Spoiler Alert! Man of Steel

I really liked this movie. It was an origin story but it seemed new at the same time. Henry Cavill was great as both Clark Kent and Superman. Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan did a great job with Superman. Even though I liked this movie, I have so many questions.

1. Why, in this super advanced society, does Jor- El ride one of the dragon things from Avatar?
2.  Jor-El is a scientist. How is he able to beat General Zod in hand-to-hand combat?
3. If Jor-El can beat him so easily, why is it so hard for Superman to beat him even though Zod is like 30 years older than him?
4. How does Superman steal that Kryptonian ship from under the ice and get away with it?
5. Shouldn't the military be able to find him with satellites since they can see Zod's ship hanging out by the moon?
6. Why was it so easy for Lois to find out that Superman is Clark Kent?
7. Did anyone survive that fight in Smallville? Those people ran inside off the main street but then almost all of those buildings were destroyed.
8. Did pretty much everyone in Metropolis die? About a quarter of the city is destroyed by the terra-forming machine and then Zod and Superman destroy a large number of buildings while fighting.
9. Why does Superman keep the fight in Metropolis? Zod just wants to kill him. He could easily move the fight over to a less populated area.
10. How does Lois Lane show up to every part of town where Zod and Superman are fighting? First they're fighting over here and then they end up at Grand Central Station and hey look Lois walks in the door.
11. Why was Michael Shannon cast? I just don't understand him as Zod. Terrance Stamp as Zod in Superman II was cold, emotionless, calculating. I felt like I was watching Michael Shannon throw a temper tantrum the whole time.
12. The machine in Metropolis and the machine in the Indian Ocean are connected. Why does Superman go to the middle of the Indian Ocean to stop the machine there when he could go to Metropolis and stop it there, saving thousands of lives? 
13. Why was Laurence Fishburne wasted? Yeah, he's awesome but as Perry White, he did nothing.
14. Why are all LexCorp trucks highly explosive?
15. Why doesn't Kevin Costner just let Clark go back for the dog? He wouldn't even have to do any sort of incredible feat of strength. 
16. Why does Superman leave a jet trail when he flies fast? He isn't propelled by any sort of engine so there wouldn't be a jet trail.
17. When Clark leaves that boat to go save the people on the oil rig about a half mile away, where do the people on the boat think he went? 
18. That one Kryptonian ship had been on earth for 20,000 years. Assuming Kryptonians live even 10x as long as humans, how did Jor-El send it there? 
19. Why did he put a suit with his family crest on it in the ship? The ship was sent out before Clark was even born.
20. If Jor-El's family crest means hope, what does Zod's crest stand for? Probably asshole.
21. Who is Clark pretending to be when he has the red cape on as a kid?

Despite all that though, I really liked it and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Henry Cavill as the man of steel. I think we definitely will see more of Cavill through a sequel or even a possible Justice League movie. This was hinted when he learned that Man of Steel exists in a shared universe through the use of a Wayne Enterprises satellite.

Seriously, why didn't Superman try to move the fight somewhere else? Damage Report
