15 Worst Superhero Movie Moments Since 2000

15. Man Of Steel: Superman Kills Thousands Of People

Man of Steel was a very mixed bag of great visuals and atmosphere but poor writing and disappointing spectacle. The film's action sequences largely consisted of over-powered characters throwing each other through walls and even shortly after viewing it's difficult to remember anything about the film given that it was so repetitive and so empty.

In Man of Steel's painfully over-the-top finale, Superman and General Zod fight in Metropolis and throw each other through building after building... and literally destroy most of the city. In other words, Superman killed thousands of innocent people, which is pretty uncomfortable.

As well as this disturbing element, this entire finale is nothing but a tension-free exercise in CGI destruction and a reminder that making a set-piece bigger doesn't make it better.
