between them. So shut the F#ckup for now noob
THIS is how you depict the swift brutality of two demigods fighting. The destruction is immense and unforgiving. Zack Snyder has set the standard for superhero combat
2:12 when Superman hits the Sign that say there where no accidents for 106 days, the 1 and the 6 fall of and only the 0 is left. I love taht level of detail.
@Conrad Kujur Toei Animation lacks CGI Production and in a massive scale and they lack of taking actors who can fit the character role perfectly. They don't even understand that they're Asian Actors are just fit for the character role in their realistic movies and don't understand that Hollywood is full of such actors.
Zod with those uppercuts though......... I believe Zod wanted to die. Compare his fighting style to Kal’s. Zoos fighting style was way more impactful and extreme. If you pay close attention, he actually let Superman have his way sort of. He would hit him hard with a few combination attacks, then let him have his way for long periods of time as if he were trying to lead him somewhere. Then that scene in the station at the end. There are worse things than death itself, for instance living with the blood of a dozen souls staining your soul without a single lapse of peace knowing you could’ve saved those people. Take that agony, and multiply it times the amount of failures you accumulate in life/opportunities blown/life’s curve balls. What you’ve got is engineered self doubt held within a man( or being) all sparked by the flame of guilt from not being able to stop innocent people from dying. Zod used the same strategy that The Joker used in The Dark Knight, and considering the events of TDKR and BVS they both were actually successful if you really think about it.
@@TonyG8992 I do think he was suicidal. His speech before the fight that saving Krypton was his only reason to live, that Kal has taken his very soul from him (his comrades, his family, are also gone) so he didn’t want to live anymore. The thing is, how was he going to commit suicide? They don’t seem to know about Kryptonite. So making Kal kill him was the only way. And fighting with him will hurt Kal too, and he can witness people dying around him, maybe even fall on their heads himself, which is what happened a and caused the events of BvS (not always explicitly shown as this is a PG-13 movie, but that’s what’s implied). Killing all humans wasn’t his “main” goal, he just said that to push him (there are multiple instances where he keeps pushing him - “there is only one way this ends”). Anyway, this is my interpretation.
I can't believe people hate this movie and this fight. What does people want when two beings with god-like strength and durability will fight with each other in a city? Just leaves falling down from plants and trees? Destruction and death of civilians is obvious in this kind of fights. Why people can't accept the reality and sensible things? This movie is a masterpiece in every aspect, it's even much better than many popular movies which aren't comic-book/superhero movies.

@Anderson Dalmeus The Marvel Universe is awesome, though. The heroes in those movies always managed to save the day without killing, unlike Snyder's Superman.
@Anderson Dalmeus That's cool.

Any action sequence with two Kryptonians fighting is going to be this destructive and on such a large scale. Unless you're a twee nostalgia hound hoping that it's going to be a polite 'pistols at dawn' affair. Some of the best and most believable action in cbms considering the power levels of the combatants.
Tony Wicks - C2D4 Comics well said
Um... but he could at least show some concern about it, like how Ironman cared when fighting against Hulk. He could at least try to take the fight to somewhere empty (like Goku would) (not saying he has to successfully do that, just try), or take a few hits to safe some people (since nothing on Earth even scratches him apparently), like that gas truck for example. But nope, let's just punch and throw stuff at each other, don't mind the people you're trying to protect in the first place.
I mean seriously, for the whole movie, he never even looked at the civilians unless it's some soldier men or when it's convenient.
Kryptonian Superpowers Can cause destruction
Damn. I wish Superman was actually the last living kryptonian😭
I just wish they had shown superman caring for the people on the ground, like if they just had one shot of superman protecting people from falling rubble or something people wouldn't hate on this so much
this goes to show he was holding back the entire time. Superman wanted to subdue him, but he had to go there and boom, he dead.
Superman has to hold back his entire life.. Otherwise he cannot be Clark Kent anymore.. Using only "human" strength.. Focusing on not using his heat vision.. And so on.. If Superman does not really hold back.. He is unstoppable
The real superhuman fight. Better than any Marvel fight in movies. Sayin dat as a Marvel fan.
Me too
@Ryan Mcflyy Lol not even close dude its just different they hit with sonic boom how the frick u compare by what its not a combat
@Ryan Mcflyy But dude i didnt mean what ur thinking of. This was a real superhuman fight like Dragon Ball if u watched it before zod fight isnt even a combat hand to hand they use super-supernatural powers we cant expect they will do dodges or something cool like in the WS fight. Like we cant compare which fight is better 2 heavyweight boxers or 2 kung fu masters or 2 wrestlers idk
U may say then why did i said that this is better than any other marvel movie fight right? I said cause its hard ya know that CGI in 2013 bruh outclasses the first avengers movie tops every other superhero movies in that years i cant still see any fight made harder and looked better than that Thor vs Hulk was garbage

