The scenes did not show anything other than Singer was in love with the original movies. As far as not just being a rip off of scenes, well I guess they could have intended to have scenes like the night flight show growth but the actors were so, SO terrible all it showed were some very cheesy costumes, bad acting and effects along with an awkward lack of dialogue. The movie was pretty and that was all it was. The "it had heart" argument is nothing more than the fact it was a love letter to the Donner films.

"but the actors were so, SO terrible"
What made them terrible?
"bad acting and effects
The effects weren't bad at all.
"awkward lack of dialogue."
Why is this even an issue? Sometimes in movies scenes are more effective, even powerful without dialogue.
"The "it had heart" argument is nothing more than the fact it was a love letter to the Donner films."
Not just the Donner movies, but also to the Superman character in general; recreating Superman's first appearance with him lifting a car over his head, cameos featuring people from other versions of the Superman legend, including Noel Neill who played Lois Lane in the 1950s George Reeves TV series and here is the aging dowager that Lex Luthor swindles, and Jack Larson who was Jimmy Olsen in the 1950s tv series and plays the barman that serves Clark and this films Jimmy when they go for a drink. Even the space shuttle was virtually recreated from the animated "Superman - Last Son of Krypton". -

Oh, stop it. MoS blew this movie out the watererrrr, chunked it into space.
MoS had: better pacing, better action, a more realistic looking Superman, better villain, better plot, and greater sense of peril.
When we're thinking about our own brain, would that be a mental paradox?? -

"Oh, stop it. MoS blew this movie out the watererrrr, chunked it into space."
It hadn't.
"MoS had: better pacing, better action, a more realistic looking Superman, better villain, better plot, and greater sense of peril."
Better pacing, definitely not. A more realistic-looking Superman? Give me a break. Superman is inherently unrealistic, so you cannot make "realism" an argument. Better villain and plot - it's regurgitated material from "Superman 1" and "2" but dumbed down to such an extent that it's embarrassing, with bits and pieces from other and much better movies. Hell, not even Zod crashing into a satellite is unique, as that's from the much maligned "Green Lantern" movie. A greater sense of peril? A kryptonite island turning into a full-sized continent, threatening to kill millions of people is somehow kids' stuff? -

"no, Man Of Steel was far superior to Superman ReturnsSuperman Returns grossed $483 million but Man Of Steel grossed $693 millionboth figures are inflation adjusted, Worldwide Gross"
Being successful at the box office doesn't make a movie "good". "MOS" was a disjointed, derivative and generic mess - it was faaar from being "good". Not even superior to "Superman Returns". -

"UmSupes left Metropolis a smoldering crater in Superman 2, the series you are verbally fellatiating."
Uh, no he didn't, not on the scale of what was depicted in "MOS", plus there was actual concern for humanity. At least in 2 Superman tried to do something, even control some of the damage. -

I thought Man Of Steel as a stand alone movie was great, the primary beef of people who did not like it was the great amount of people who died in the fight between Superman and Zod. But it also shows in this movie at least that Zod wasn’t just an asshole for the sake of being one ,but he truly thought that he was doing the best thing for the survival of his race ,as misguided as it seems and it actually took an emotional toll on Kal to have to kill Zod.I don’t know why people were expecting a fun loving ,light hearted kids movie.

I agree it is a wonderful movie. It is just too bad a sequel was never done. That is especially in conjunction with the "Superman'78" comic book just recently published. That would make a good film. "Superman Returns Part 2" would make a good film. I can hope that will be done one day.
