Japanese, in my opinion, are pretty weird. Where in the US will you see vending machines selling used panties to customers? They do in Japan & cetainly not here! Who in the US kills themselves because they "disgraced" the company they work for? Certainly not here (here if an employee gets angry enough they take it out on those around them BEFORE they kill themselves or are killed by cops). Japanese actually don't know about the bombings because most survivors have died. They don't do any kind of rememberance (saw an interesting HBO documentary on this). We remember Pearl Harbor, Oklahoma City and 9/11. I won't even bring up their anime since it speaks for itself. Excuse me if I don't use the Japanese point of view as a barometer for good taste & perseverance. Odessasteps, You’re comparing two incredibly divergent cultures that view things very differently.

Or did they think "its just a movie with a guy in a rubber suit?" Did people of Japan get PTSD after WWII watching Tokyo get repeatedly destroyed?

The idiotic logic ("stay in your store/office building and don't leave Smallville/Metropolis while I fight these crazy mofos"), crappy story (what the hell was with the skull?) and insane plot points (not ony will Supes snap Zod's neck, he play abortion doctor by destroying all the embryos in the chamber in the ship he discovered early in the film - a fact I've not seen any review bring up at all!) made this one of the worse movies I've seen this year. Comics Alliance had a good review that I think you should check out: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2013/06/17/man-of-steel-on-my-planet-the-s-is-for-sucks-spoilers-review/ I didn't expect much going into this since I wasn't crazy about the trailer. I just didn't expect this to be the mess it was. Were there moments I liked? Some but they were so outweighed by the foolish decisions the writer and director made that I couldn't help but hope Zod would kill Superman just so there wouldn't be any sequels. If anything would have made Christopher Reeve walk it would have been this movie as he would have said, "Fuck this!" and walked out. What's worse is the amount of comic creators who enjoyed it that I thought would have felt the same way I did. I guess there's no accounting for taste in this day and age.
