I had some real ambivalence about the ending chunks of Man of Steel, which I touched on in a bit more depth here: http://confusedkayt.livejournal.com/118972.html
HOWEVER, a big old YES to your points. God, Lois Lane was so fantastic in this. Like, hilariously awesome. I also loved that Zod had a Number One who was a lady in lady armor that looked functional and neither concealed that she was a lady nor made undo hay with the bosom. I also loved Ma Kent, and her very character-capturing moment where she runs back into her wrecked house to keep track of the scrapbooks. She really reminded me of my own Mom in that moment, despite the general under-use she got in the film. Also, yay for Perry White and his general awesomeness and reasonable editorial decisions. Plus, I cannot agree more about Zod's humanizing moment. It gave so much retroactive weight to the action setpieces at the end and really hammered home the nastiness at the core of this Krypton's general social design.
