I don't really follow Superman, so I didn't see Man of Steel in theaters. One of my friends who's a bigger comics fan than I am saw it and told me that the movie portrayed Superman as someone who apparently has never known any happiness in life. Everything was just misery after misery after misery.
After I saw it on DVD, I agreed with my friend. What's the point of being Superman -- being able to fly and all the other things -- if one just mopes constantly?
I wasn't even bothered by Superman killing Zod. (Did people forget that Superman killed the other Kryptonians in Superman II?) If Superman were as miserable as depicted in Man of Steel, maybe he should've just killed himself instead.
I'm serious about Hoechlin being better than Cavill, though he also has the benefit of better-written scripts. I hated the other movies showing Superman turning back time by reverse-rotating the Earth, wiping Lois's mind, etc.
