Superman movie

I haven’t seen the original Superman movies in years so this could just be how these movies are but is it normal for Superman to just get whooped for 80% of the film? I liked the movie, the action scenes were awesome, I think they might’ve had a little too much going on plot wise but I can ignore that. The thing that bothers me is how much Superman just lost or got his ass kicked. He was injured or weakened basically the entire film which kinda annoyed me. I’m trying to remember I don’t know if he won a single fight on his own in the first hour and a half in my mind he’s supposed to be Superman, this like damn near unstoppable force but I get he has to be nerfed for conflict but man it just felt like the payoff wasn’t worth most of the film watching him lose. Just want to know if that’s normal for a Superman movie and what yall thought about it.
