Such a disappointment, poor action build up

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2015)

What the heck happened!? Zack Snyder, director of 300, Watchmen, Suckerpunch, movies containing some of the very best, most awesome over the top action scenes the world has ever seen..? And then he makes a Superman movie, and it is totally not awesome? It must be studio interference that screwed this up, because I really want Zack Snyder to have more awesome action up his sleeve.
You can say a lot about Man of Steel, but here is my main beef. The action is not very good. We get a lot of destruction, humanoids being tossed around, thrown through buildings and such, but why is it not awesome? One reason I think, is that it is just too.. hard. Too violent. Not too violent as in in too much violence, but it's like, they barely touch each other and then they just fly through the air 1000000000 miles per hour.. You get no sense of their power, although that's what you're supposed to, because it's just so overdone.
For that to work, you must build it up. You don't start with the biggest action scene. You wouldn't start with superman hitting someone making them fly through a thousand buildings. First we get a little taste, then a little bigger taste, and so on.
In all the fights it's the same. Somebody pushes or hits someone and they fly away so incredibly fast that you get no sense of anything. A real shame. The effects are very good though, this could have been awesome. But it's not.
I know the movie is just made to clear the way for Batman v Superman, but still.
And why are there not lots of slo-mo? Come on, it Superman for crying out loud. Even the last Superman-movie had that awesome bullet-to-the eye-scene. Here we get nothing? At least I can't remember any.
Also it is totally devoid of humor, badly paced, just not very entertaining. Well made, yes. Good movie? No.
