General Zod

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2013)

Man of Steel is one of the first movie to really display the Kryptonians extraordinary power on Earth. No one could have done a better job with this. The story line, though compiled and meddled with, is well presented. The sequence in which Clark learns the full potential of his abilities is pleasant to see. The best work of this movie, however, is General Zod. The character of Zod is impeccable. The way he analyzes his temporary weakness on Earth to master in order to carry his mission is simply beautiful. After watching Man of Steel, I am now a big fan of General Zod. My admiration for Zack Snyder's work on this movie leads to the following questions: Why did Zod have to die? The definition of death on Earth do not apply to Kryptonians. How is it General Zod died, Even with a broken neck (humans perceptions)? Superman could have beating the General in another manner. So that we could have a return of General Zod later on. Also, it would have been nice to have shown either that Clark had learned how to fight or the codex had encoded/embedded some mad fighting skills within his cells. The only way to overcome General Zod, the smart of all his people, including his father's, the sensibility, and the fighting skills needed for their survival. Regardless of all that, General Zod cannot die on Earth. The capital flaw with Man of Steel.
