No they weren't. They were mad because the main character has no personality. You can give your side characters arcs and a personality, but when your lead is as charismatic as Henry Cavill, and he comes off bland and boring, you have failed as a filmmaker. Remember, Zack Snyder couldn't make Henry Cavill look charismatic. Henry Cavill is one of the most charismatic actors of this generation. That is a failure that speaks so much to Zack's inability to direct actors it is deafening. Michael Shannon carried this movie, because even though he also wasn't given proper direction, he's Michael fucking Shannon, and basically just played his character from Boardwalk Empire with Superpowers.

It was so bad Deathstroke comics were selling much better back then. So in other words they mostly criticised this film on the basis on nostalgia which isnt a valid criticism at all. That's called been biased and close minded. You know something critics aren't supposed to be when reviewing films. That's usually reflects on us the audience.

Superman has never been Batman with Superpowers. You're thinking of Supreme when Rob Liefeld wrote him. He also doesn't throw his enemies into populated buildings. That's Hyperion. Also, Superman in the early 2000s is credited as one of the most important characters with bringing comics out of the dark ages of the 90s.

Which is funny, because when the DC heroes debuted, they were pecfect and charismatic characters, with happy and positive stories. Whereas Marvel heroes were imperfect beings full of flaws, and their heroism was sometimes questioned. However, the golden age of comics is over a long time ago. DC's characters have changed a lot from their first appearances. They weren't always dark and serious. I remember that in the Marvel and DC crossover comic, the Justice League questioned the Avengers because their world was in disorder, and that maybe they weren't capable of being heroes. While the avengers the world of the Justice League had lost its freedom. Of course, those comics have been out for a long time.

Michael Shannon's performance as Zod is a great part of what makes this film good. He portrays Zod's single-mindedness so well it makes you believe he'd plow into the stupid decisions he makes. Even though he's a general, he's ready to destroy a world that turns his troops into super-soldiers (like Jor-El suggests, he could terraform somewhere else, then have his cake and eat it too). He's willing to destroy an AI that has tons of lost history of the culture he claims to adore, because he sees it only as his enemy. A film that can get you past those contradictions and still be good, is pretty well-crafted.

"Even though he's a general, he's ready to destroy a world that turns his troops into super-soldiers" I've always thought that was the best part :D Zod could've taken the narcissistic route of preserving the Earth's environment (letting humanity live) because "the pain that my people will suffer in this planet's environment is worth the power that I will gain," or he could've taken the Social Darwinist route of preserving the Earth's environment (letting humanity live) because "the pain that my people will suffer in this planet's environment is worth the power that they will gain." Instead, he chooses to recreate the original Krypton's environment (wiping out humanity) because the power that he gains in the Earth's environment isn't worth it to him for the pain that his people would suffer. I have never, in my life, seen a villain put in a position where he could've make the selfish choice of letting humanity live, but where he instead tried to make the personal sacrifice of wiping humanity out.

1:14 - 1:16 The stare of disgust and hatred in ZOD’s eyes right before he looks away, is a man on a mission to carry out his purpose for krypton. Only for it to end with his neck being snapped! like a pretzel stick.😩

Man this is some of the greatest acting in a comic book movie I’ve ever seen

You wouldn't have bothered to argue with a ghost if you were certain you would or wanted to win.

Zod needed to say. "I found him. I found him! I FoUnD HIIIIM!"

Michael Shannon killed it as Zod, such a great character arc

Snyder is the only one reason why i loved Superman, i was a Superman hater but after watching mos it changed my mind. Thank you for making man of steel is my favorite superhero movie of all time

Same here

Shannon and Crowe have to do another project, the performance they gave together was crazy good.

There was a quote something like, “when a society separates its scholars from warriors, its decisions will be made by cowards and its wars will be fought by fools”

When you aggressively taskkill an uncooperative admin level program.

Michael Shannon and russel Crowe are seriously incredibly intense in this movie basically unbeatable

The most terrifying Zod ever brought on screen.

Shannon is just such as heavily underrated actor.

Michael shannon gave us the best general zod we ever had.