I’ve streamed it this past week to pay my respects to the Snyderverse
If ever dbz gets a live action movie again,that should be on the level of this fight sequence
Lol you're right , only warner bros could make that a reality , all other companies will ruin it.
@@SDFutureMusic what good has Warner Brothers done to prove that?
@@mikeamber2528 Let's say , consider game or anime action scenes , why do you think those movies are a flop when live action , main reason is fighting scenes aren't realistic . Warner bros has experience with heavy cgi action .
Disney can never do this especially when they are not well experienced in this field.
Edit : Detective Pikachu , though not that great but still entertaining to watch , cgi scenes are very thrilling in it . If an dbz movie is going to come out , the production company has to be the best cgi action scenes producing type.
mike amber they made this movie to prove that
Yeah, let’s not do that and keep Dragonball animated
I love the argument that you see a lot 'Why doesn't he take the fight away from the city'.
What's to stop Zod from just flying right back to Metropolis and killing more civilians? This is Clark's first actual fight with people as strong as he is too which is something people don't really take into consideration.
exactly. people think zod wants to kill superman when his true goal is kill off the human species of earth.
@@henrynguyen6437 Actually he just wants to make superman suffer. Physical(pounding on him/killing him)
Emotional(Making it explicitly clear he was going to make the Humans suffer)
@@sir-_-smith9949 wtf it’s like you didn’t even watch the damn movie.
@@henrynguyen6437 Why so aggressive?
His ultimate goal was to ensure the continuation of his species, and to do so he had to wipe out the inhabitants of earth, but superman made that impossible when he destroyed the world engine
Before they clash Zod explicitly says"I will make them suffer" Superman took away his purpose for living. Zod says as much and now wants to take something from suparman. So that is very much hurting him emotionaly. Later he says:" There is only one way this ends Kal, either you die, or I do." Hurting him physically.
And please elaborate why you think what I just said is false because this is very much what the final fight conveyed.
I think that in this moment 2:26 Superman was trying to take Zod out of the city
Man of Steel is the best Dragon Ball movie ever..
One of the best superhero films ever made
I only have one complain about this fight, and is that I wish it was longer
I can't get enough of Superman, I love this movie so much!
Never figured how Louis got to that building so fast.
She is a key i guess
If only DBZ movie had Snyder in director's seat...
Can you imagine how fucking awesome the fighting scenes would be?
oqghr
Mark my words guys and gals, this film will one day get its due. One day it will be seen for the amazing piece of work it is. Clark has never had a fight in his life... He would definitely move the fight out of the city in the future. It is such a bloody shame Henry has been fucked over royally by WB... What a cast... From GORGEOUS Diane Lane to the Becca reading Michael Shannon to, and i mean this, the best Superman/Clark/Kal(yes they are three different roles) actor ever in Henry Cavill... This was such a fantastic movie it will one day get its day in the sun
This movie was ahead of its time.
imagine, you time travelled into the 70s and 80s bringing this movie and playing it into the theater, people would loose their minds.
Dead serious
The time line will get destroyed tho
Only because of the special effects, and that could apply to any CGI-filled movie from today. Man of Steel isn’t special.
Zod kills thanos very easily. Greatness
@TheCatGuy yep. superman kills thanos before he gets the gauntlet. it would be an incredible fight.
yeah probably. MCU Thanos with no gauntlet is still pretty strong, stronger than Hulk, but he wouldn’t be able to keep up with Superman’s speed or be able to defend himself/counter Superman’s heat vision. So id say Superman wins relatively fast. But if we’re talking about comic book versions, than this fight is a looooot closer. Comic book Thanos even without the gauntlet has beaten the shit outta Thor, Hulk, Silver Surfer, held his own against Odin and injured Galactus. He has Superhuman strength, durability, and energy manipulation powers that he can omit from his hands, even without the stones. In the comics, Thanos is on the level of the Skyfathers in terms of power. He’s extremely powerful. And EXTREMELY smart. As for Superman, well, I’ll keep is brief. Superman’s abilities consist of: flight, superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super-speed, enhanced hearing, nigh-invulnerability, enhanced healing, electromagnetic vision, telepathy, enhanced energy absorption, telekinesis, enhanced memory, enhanced learning, ventriloquism, energy manipulation, mind control, microscopic vision, and even intangibility. And this isn’t all of it. Superman has a LOT of tricks up his sleeve, definitely more than Thanos, but is still MORE than a worthy opponent to him. I think I’d have Superman winning because he has more powers to use against Thanos. The main ones are obviously his many mind powers and his super speed. Comic book Thanos while having an extremely quick reacting time wouldn’t be able to keep up with Superman at his tops speeds. I only see Thanos maybe winning because I think that he’s smarter than Superman, but Superman is also really smart and I don’t think that Thanos would even have time to come up with a plan to beat him without supes figuring it out. The Universe that this fight takes place in is also important because if in the DC universe Thanos with Kryptonite would 100% beat Superman. But if in the Marvel Universe Superman wins in a close fight.

