- General Zod says Krypton is on the verge of implosion; in fact, just the opposite happens shortly thereafter.
- The Coast Guard helicopter pilot identifies the aircraft as number 6502 whereas the tail number is actually 6011.
- Two Canadian soldiers in uniform are in the bar. No member of the Canadian forces is allowed to be in a public drinking establishment while in uniform.
- The captain of the C-17 Globemaster tells the co-pilot to take over the controls which he does and says “co-pilot in charge”. The correct handoff is “I have control”.
- The aircraft is some distance from the city when permission is requested to drop the bomb; some ten minutes later permission is granted and they are no closer than before.

REVIEW
Loud movies loaded with copious CGI will certainly appeal to
those whose literary choice is a comic book. For the rest of us it is an
assault: not just to our ears but to our intelligence as though we expect
nothing more of a movie than a series of hand-to-hand combat scenes that
quickly become tedious all to the strains of an overbearing thumping score.
Without a good story
line and solid character development, a movie is just a bore and a waste of
time. Instead of having us look up in the sky to see if it’s a bird or a plane
and then discover it’s Superman we get to look at one scene of destruction,
devastation and mayhem after another. At 2 hours and 23 minutes it is too long
except for the die-hard fan who can’t get enough of this stuff.
Not being one of them, I should have walked out earlier.
