I found Supe's mooniness over Lois to be a little too schoolboy for the Man of Steel, but I understand a movie has to focus on romance, and it was just a little excess that I found forgivable in the context of comic-book movie.
I don't think Superman has much character to be insulted. But I found that a wee bit retarded.
And granted, Lois getting knocked around the plane so much with nary a scratch, much less 18 broken bones, just struck a wrong chord. It was lazy filmmaking even for a comic book movie, but I forgave the slight because it was a comic book movie.
Tone is very important to me in a film, and I find few films achieve a good or consistent one. I thought Superman Returns was very good in this regard, and so forgave it a lot of little sins.
