Has Transporter been mention, lots of martial arts in that.
Man of Steel was good I am surprised it got bad reviews!
Spiderman 2 was not good.
Avengers excellent can not wait for the next one.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
/man of Steel was Shit, snooze fest.
If it is to save you from banning yourself, I would for you mate! However, you give me TOO much credit LOL.
In full disclosure, I'm no a Spidey nor Supes fan. I didn't watch the Spidey movies, but did watch MOS sometime ago.
When Superman is fighting General Zod in their final fight, Superman was not really 'punches in bunches' - all of Superman's punches were what Bruce Lee called "Single Direct Attack", he has superspeed, he should be able to speed up his rhythm and throw a gazillion punches. Also Zod too. Movie fails on that front for me, however, if they fought at superspeed, we the viewers wouldn't even see them punching.
Superman threw an overhand right then a left shovel hook which Zod replies with a left 'ridge hand' to Superman's neck, and a followup right to the body which the force moves Superman back a few feet. To me boxing despite being a sport, is very useful and I call it a 'martial art'. However, Zod's 'ridge hand' is a genuine martial art technique
Check this vid, ~1:00 mark fight starts.
Did that help you not ban yourself Master? Hope so

Watched Shanghai Knights for the first time starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson which is fun caper. It also has Donnie Yen as a bad guy and they have a great fight scene in it.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Dragon is comming on film 4 this Friday, it looks amazing.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Watched Dragon and it is a good and clever film. It was a bit gory and not child friendly but martial arts fights were brilliant.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The Man with the Iron Fist deliberately cliche film mixing martial arts, magic, western cowboys and rap. The exaggerated fights and ridiculous story line make it a fun movie.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
