I just laugh at the Marvel bias shown when people bring up Man of Steels death count, first off Chitauri vs Avengers killed just as many people as Zod vs Kal and second, I'm of the opinion that if its not explicitly shown then it doesnt happen, besides Kal showed a few instances of saving or trying to save people, give him a break Marvelites.As far as the question at hand, Kal could face 100 Sentinels and take em on successfully.
Bringing up or joking about something that happened during the movie isn't an example of bias.
Now if we had said that the Sentinels win, that would have been an example of bias.....but we didn't.

They are trying to make him more relatable. What would you do if some psycho was threatening your mother then telling you he'll never stop killing purely because he knows it pisses you off?
Most people would go for the neck snap half an hour earlier than Clark did.

No doubt and you could see how upset he was it had to come to that(the neck breaking of ZOD). Its probably where he starts going down the road of getting better with his powers so it doesn't have to happen again.
thats why I liked MOS, it actually has a good character arc for Superman, making him more grounded personality wise to counter the spectacular feats that he can do physically, I mean if he's going to have a "no kill" rule he would have to get it from somewhere right?

Rules, like necks apparently, were made to be broken.

Wow, I don't see why all of you are so quick to say that Supe's would stomp infinite of the Sentinels here.
Sorry to go back on topic, but I personally think he would have his work cut out for him.
Now remember, these aren't the same Sentinels we saw fighting Wolverine and Beast in the past, these are the ones capable of REPLICATING mutations they see, and using them in their own arsenal. In a sense, Superman really DOES fall under that category. He may be an alien, but his powers are still due to his biology, meaning that the Sentinels... In theory, should be able to copy most, if not all of his powers.
They displayed the ability to copy fire based powers, so they could copy his heat vision, they displayed the ability to somehow copy super strength, and they displayed the ability to copy a plethora of other powers as well.
I personally think that MOS Superman would DOMINATE. However, I also think he would DEFINITELY be tagged in a few instances, maybe by heat vision, maybe by super strength and durability that were copied off him. The sentinels never displayed super speed though, and it's very likely that they would have been unable to, meaning that MOS Superman would be able to blitz them like it was nothing. Especially because his flight speed let him fly around half the planet in like 1 to 2 seconds, making him somewhat NEAR light speed. All he'd have to do is fly through a hoard of them, but he would likely try and fight them up close instead, since he hasn't shown the smarts to try something like that yet. 😖hifty:
Anyway, I think they COULD win. But that's depending on whether they could copy three of his abilities. Regeneration, flight, and Super Speed. If they can copy ONE of those three, then the fight would become MUCH more difficult for Supe's. If they could copy all three, on top of his heat vision, EVEN ASSUMING THEY COULDN'T COPY his strength/durability, they would still be capable of pulling a win. However, his durabiltiy/strength, regeneration, heat vision, and other crazy powers should pull a win from this, under any other given circumstances.
So it's really just a debate of whether or not they can copy all his powers.
