This is not a good comparison and an irrelevant point. In MOS, the Clark Kent that develops a different persona, to hide his identity from the world never appears until the end of movie. There was no reason to have a different persona since Superman had not yet made an appearance.
In the original Superman movie Clark Kent originally was not goofy. The goofy Clark Kent persona did not appear until he decided to be superman. The goofy Clark was a brilliant distinction between too different personas. We will have to wait until the sequel to MOS to see how this Clark accomplishes this. Therefore your comparison is not yet applicable.

You and some others seem to be criticizing comments that you do not approve just because you like the movie.
I have already stated that, I felt that this movie was a great action movie but not a great superman movie. I felt it had the potential to be one of the best superman movies but failed to do so and then listed my reasons.
This is not by far the worst Superman movie, but it is not the greatest either. That is my opinion.
