-Character development was almost non-existent in the movie.
you mean like how in the beginning where he's scared of who he is and can't accept his powers tumbling from one corner of the Earth to the other living different lives - leading to the middle where he accepts his alien heritage dons his cape and explores his powers that he's been rejected and shamed for having his entire life - leading to the near end where he accepts his role as Earth's protector with the help and motivation of Jor-El and finds the balance between both his alien and human side by understand who he is and what he should stand for - leading to the final end where he accepts his life as both a hero and a human, picks a career where he can juggle both firmly and has a woman? To say there was no character development is to say that the Clark we meet in the beginning is the exact same dude we see in the end, however this isn't true because the emotional and physical changes we see and feel from the character from start to end; are dramatically different.
and this doesn't even cover the development in how he feels about the outside world and how the outside world feels about him. Like, did we even see the same movie lol
Thats very nice and all but none of it is actually executed well.
-No tension
I don't know what you mean by this
the obstacles are mere obstacles that never feel threatening. This is a problem in most action movies. In your defense you could say "the destruction affected people's lives, buildings destroyed etc" but none of those things matter if theres no weight. You can have countless characters die but they won't matter unless the movie makes you care. Its about execution.
