NOKW - Man of Steel

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series where I point out things in a movie I can tolerate and then one thing I just couldn't (if you want, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Man of Steel

Basic Plot:  You know, an alien kid grows up on Earth, has superpowers, saves humanity, and falls in love with a chick that is easily a decade older than him.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that they try really really hard for you to notice that they are comparing Superman to Jesus.  The fact that Superman having X-ray vision kind of makes sense, but the laser eyes always confused me.  The fact that a 15,000 year old Krypton ship just so happens to have a suit that fits Clark perfectly and has his family's symbol on it.  The fact that the bad guys' suits are bulletproof for no reason.  The fact that every time Superman gets in a fight with the bad guys he seems to destroy more stuff than he saves.  The fact that Metropolis literally no longer exists after that machine destroyed virtually the entire city.  The fact that the military would allow Lois to ride along in a military aircraft during a critical mission.  The fact that Lois is many miles away from the train station where Superman kills Zod after the final fight scene but somehow she shows up there in less than a minute.  The fact that it was so easy for Superman to kill an indestructible Zod.  The fact that Superman still doesn't seem to understand that putting on a pair of glasses isn't a disguise.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that they go out of their way to show you that when Zod loses his helmet in his first fight with Superman that all of the superpowers he receives from Earth's sun hit him at once and yet right after that, Superman has to fight two other bad guys that already have super-strength and are near invincible while still wearing their full suits.  That is a large contradiction.  Right before this fight scene, we are shown that Superman loses his powers while he is on the bad guys' ship because it uses Krypton's atmospheric conditions, you know the exact same thing that the bad guys' armor/helmet is doing.  They strap down Superman to a table and he can't bust himself out until his holographic father takes over the ship and pumps the Earth's atmosphere throughout the ship and Superman then breaks his bonds with his super strength.  So, how is that the bad guys are super strong during this fight, but don't suffer from the onslaught of the rest of the superpowers hitting them at once.  If anything, they should just be normal Kryptonians in armor and not be super fast and super strong.  And yet, they are super strong/fast and kick a bunch of soldiers' asses.  I am not okay with that.
