That's a moot point as the movie doesn't even ask why he wants to be a saviour. What the movie shows is that he's naturally empathetic. It's a starting condition. The Earth-portion of the movie opens with him helping the oil rig workers.
The movie should ask why because that is how we connect with the character and learn about him AS A PERSON, regardless of super powers. It shouldn't just assume we are gonna root for this guy and understand his viewpoints simply because he is the titular character.
Clark's struggle is to figure out how, not why, imo. It goes back to that talk with pa kent. How can he save people without ending up in a government lab?
What sort of question is that? He saves people anyway and he doesn't end up in a government lab. It's an uninteresting question that has an obvious answer. He can't physically be captured.
Jon Kent's role in this film is silly. He talks about wanting Clark to be a good person... but why wouldn't he be a good person? There is no conflict there anyway because the film doesn't give a reason WHY he is a good or bad person.
 
				 
						
 
 
		 
		 
 
		 
 
		 
 
		
 
 
		 
 
		 
	 The film is very divided. There's really no middle ground, it's either you love it or hate it. It doesn't have the same reception as the films you've pointed out where the critical mass loved it. MOS failed to achieve what it set out to do, hence the reception is got. You can't really take the film seriously anymore when the director defends the 3rd act and destruction by insinuating that he wanted to turn Superman into a modern mythology and failing to do so.

		 This is a perfect response for the people who say "how can you forgive The Avengers for making the same mistakes MoS makes?" argument. In context, they aren't the same mistakes (I'm talking about the 3rd act where death and destruction occurs).

		 I detest the way some people here try to spin MoS as some misunderstood intellectual piece of work. It's anything but.
