10) Kal-EL did choose his destiny. He chooses to save Earth and that Krypton already had its chance.
9) General Zod flying was an epic scene. Looks at the face expression by Superman when he saw him fly and got called a farm boy. You really can't blame him for flying earlier when he doesn't even have 24 hours on Earth.
8) Who cares about temperature in a movie? Lois was the least interesting part of that scene. I was more focused on what Clark was doing.
7) Superman did care. Nobody died in Smallville and the Kryptonians and Military did more damage than he did. How the hell is he going to stop General Zod and other Kryptonians from tearing him apart. You think General Zod or Faora were interested in fighting somewhere else? Goku might pull that shit in DBZ but realistically no villain would care about the heroes worries. General Zod made it clear he was going to exterminate Earth.
6) General Zod already stated that they were out of resources and the fact that Kal-El was on Earth and lived healthy for that long and that Kryptonians were able to get used to Earth's atmosphere made Earth and no brainier when it comes to terraforming. Jor-El could have warned the council earlier? As a Superman fan you should know that in every origin Jor-El is never listened to. And if you watch the beginning again Jor-El clearly states that he had warned them about harvesting energy from the planet's core before.
5) A ship that is smart enough to have auto-defense, auto-repair system and maintain embryos can't create a simple suit? Once Kal-El put the key in Jor-El's essence was in control of the ship.
4) They took Lois because they were clearly hacking into Earth's sources and found out that Lois knew more about Kal-El than anyone on the planet. Of course eventually they found out that also his mom knew about him which is why they payed her a visit.
3) He had no choice but to kill General Zod. Zod made it clear that one of them will die in that battle. With both of ships gone there was no way to send Zod to the Phantom Zone, Zod was getting stronger by the minute and letting him escape would only bring more possibilities of the death in the future. On top of that General Zod was basically committing suicide and asking Kal-El to end him since he had no soul and purpose. I know where you are coming from but next movie will most likely focus on Superman's guilt for killing Zod and realizing that there is always a way. Zack Snyder and David Goyer set up the sequel perfectly.
2) General Zod clearly stated that it was a temporary weakness.
1) I do agree Clark could have saved Jonathan but the point they wanted to put across was that Jonathan would die to keep Clark's secret. I thought it could have been done better but it wasn't a horrible scene by any means.
10) He followed Jor-El's plan for him. Jor-El wanted him to be the bridge for a new kryptonian race but not at the expense of the humans.
9) Zod looked ridiculous lol Sorry but that scene had me crying from laughing so hard. Could have been done in a way more intimidating fashion.
8) Really? Even on the Smallville tv show everyone addresses the temperature by doing a simple shiver/or hand rub. Lets have some reality for something on EARTH, this movie was supposed to be a little grounded in reality. lol
7) Damage was fine because of the scenario but smallville people had to of died. No joke, it's not possible they didn't. The product placement in that scene made no sense. Smallville is a small country town but had such mainstream stores. Speaking as someone who has been in many small towns, those stores rarely exist especially together. (iHop, 711, Sears)
6) There was a colony on the moon...why didn't they go after earth sooner instead of starving to death? or get resources from earth? OR ANY OTHER PLANET they colonized near(not just the moon base)?
5) Why the hell is the ship there and no kryptonians survived it's landing? If the ship was still functioning why did no kryptonians take over earth back then? Or at least use it to get to a safe pace, not the frozen waste land. It was there 20,000yrs ago.
4) Lois on the ship was POINTLESS. They didn't care about humans, they were going to have a genocide anyway. They had Clark and mind scanned him. Lois was redundant and a pointless plot device. Hell use her to get Clark to do what you want, build some tension.
3) The Phantom Zone wasn't even another dimension prison, it was just an orbit near a blackhole. Why were they frozen with a ship that had the potential to be rewired to fly through space. If Jor-El did it once, clearly others were aware. Awful interpretation of the Phantom Zone.
ZOD HAD NO MOTIVATION. He was programmed to "Protect" Krypton at birth and like any other program protector he over did it. Shocking, so Zod was a one note villain as was Faora and the rest of the nameless Kryptonians.
2) Zod's power set and the kryptonians made no sense. They were super strong and crap but it didn't explain or even have a throw away line or scene explaining them adjusting(aside from zod's x-ray vision which was way later than their use of strength, semi-flight/super jumps). Or how about why they gained other abilities without the helmet? The helmet helped them breathe, that's it. The atmosphere is not where their powers come from, otherwise why would they have those shots of clark clearly laying in the sun to regain strength(he reaches out to the damn sun).
1) Jonathan was AWEFUL, what a total butchering of a straightforward character. Dear Clark, let your classmates die as long as your secret is safe. Don't save anyone just because you can, you might expose your secret. His death was just pointless and terrible. Clark without using crazy powers could have saved the dog. Atleast have him die trying to save a child trapped in a car, then have the strain of freeing said child trigger a heart attack. You know a heroic death is better than a pointless one. Also they made Jor-El more likable than Jonathan.
Jor-El was a BORN scientist, yet instead of using tech or chemicals to escape zod's forces he became a prize fighter =_= They clearly beat us over the head with the concept of being born to have only the ambition to do what you are assigned but contradicted it at every turn. How come no one had a real birth? Did they have abortions when they got pregnant? Did they not have sex? Were there pills to make sure no one got pregnant? Everything can be addressed with a simple line or snippet of a scene.
This movie was quite terrible from character development to the paper thin plot. The pacing...omg the pacing was ridiculous. The movie's tone wasn't even consistent.
Also WAY too much Crowe, it was over done
