Eh, I would argue that the characters thus far have been pretty accurate to the comics, at least in terms of getting the spirit of the characters just right.

Oh, I agree, the power levels, given the way they've structured the universe, are perfectly fine.
DC/WB seems to be willing to push it a bit further, but as long as the movie is good, I won't mind. Powers in and of themselves, high or low, don't make a good movie, and so on.
So far, Superman hasn't done anything too crazy like the comic counterpart. He hasn't lifted an island yet, he hasn't moved the planet, and he hasn't moved faster than the speed of light.
He's destroyed a lot of buildings, but Hulk has done things similar, even with his fight with Iron Man.
The Wonder Woman feat is probably better than any Superman feat in MOS.

Compare Hulk's fight with Iron Man in AOU to the climactic fight in MOS; I'd argue that, even accounting for WB/DC's willingness to straight kill bystanders, there's still a difference in the power levels we saw portrayed.

No doubt the Kryptonians are stronger, but that's how they're supposed to be. But it's not like Superman threw a mountain into the sun or anything like that. Power levels are generally fine so far.

It's Superman. Comes with the territory.
Far as I'm concerned, as long as he sticks to at least something of a defined powerset and isn't like Reeve, I don't mind how far they push it. The story just has to be good.

True. But too much will push the general audience away somewhat.
I agree. Stated my reasons in my previous posts.

I find it strange that some people actually want that, and they dont realize how dumb that would be. It wouldn't translate well into film even if done right.
All they can say is that "It is portraying the characters in true comic book power levels. I dont see the problem".
If you want to make a good film that is also successful and appeals to the general audience you have to tone that crazy stuff down.
Its like some think these movies are strictly made for die hard comic book fans only so they can get hard with on screen feats.
SMH.
