Still, my opinion on Ridley Scott is that he doesn't seem to do very well chasing his past successes. Robin Hood seemed to want to be some kind of medieval version of Gladiator, and Prometheus fashioned itself as an Alien prequel, and both ended up feeling a bit misguided in their efforts. Perhaps if he focused on something completely new again he'd fare better.
Man of Steel was not that great but it certainly is not the worse Superman thing ever, that prize goes to Superman At Eartth's End.
And I like Zack Snyder's style. And I cannot wait to see Dawn of Justice. Even if it ends up lackluster the action is gonna be awesome.
But this movie (and the amazing spiderman 2) are the only few times I agree with him.

bullshit
he has killed before in the comics
he has killed in the reeves movies ( he crushes a depowred zod's hand and then tosses him down a chasm its never adressed but it sure as hell looks like killing )
superman doesnt like killing but he does kill when there is no choice at all anymore
and zod left him no choice in man of steel

But anyway I will say this though.
Man of Steel spawned a new generation of people who now hates Superman. The same people who grew up with Nolan's Batman who thinks Batman is the ultimate hero that can tackle anything if he had time to plan and he has not superpowers making him more relatable :P
Yeah a man who has an IQ of 300, a billionaire with his own multinational company, who trained in various forms of combat all over the world, is certainly more relateable to the common man than Superman :P

Weird, eh? You buy a LOTR trilogy, you get three movies; you buy an Alien trilogy, you get two movies. The movie industry is too complicated for me.

clark didnt had many choices in how to deal with zod
either imprisoment or kil him
and we all know how well imprisoment works in comics and movies ( ie they always escape )
man of steel has major problems but clark killing zod is not one of them


Robocop 3 at least was fun.
3 felt like a cartoon complete with cartoonish villians buffonish henchmen and an annoying kid sidekick
hooray !
and there was a distinct lack of weller and allen
however robocop 2 has problems too like how they dropped the ball with the main character at the end of 1 murphy has reasserted himself and in 2 we are pretty much back to square one
the ocp bureaucraut is almost cartoony in his offensiveness
the movie is meanspirited and quite violent
but it has gorgeosu stop motion special effects
i generally like to pretend that there is no robocop 3 though
