Man of Steel had big expectations, Christopher Nolan being the producer, Superman III; Superman IV and Superman Returns being terrible but, when you come to think of it, it's not that great.
It had good actors: Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Russel Crowe and Kevin Costner (could be worse). But trying to give superman's story a dark tone was a bad idea, it worked with Batman, but Batman is a dark persona and has a sad story.
