Jerry Seinfeld has described Man of Steel as a 'missed opportunity'.
Seinfeld admits that he is a huge Superman fan and was excited at the reboot of the franchise last summer.
However, Seinfeld was not impressed with the lack of focus on the character.
In a Q&A with Reddit.com, he said: "I was so happy that they made another Superman movie! I'm really reluctant to be critical of it in any way.
"But I thought the glossing over of the figuring out a secret identity and why he felt he needed one was a huge missed opportunity for that character.
"One of the most interesting things about Superman is the whole secret identity, so to me it was too much action/violence and not enough character study."
Man of Steel was the first Superman movie since Superman Returns back in 2006.
Henry Cavill took over the role of Superman, while Zack Snyder was in the director's chair.
Despite Seinfeld's criticism of the film, it went on to gross in excess of $668 million at the global box office.
Superman will be returning to the big screen in 2015 with Batman vs Superman.
