If there was a genuine attempt and Zod sees right through, fair play to the villain alright give me my epic throwdown.But Kal makes basically no effort, they just start throwing hands....killing hundreds if not thousands of people.EDIT: Actually just to doublecheck myself I went back and watched the clip with Kal vs Zod. And yeah the second the two start going at it, its actually Kal that goes straight for him and knocks him square into a building while onlookers are watching. Zero attempt to knock him in the air and away from civilians.Scene 2, Zod throws a tanker truck at him. Kal sidesteps it, letting it explode destroying another building.Scene 3, Kal is flying above a building, Zod actually starting running up the building towards him. Perfect chance for Kal to try and grab him and pull him up away from people. Nope, flies down and punches him, shockwave destroys another building.THAT is the problem with Man of Steel. I love the visceral fights of Man of Steel, they make Superman look epic and extremely badass. But there is no heart, this is not the superman that tries to save people, that is the beacon of hope. He's just a really tough thug. And that is what the new movie nailed so much better.</blockquote>
