I dislike shaky cam anyway... :-)<br /><br />My husband made the point that Superman and Zod were flying through buildings and such and there's absolutely no way they weren't killing innocent people on the way. Soo... Superman had already murdered at that point. :-)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490759375036511747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955954018540213523.post-14559083665599852452013-07-18T12:22:40.500-07:002013-07-18T12:22:40.500-07:00Oh, my gosh, so true!

And then the "big" moment when Superman kills Zod by twisting his head, I thought, "Well, why didn't he do that sooner? How many people died in all the buildings being blown up, and yet when it comes down to it, the 'reason' is so he can save people?" Someone told me later that Superman doesn't kill, which is what made this moment "shocking"--but that isn't introduced in the movie. I actually enjoyed most of the movie up until the end. ***Actually, there was one scene that drove me nuts: Clark and his Earth dad are having a heart to heart conversation and the shaky cam was very pronounced.

This made sense. Only after the other baddies slammed into earth, they immediately had the same powers, and knew how to fly without even trying. They didn't do that on Krypton, so why did it suddenly come naturally to General Zod when Clark had to practice so hard? I groaned at how long the fight scenes went on, and silently cursed the writers for not having good beta readers!
