There is more of what makes Superman great in this three minute short than in all 143 minutes of Man of Steel. Is it too late to fire Zack Snyder and get these guys for the sequel?

Actually, the hurricane kick is "Tatsu Maki Senpu Kyaku".

Also: Is that Zack Morris as Ryu?

I wish he'd move on from these bits.

Zack Anner reminds me of this guy.

Did this guy remind anyone else of Zack Anner?

Yeah, at first glance it does look like a Zack Snyder film doesn't it. I would disagree that the presence of the supernatural automatically makes everything infantile though.

looks more like zack snyder.

We got John Woo/Zack Snyder levels of unnecessary slow-mo indulgence here.

Did I just watch a Zack Snyder movie?

And Mr. Belding, you couldn't even substitute for Mr. Hand.>> ^JiggaJonson:

Dear Zack Morris, Fast Times at Ridgemont High beat you to ordering a pizza in detention by a decade.

3 guys who randomly swear a lot... in Scotland? Seems the perfect country for them to fit in.

I'd like to see them get their own travel show where they take holiday to visit other places - lets make a list. Start with Vatican City. Perhaps Zack can join them.

Zack Snyder? Expect long boring... just what Superman needs. Holy hell, can't someone make an exciting superman movie for once? Gorram!

I wouldn't worry about the story side of things. David S Goyer and Christopher Nolan have written this film. Zack Snyder is just directing it.

Superman?
A boring character with almost no vulnerabilities and no interesting character traits.
Zack Synder?
Technically competent but artistically bankrupt. Don't believe me? See what he comes up with when he doesn't have two of the biggest names in comics writing for him. Derivative, immature and vaguely creepy (and not in a good way).
Will have to do a lot better after the Avengers (solid action, genuinely funny script) and the Dark Knight Rises (visually stunning with real emotive weight).

I loved The Avengers. Bright, colourful, uncomplicated superheroes having fun. The story was very simple but that was needed to allow room for all the characters to breath and interact. As you say a nice script and some good lines.
It's much more my cup of tea than the foreboding, depressing Dark Knight films.


I loved every minute of both The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises.

Also, have to disagree with wtih @ChaosEngine about Zack Synder. He simply can't write, but he can sure as shit direct and has such a fantastic eye for visuals. Not every director should be able to write, as long as they can take good material and make something excellent from it, which he has done, multiple times.
