Zed ain't a fool.

I found the Superman should have moved the fight somewhere disingenuous and hypocritical from the more vocal haters. If Clark tried that, Zod would have caught on quick and would have led to more death. Zod ain't a fool. Those same people making those complaints about Superman all of sudden clam up when Pacific Rim and Godzilla (2014) have similar situations. Or make pathetic excuses. I know Godzilla is a giant monster and force of nature, even though this incarnation tries avoid to as much damage as possible, he still causes a good amount, not all, of destruction.

You are right about the final battle scene. The scene is still awesome and is one of the best climatic battles displayed on film. I find this finale and Aquaman's better than most Marvel Studio films.

Godzilla is an animal, so he gets a free pass. Pacific Rim had people already evacuating to shelters from what I remember, so most of the city was kinda safe. It just seems kinda off when Superman was a bit more careful in the Smallville fight, but in Metropolis, he doesn't seem to faze when buildings full of people are collapsing. He told people to go back inside, but didn't seem to yell people to get away in the big city.

Also, I kinda wanted to see more fighting in space and other cities, rather than just Metropolis. Maybe fighting each other through mountains or something.

That was the sequel that had the underground shelters. The first movie did not have that. If a kaiju showed up near a town or city, the population is shit out of luck even with Jaegar's involved.

Not much he could do fighting a crazed and homicidal Zod. Plus, a lot of people are dazed, weakened, shocked, or heavily injured in a hugely wrecked Metropolis. There ain't much they can do than hope not to be in the same area as the Godlike men duking it out.

Not for me. This incarnation, and several others, is animal that can clearly think and is self aware.

Also, I kinda wanted to see more fighting in space and other cities, rather than just Metropolis. Maybe fighting each other through mountains or something.

Other cities would have been too distracting and unnecessary. It's the first movie, so it makes sense to be near Metropolis as to make it personal and have a little more stakes. The sequel could have gone to different areas to change things up.

No the original film had shelters for Kaiju attacks. There is that entre sequence where the scientist guy who jacked his brain into the Kaiju cell, is hiding with the other people in...was it Hong Kong? forget the city. But anyway, that whole sequence where they were looking for him, and specifically broke into the shelter to try and get at him. It was the equivalent to emergency raid bomb shelters from WW 2, granted, but they were specifically designed to be quick bolt holes, to try and secure as many civilians as possible when the warning of an attack was pending, since they had little to no warning. They had guards outside directing civilians on where to run, and then shut the doors behind them when they were at capacity.

You are both right, my mistake. The city is Hong Kong. That was where the 2nd half and last quarter of the film took place.

I actually thought that film did a really good job of showing the little ways that human society would likely adapt to the reality of "giant monsters attacking us." Things like how the skull of one was (I always assumed), left where it fell, and it became a spiritual/holy site for the religiously inclined. How the biological parts of the creatures would be studied, and found to have a use. Things like the bomb shelters for hiding when the emergency bells go off, etc. I really enjoyed that attention to detail, it felt way more lived in and believable than you get in a lot of similar style stories.
