Jor-el falling off the ledge to have a flying beast swoop under him, stolen from LotR
What's wrong with that?

The whole Krypton imagery and destruction straight out of Star Trek
Not really, it was more of a generic advanced alien society.
quote:
That it took years for Clark to master superpowers, yet Zod did it in 24 hours
Superpowers for Kryptonians take time to manifest and get to full strength. So essentially yes, Clark had to wait until he was an adult to fully master his superpowers. So naturally since Zod was already an adult when arrived on earth, it was no problem for him.
The show smallville was based around this concept. Clark didn't learn to fly until the series finale.
quote:
The death of Jonathan Kent. He raised his son to be there for the world, but he was willing to abandon his own wife, just so Clark could keep his secret a few years longer
That's what any good parent would do. The child comes before the spouse.
quote:
The ease of snapping Zods neck, vs the fight with the girl and the big guy was a stalemate until she was hit by a manmade weapon
Two superpowered kryptonians fighting is like two human beings fighting each other. I thought that concept would be easy to understand.
quote:
The illogical destruction of Smallville and Metropolis. Super was indoctrinated to not allow that to happen
Actually destruction like that happens on the reg in the comics and cartoons so it's par for the course.
quote:
The whole Jor-el communication abilities. Creepy
What's creepy about it? I thought it was pretty damn good. I just wish Lara was a hologram as well so Kal-El could meet his mother as well.
quote:
The whole Perry White storyline?
What? You racist or something?

Lois falling for Clark first, before he was Super
This movie is supposed to be something new for a new generation and I don't mind it at all.
Put simply, you don't know shite about Superman or have even basic comic book knowledge.

This critique is really a reach. It's not hard to understand. They're effected by crashing into buildings or having an oil rig crash on top of them but they're so strong it's just like a strong punch to you or I. To each other, their strengths equal out and they can inflict the equivalent damage.

Uh, you missed the whole point.
The girl and big guy weren't super powered. They were in protective suits!!!
And Supe couldn't dent either suit with his superpowers, yet a piece of man made metal can knock her suit offline and render her helpless, which ends the destruction of Smallville
And yet when the big guy is smashed into a train, at a higher velocity than the bullet, with a ton more metal than the bullet, his suit is not even dented
Biggest load of shite in any movie I've seen in a long while.

Shouldn't everyone know the real identity of Superman now anyway?
I mean Zod and his crew went to Smallville, went to Superman's mom's house, then Superman shows up. Military shows up, big battle, Smallville turned into Destructionville.
They should, at the least know which city he comes from. Heck he even says he's from Kansas. If they go to Smallville they surely could ask around and figure out that it's Clark.
Still not sure how Lois figured out he was from Smallville. If he left Smallville, goes to, lets say California 1st, and fakes his application for a job then how does she go there and figure out he was from Smallville?
