this. It seems like a simple point but one people keep missing.
What I do think though is that they should have at least tried to show him moving the battle or doing something to save some lives (just to help us connect with the character more).
I mean if you wanted that destruction because of the studio insisting upon action or whatever else, that's fine, but still you have to show there being an attempt at an alternative.
And this.
This move would've been more awesome and captured what makes Superman perfectly if he at least attempted to move the battle somewhere else. It doesn't have to be successful but an attempt would've made the movie even better and people wouldn't be complaining about this destruction.

And for the love of god, you don't have him making out with Lois with the city in smoldering ruins around him. That part was unforgivable (and stupid to boot)
I just fuking rolled my eyes at this.
That was so unbelievably cliche and campy/corny but it didn't ruin the movie. Superman should've been fricking upset and in despair over the destruction and a make out session should've been the last thing on his mind.

In Superman's defense. This was his first fight against intergalactic beings. He had just gone through what was probably the most stressful event of his life. When the battle is seemingly over, and you have a hot chick standing right in front of you who would like nothing more than to climb in bed with you, you might just forget about all of your cares for a moment and kiss her.

it didn't ruin, the movie but it did tarnish their version of Superman and more importantly, it ruined the Lois/Superman love story.
You ruined their first kiss on that??? You can make this movie showing that there's obviously a connection but what that connection is, is up for interpretation and clarified in movie 2 after a 'will they won't they?' scenario. That's how you tell love stories.
You don't have a character who moves the plot along and is there for inexplicable reasons kiss Superman after his brutal fight when he has work left to do.
It was just so poorly done in that regard that I still have a bad taste in my mouth. I love the movie, but I think it'll be hard for them to recover from that in the next movie.
