Loved the movie, too! The only gripe I had was with the destruction scenes but not for the reasons others have had. These god like men laying waste to concrete and steel and whatever else didn't bother me. Given the context, it makes sense. But the scenes concerning Metropolis's citizens (specifically Laurence Fishburne and his coworkers) had the opposite impact it should of had on me. It tried to be so edge of your seat thrilling, but fell flat. Given the events at 9/11, these images did bring the terrorist attacks to mind but the idea that the group didn't die or that basically they were on the brink of destruction every step they took but mysteriously escaped harm's way almost made the scenes silly.
It's not that I want to see people die or have 9/11 recreated in any way. It's just that knowing about the carnage caused by two large skyscrapers falling and then watching the movie and seeing the entire city being torn asunder yet so many people just running away...it was silly. Frigging automobiles and buildings being lifted while nothing was happening to the humans -- I get the terra-forming weapon was probably magnetic in nature, but I wonder how being in some kind of magnetic storm like that would actually affect a human being?
It would have been better if Superman and Lois Lane, knowing what was coming had gotten word to the city in time to have it evacuated before Superman, Zod and the terra-forming weapon lay waste to the city, not because I am overly-sensitive to the issues but simply because the humans-running-scared-narrowly-missing-death-at-every-corner scenes took me out of the movie. Looked like something out of the film 2012.
