10 Recent Movie Endings That Pissed Everyone Off

4. Man Of Steel (2013)

Buried Ending
Warner Bros.

Henry Cavill is a man plucked straight from all of our dreams and does a great job in looking every inch a Superman in Zak Synder's Man of Steel.

On the whole, Man of Steel is a much better film than most people give it credit for. Hans Zimmer's score is breathtaking at times, the visuals are more than solid, Cavill absolutely gives it his all in his debut performance and the darker dimensions are interesting if nothing else.

Man of Steel does have quite the reputation for its destruction however, coming in with one of the largest scaled final battles in Hollywood history with Superman and General Zod. It's this entire grand finale that people remember most about the film, and it's the reason why it makes it onto this list.

First off, Superman could have very easily moved his battle away from Metropolis, there was absolutely no reason for the whole city to be carpet bombed by the two beings. And then of course you have the decision for Superman to kill off Zod. It's understandable to some extent and definitely well within this darker Superman's arc, it's just so unsettling to see someone traditionally so upbeat and hopeful driven to an act like this.
