Spoiler!
This movie wasn't about Lois and Clark's relationship. It was about Lois and Clark
meeting
. That's all. Lois found him. They talked. They kissed once right after the world almost ended.
The relationship is for the next movie.
Same is true for the collateral damage and "betraying the character of Superman". People are acting like Superman was supposed to be the character we recognize from 80 years of history as soon as he puts his costume on. He's not. He's a guy who's been hiding who and what he is for literally his entire life until he's dragged out in front of the world. He's just learning about Krypton and Jor-El. He's never been (I assume) in a fight with anyone ever in his life, much less someone with the same power he has. He's barely learned he can fly. He's not really Superman yet. He's just starting to learn what he can do. And I imagine he's just starting to learn the consequences of what he can do. There's no magic crystals to teach him everything there is to know. He doesn't disappear for 10 years and come back. He's just getting started.
And it's actually potentially a good setup for the 2nd film. The consequences of all that destruction. Maybe that's where Lex Luther comes in. Maybe that's where Bruce Wayne comes in. Maybe it ties in some other way.
