Clark's main dilemma, in the film, is set up as "the world isn't ready for aliens, Clark, so hide who you are"--which works, I think, for the first 90 minutes or so and leads to the tragedy of Jonathan's death. And in a way, Clark surrendering to the human authorities is a good resolution to that plotline, and a very supermanly act--but it doesn't actually lead to anything, at least not in the area of character growth.
YES. It was good setup, but no follow-through.
If Zod really just wants to restore Krypton, why not make a deal with Kal that he'll go terraform one of the many, many other planets that once had Kryptonian outposts in return for Kal donating his blood (or whatever he needs to do) to restore the Kryptonian race?
*nod nod*
I kept waiting for Clark to suggest that to him! I could accept that maybe being frozen in the Phantom Zone and then watching your planet be destroyed would be enough to make you space-crazy, and that's why Zod was so set on Earth, but at least mention the alternatives!
There was some good stuff in this movie, but the last 45 minutes or so just sucked it under completely.
