I completely agree with you. He was excellent.

Spoiler!

When he killed Jor-El you could see the conflict in his face, but since he was born for that one purpose of protecting his people he had to do it. Pretty sad if you really think about it. Also despite the amazing power he had, he didn't abandon his cause and essentially "take over the world" or "enslave all humanity." He was solely focused on the preservation of the remaining Kryptonians. One qualm I have is that as Jor-El was made to be a scientist/engineer or whatever, technically he couldn't hold a candle to Zod. Zod would have beat his behind to a pulp. That was pretty dumb imo.
