A minor quibble with the superman clip. A bullet wouldn't behave that way, even assuming superman is real. It's going as fast as a speeding bullet when it hits Supe's eye and flattens like a pancake. OK, I'll buy that. They have to show it in slow motion so us mere mortals can see it. But then it falls to the ground equally quickly, and the bad guy tilts his head down to track it as it falls. No way could the bad guy move his head that fast, and no way would the bullet drop that fast.

If this clip was internally consistent, you would see the bullet move slowly to Supe's eye, flatten and then hover there for a minute or so until gravity slowly started to pull it to the ground. The bad guy's head movement would be imperceptible.
