While I agree that content wasn't there, I'm glad it wasn't. I don't think I could face yet another superhero origin story movie. Hell, in this one he still takes half a movie to get there.
Honestly, I'd prefer they'd missed ALL of the origin stuff. Just start with "Here's a fully formed Superman. Go!"
Yeah unfortunately with this film it kind of went downhill once it was "fully formed Superman. Go!" the stuff on Krypton were some of the best bits, when he is actually rescuing people (before he puts on the costume, and starts killing them) that was good, and if you ignored Pa Kent's "let them all die" dialogue the flash backs weren't to back either.
