Yup. LnC S1 wall-breaking is what I thought as well. The car in the teaser probably to me the worse SV has done on that FX, but you can tell since "Tomb" they have been saving on the budget for the finale. Remember how the heat vision looked right before "Commencement".

Yeah they were going on the cheap side before Commencement. Ageless and Forever had pretty shotty fx.Comment

Personally,
I still feel like the best effects shot they ever did was back in S1's Rogue when Clark stopped the bus. It looked realistic. In many of the other big effects spots whether it has been the leap of faith in Insurgence, the flight in Crusade, etc... It has been easy to tell that CGI was involved. But the bus stop was straight, to the point, and looked believeable. Definately the one that impressed me the most.
I would have to say that the tornado save in Vortex runs a close second in terms of my favorite effects sequences.Comment

My favorite effect has to be when Clark flew/jump to catch the rocket. That was just so cool when he was hanging on to it with one arm. It was clearly CGI but I thnk they pulled it off very well.Comment

gawd, yes!
I usually try to suspend disbelief when I see the CGI
I usually manage it, too
but when I saw the train smash into limo, my BF told me I said 'oh, come ON!'
I don't expect total realism, but I thought that effect was terrible, lol...Comment

The special effects weren't bad, but some attention to realism (i.e. the physics,) can help. Part of the fun in Superman is not in him using his powers straight on, but in how he uses his abilities to solve problems and catastrophies. In some of the Superman comics, they used to make a point of exactly this (that he did it this way and not that way because the other way would have made a serious problem.)
I hate seeing a stupid Superman whose only great in being ultra strong but who is only successful in using his powers because the writers say so, even if it defies physics.
So far, realism isn't very high in some of the episodes. I would prefer it that I don't put much effort in suspending my disbelieve.
