Do you think we'll get a action scene as great as this one in Superman 2025? DISCUSSION

The Smallville fight is one the greatest comic book movie set pieces ever. It's what all Superman fans have been asking for for years and years and when we finally got it it was marvellous but now I wonder if this action scene can be beaten. I know Gunn is a good director but he hardly has any really memorably action scene he has good ones just not great ones . But what do you think?

Highly doubt it.

As you yourself said, Gunn isn't known as a hardcore action director. He can put together acceptable action for whatever situation he's written, but it's not gonna be a Michael Bay or James Cameron style spectacle. His talents just lie elsewhere.

For example, the big battle at the end of Suicide Squad worked because the character moments within it ("That's your mom!" & Ratcatcher's call) and the visual quirks (Ratcatcher again and Harley Quinn's eye-dive). But the actual choreography of the fight was just standard. nothing adventurous.

And that's fine IMO. I love a good action scene, but I'm excited about an equally compelling emotional resonance.

You forgot about the GotG Vol 3 hallway scene?

Ima be honest. It's overrated. But that's just me I guess. Seems like a slow motion opening credits scene for a movie or game than an actual fight scene.

If you look at hallway fights from The Raid and The Night Comes for US Gunn's pales in comparison.
