>>78672284ok. fair enough
Pa Kent being conflicted on Clark saving the kids but sacrificing his life to save a dog is bad characterization
Clark not showing to care about all the death and destruction around, but devastated with Zod's murder, and making out with Lois 10 seconds after is bad characterization
Zod being genetically engineered to ensure his species survives, but does everything he can to doom them just for the codex is bad characterization.
Lois and Jor El are just walking plot conveniences.
Jor El shows up in time to warn Clark about Zod, Lois appears everywhere the plot needs her to be without a serious justification.
The messianic/christian themes are hamfisted and lack subtlety, and this is the definition of bad writing.
The movie's pacing in the first half is out of place, with constant flashbacks to give depth to the characters, again with total lack of sutlety. Compare all that clusterfuck to how TWS introduces Sam Wilson.
The direction is totally bland, with only exceptions the scenes where it's dictated by marketing , those scenes are even worse.
The final battle lacks one of the most important elements of a good fight, urgency. In the whole fight you know that neither Clark nor Zod will get hurt, and everything else just doesn't have enough exposition to be considered important.
and those are just from the top of my head, and i didn't even touch the bad acting or the terrible dialogue.