Zack Snyder: Hold my bear
Zack Snyder is always ahead of his time 🥺
People tell they don't like change in characters however in the MCU Spiderman was reduced to the form of an AI suit wearing protege of Tony Stark, The Mandarin - one of the greatest Marvel villains - was a wasted opportunity, Civil War was a hilariously small event, Age of Ultron was more like Week of Ultron and Marvel fans are ok with that, but then Zack created a pretty much very faithful depiction of Superman everyone jumped at him for "ruining" the character, the movie being too dark, not enough color, Sups not running around all the time saving people and other bullcrap.
Let's sink it that people don't like dark, mysterious, mature, rational, logical themes still stuck into the kids level. DC is deep
@Prince Raj maybe u don't understand what i meant, but the above comment means that i like dc because of above reasons i mentioned and the reason u gave made me love dc all over again.... I do like intense fight not the fights where Nat died and after sometime Racoon cracked a sick joke...

Zod's heat vision: Slowly encloses on the people
The people: Just stands there like a sitting duck.
In life and death situation. the brain just stop working.Some people get stunned when they see death infront of their eyes because they are not ready.

MCU battle scenes are a joke compared to Superman's battle, This is epic and Godlike battle which can be compared to dragonball.
Yep👍
More like Godzilla fights.
This scene is comparable to shakitman fight scene
2:25 DAT SPEED BRUH
i love that shot
Yeah.. But It can be much faster
Isn't this the inspiration for injustice 2 supermove?
Just truly beautiful and epic. Music, action, acting, all of it. Fantastic. This is what a superhero action scene should look like. Zack Snyder is the new standard.
The music accompanying the action sequence from 3:16 to 3:50 is simply glorious.
Han Zimmer, legend
interestingly enough its the same score that played when Superman killed Doomsday in BvS
One thing that really stood out is that Superman needed to end the fight as soon as possible. The only thing Superman had over Zod was more experience with his powers, and intially, the advantage of flight. Zod was clearly a quick learner and got the hang of heat vision and flight rapidly. If he had time to master all his powers he would be outmatched by Zod.
Let's not forget to give credit to Jay Oliva as well. He worked with Snyder as the Storyboard Artist on creating these amazing action scenes.
Culte! One of the best super hero film!
Say what you want, I know you're a French speaker
Fight of gods
If we went to a alien planet where the gravity and the people are weak. We will be able to lift heavy weights there and look strong. That doesn’t mean us humans are “gods”. Humans can even fly in the titan (Jupiter’s moon). Same goes for kryptonians. They are just adapted to the heavier gravity of krypton which is why they fly and can lift heavy heavy weights on earth. They are not gods.
Nemenis not really. That would be a scientific term, but that’s not how kryptonians work. But their powers come from the solar radiation of the sun. That means they would be just as strong on other planets, even if the gravity is the same as their home planet or even greater. They would still be the equivalent to gods
Injustice GODS AMONG US.
This shows how powerful and unstoppable Superman is! I don't know why people underestimate him and says that some noobs like Thor and Hulk can defeat him. These guys were not even able to defeat thanos how can they defeat the most powerful man in the universe? Lol you need to study Superman before saying anything after him!
Lol then wtf you want to tell about batman vs superman. If he can defeat him why can't they. Stop making stupid comments and get your f##king facts right. They could also beat Superman. We never got to experience a fight between them. So shut the F#ckup for now noob

