I read the review above, and I think the reviewer had a point, but I think he was trying too hard to make it.
We did see the scene where Clark avoids reacting to the attack so I think we have seen him act virtuously.
To blame Clark for the attack on earth is just too much. Also, his whole act of voluntarily giving up was helpful.
Anyway, he did save those people on the oil rig, and the people in the bus and lots of others.
I did find his attack on the truck a bit much, but considering how demeaning towards woman that jerk was it seemed reasonable. The stealing of the clothes did disturb me a bit, but I think that Clark's motivations for not coming out as to who he was made sense, even if they were not fully explained.
We may all think "yeah, Superman can have a life as Clark Kent to", but how is he supposed to know that? Considering how much the glasses and restyling his hair is mocked as a way to have a secret identity, can he really be sure that it would work. How could he be, when obviously a really determined journalist like Lois can see through any disguises he puts up?
His only hope is to have the really determined journalists, or at least the most determined, on his side and helping him keep disguised.
On the other hand, I think the death of Zod was unavoidable. The reasons and situations were compelling. I do not think he had any choice there. Maybe I am conditioned by having read the Book of Mormon so many times and having dealt with Nephi killing Laban. Still, there are situations where killing is unavoidable, and dealing with a invading, war fighting enemy is one of them.
