Heroic, but not so Super. - warning spoilers

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2013)

I went to see this movie and something occurred to me during this what seems like 30 minute fight sceen towards the end of the movie. When you make a movie, and the protagonist has actual antagonist to deal with, you have to make the antagonist not be superior to the protagonist. It is a very delicate balancing act. We are talking about the strongest, fastest, and most powerful being on the earth, and we are supposed to believe he has an equal. Well he doesn't, if that equal is from earth. so what do you do, to create that fight and struggle, make sure the protagonist is from his same planet, and with his same powers. In the story, which you already know so well, Superman gets sent from his destroyed home planet to earth. Afterwards, the bad guys that were banished from his planet find him on earth to seek him for something they need. In one of the scenes in the movie, they send 12 of them to earth. 12, and yet, there is only 3 of them Superman has to deal with. WHY? Wouldn't you send all the might and power you had to destroy him and be over with it? Secondly, after this grand long-drawn out battle, the leader General Zod, dies in a very unimpressive, unheroic way. Which leaves people to say....ALL OF THAT fighting, and for what? Superman should have done that in the first place. I will give the movie 7 out of 10 stars simply because of the urgency to make it seem like superman has an real trouble or issues.
I do like however a slight hint, or Easter egg planted in the movie during the fight scene. When Superman throws General Zod through a LEXCORP oil tanker. Good set up for the next movie.