Zod deleting Jor-El, Doomsday's birth, Lex communicating with Steppenwolf, Superman's resurrection,... So many things happened in that spot of the kryptonian ship. Makes you wonder what would've happened in JL2 and 3.

This and Snyder Batman series just had it right. Had DCEU built on those foundations these movies could’ve been revolutionary. Zod literally was the villain but you could tell he was conflicted but he was going do what he had to do. Jor El and Zod made this movie for me

Man, that's some good acting...when Shannon kills Jor El for the second time.

This truly sets the standard when it comes to live action supervillains. Looking back it's a performance unlike any other. Very well done Michael Shannon 👏

You can tell Zod not having a freedom of choice when he was born had a only a purpose to fight for his people and the fact his people are his only mission to recreate his home he literally lost his friend in the process and you can tell he regrets killing jor el

Hands down! Zach Snyder's "Man of Steel" is the best Superman movie I have seen in my life thus far! This movie is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion! I find the story, scientific concepts, philosophical ideas, acting, directing, music, cinematography and visual effects to be just powerful! It is definitely one of my favorite movies. I would even say it is one of the top ten films so far from the 2010s decade, along with "Cloud Atlas", "Les Miserables", "Coriolanus", "The Great Gatsby", "Exodus: Gods and Kings" and "12 Years A Slave".

1:14 see his eyes, his subtle expression? He’s not happy with any of this. He’s never wanted Jor an enemy. Jor’s his people, who are his purpose. But if he sees you against his purpose then you’re an enemy to eliminate.

Suffer? You get to fly and shit

1:10 - 1:17 I like it here how it shows Zod wish it didn’t have to come to this, like he knows what he’s doing and knows morally he’s crossing something. He knew deep down Jor-El was right but he has try because it’s his duty as a soldier

1:13 that little wince tells SO much

Good acting, you could see the emotion even when ridding himself of Jor-El

The best Jor El and Zod portrayal in movies !

One of the best comicbook movie villains of all time.

"My son is twice the man you were." Zod with 'the fuck did you just say?' look.

General Zod is a universe in himself a separate movie should be made on him. I think he is best general in the superman Multiverse .

Loved this part. It`s so interesting to listen to their dialogue

The myriad of emotions conveyed in the last remaining seconds of this scene were absolute peak. Zod, a Kryptonian warrior and general has always had to shoulder the burden of his far-reaching decisions. He doesn't have the luxury of second-guessing himself. His decisions, in his mind, were the best course of action to take. Here and now, General Zod's old friend and nemesis, Jor-el, has planted within him the seeds of doubt, anger, and heartbreak. Doubt about the correct course of action to take with the Terraforming of the Earth. Anger at the very idea of coexisting with Humanity in their cities of squalor. Heartbreak over the fact that he had to kill, for the second time, another Kryptonian he respected and used to consider a friend.

Jor-El programmed his consciousness to throw shade.

Ill never know how they created such a compelling version of Zod but dropped the ball so badly with Lex Luthor of all vilains...

Michael Shannon set the bar so high up for DC villains that no other baddies have even come close to Zod, not only was he a fantastic villain but he was a villain with a purpose unlike the other ones that just want to kill and destroy stuff just because they can, Faora was fantastic as well.

This movie would’ve been absolute perfection with about 15 minutes more footage mainly showing Zod and making him a bit more “lovable/hate to love”, if that makes sense. The actor is amazing and I think everyone would’ve enjoyed seeing him more.

Zod's like, "How many times do I have to kill this guy?"

I just realized that if they decided to adapt to Earth, they would have the same potential to gaining Superman's abilities without the added side-effect of being weakened by Kryptonite like Kal-El. They will still be vulnerable to it, but not severely weakened to exposure like Superman.

This movie aged so well. A shame how low it was received when it was first released.

I love Snyders DC movies cause there is actual depth to the characters and not constantly trying to make the audience. The soundtrack in MoS , BvS and ZSJL is better than anything in Marvel's or later DC movies

Michael did an excellent job here. You can see many of his emotions as Zod - especially in the eyes, the pain, anger, regret and determination.
