I thought the struggle between Superman's dual identities - the normal kid that he wished he was, and the super-powered alien that he truly was - was covered fine. In fact, that struggle was central to his life as a child. Jonathan Kent wanted him to hide his powers and be as normal and pretend to be a normal kid until a time when humanity was ready to accept the existence of alien life. A young Clark begrudgingly honored his father's words, even though it meant watching his father die.
Clark Kent, as the mild-mannered reporter, made his appearance at the very end of the movie. Clearly they're setting things up for a sequel, and chances are the adult Clark will get some screen time there.
In regards to Lois and Clark's romance: the tension between them has been explored innumerable times in the past. From decades-worth of comic books to the original movies, from multiple animated series to the Lois & Clark live-action series, that concept has been explored in that manner quite a bit already. Because of that, I don't mind that they took a different approach with the Lois & Clark relationship. Lois got to Know Superman before she got to know Clark. Good, a new take on things.
The lack of Jimmy Olsen didn't bother me. He might appear in the sequel. Even if he doesn't, I won't mind at all.
Finally, Superman has killed to save innocents before. That isn't a new concept. In Superman #22, 1988, he used kryptonite to kill 3 Kryptonian criminals. The idea of him killing as a last resort has been explored before.
