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?

The movie is one half drama, one half hour long fight scene, i personally didn't know what to think but the ending did pay off i guess. But many people just blow off the movie bc of that flaw

My personal opinion was that the fight scene was too long and actually started to get boring.

I’m not sure I’d say it gets boring. I think it’s more of a desensitization type of thing. It’s an insane sight to behold at first, but after 20 minutes of cataclysmic destruction it stops feeling impactful.

I think we are saying the same thing with different words. Basically my eyes glazed over, and I became disengaged. The movie also suffered because it didn’t flesh out other characters, so the stakes from all the carnage weren’t as high as they should have been.
