It's Snyder's problem here and I agree with Poni, even if I don't frame it in quite the same way. It's evident in the scene that he saves Lois in Africa. Everything needs to be brute force, he uses a total of three powers across three movies, four if you count super-speed during flight.What??? He's perfectly nuanced during the day of the dead scene, and when saving Lois after Lex pushes her off the building. Plus, he was completely nuanced with his heat vision when he saves Lois in MoS. Not to mention, he has perfect control over the heat vision when he confronts Lex and learns about Martha. His hearing is also nuanced when he overhears Bruce at the party scene. Not to mention, if he'd had no nuance, Bats would've died in that fight.
If nothing else, it makes for a fairly uninteresting visual; a lot of these scenes could've been more interesting with a different and more complete utilization of his powers.
This isn't just a problem with Superman, by the by. Batman does the brute force thing, using only two gadgets throughout the entire thing and one of them he needs to move from place to place.