Imagine thinking Thor is a noob 😂 Even Hela would take these two out.
THIS is how you depict the swift brutality of two demigods fighting. The destruction is immense and unforgiving. Zack Snyder has set the standard for superhero combat
2:12 when Superman hits the Sign that say there where no accidents for 106 days, the 1 and the 6 fall of and only the 0 is left. I love taht level of detail.
This movie is better than 99% of MCU movies
Although I am a bigger fan of marvel...I do agree. Many Marvel movies are overrated anyways.

At the time you wrote this comment MCU had 23 movies, so how can that be 99%?

this is the one of the most epic battle on superhero movies..i never knew its so amazing
its like Goku vs Vegeta... amazing

Seriously your comparing that Trash Anime to this Masterpiece. Let's not do that. I mean for real.
@Conrad Kujur Toei Animation lacks CGI Production and in a massive scale and they lack of taking actors who can fit the character role perfectly. They don't even understand that they're Asian Actors are just fit for the character role in their realistic movies and don't understand that Hollywood is full of such actors.

@@tedmccarthy5916 fuck up u piece of shit dbz is mean
Kal-El did what he had to do. I respect that and wish that on every Superman comic from here on out. Kal, do what needs to be done.
This is the greatest fight in DCU with Bats vs Supes at a close 2nd.
If only Snyder could direct a DBZ movie next 🤞
This scene alone make infinity war battle looks like a childplay.

Why cut out the armor tearing part
2:55 NO CAPES!
EXACTLY!!!
Edna Mode........and guest
الحين ينكبوني
يمشي ويسأل
look properly there is a cape on superman
Zod with those uppercuts though.........
I believe Zod wanted to die. Compare his fighting style to Kal’s. Zoos fighting style was way more impactful and extreme. If you pay close attention, he actually let Superman have his way sort of. He would hit him hard with a few combination attacks, then let him have his way for long periods of time as if he were trying to lead him somewhere. Then that scene in the station at the end. There are worse things than death itself, for instance living with the blood of a dozen souls staining your soul without a single lapse of peace knowing you could’ve saved those people. Take that agony, and multiply it times the amount of failures you accumulate in life/opportunities blown/life’s curve balls. What you’ve got is engineered self doubt held within a man( or being) all sparked by the flame of guilt from not being able to stop innocent people from dying. Zod used the same strategy that The Joker used in The Dark Knight, and considering the events of TDKR and BVS they both were actually successful if you really think about it.
Deep
WTF Zod was not suicidal, but he even if it costed his life, he was gonna kill as many people as he could have.
@@TonyG8992 I do think he was suicidal. His speech before the fight that saving Krypton was his only reason to live, that Kal has taken his very soul from him (his comrades, his family, are also gone) so he didn’t want to live anymore. The thing is, how was he going to commit suicide? They don’t seem to know about Kryptonite. So making Kal kill him was the only way. And fighting with him will hurt Kal too, and he can witness people dying around him, maybe even fall on their heads himself, which is what happened a and caused the events of BvS (not always explicitly shown as this is a PG-13 movie, but that’s what’s implied). Killing all humans wasn’t his “main” goal, he just said that to push him (there are multiple instances where he keeps pushing him - “there is only one way this ends”). Anyway, this is my interpretation.
sad how we will no longer see Henry Cavil as superman, but we should still be happy about this movie
After streaming it this past week I see what you mean.
I can't believe people hate this movie and this fight.
What does people want when two beings with god-like strength and durability will fight with each other in a city? Just leaves falling down from plants and trees?
Destruction and death of civilians is obvious in this kind of fights. Why people can't accept the reality and sensible things?
This movie is a masterpiece in every aspect, it's even much better than many popular movies which aren't comic-book/superhero movies.
It’s all super powered brutality and CGI flexing and little heart.
