I mean, how else does Jor-El know how to fight if he was bred to be a scientist? And how does he and Lara know how to fuck in order to have the first naturally born child in over a thousand years?
And there are much, MUCH better Superman alternatives than this movie. Hell, Invincible, as I mentioned before, is a better Superman, and that books chalked full of over-the-top violence on a city-wide scale. The only reason I have no problem with that (although, some of the gory scenes make me squeamish) is that book's world is set up that way. Man of Steel's world makes me think it would have been a better idea if Kal-El never came to Earth.
If you ask me, Bizarro should be in the next movie. He would be the anti-Superman: witty, heroic and colorful.

Do you
really think Zod would have let him take them to an unpopulated area? And Superman stands a match against Zod and his flunkies because A) he refuses to give up and B) He has been on Earth FAR LONGER and his powers are more developed. This is also why Superman is able to defeat Zod in the way he does (considering one of their powers is Invulnerability), his powers were not as developed thus he was able to whittle him down to the point where he was vulnerable easier. Superman isn't invincible...his invulnerability has limits if you beat on him long enough eventually he will become vulnerable, they did this to him quite a while ago since he was found to be just too damn powerful.
No reason that Zod wouldn't run on the same logic
and he was on Earth for a far less amount of time, and therefore wouldn't have absorbed as much of the solar radiation, so his invulnerability/stamina would be far reduced compared to Supermans.
I don't think this is a
good movie per-say, but it's not quite as bad as people are making it out to be.
