10. The only issue I have with this movie is it's an origin story

The two characters in all comics whose origin stories do NOT need to be recorded to film are Superman and Batman. People who've never cracked the cover of a comic book know Superman's origins. If they would have left out the origin story they could have used the entire two hours to let Superman solve the problem the movie is about. I definitely plan to see the film, probably Thursday - I don't have to be at work until 10 pm then so I have time - but how much better could the movie be without going over what we already know?
