It's not all that stupid. Glasses do alter your form a little. Beyond the hypnosis thing, which is dumb, they've also explained Supes alters his posture and such. It's easy to make yourself look different by simply altering your clothes, and glasses will affect things. Of all the shit to nitpick, the thing that actually has some real-world significance is a pretty retarded place to start.
In terms of his flaws, I've never liked that the only thing that hurts Supes is Kryptonite, but what makes it interesting is that he attempts to conquer it. It's not brave to jump in front of a gun if you know the bullet will bounce off you, but if you jump into a situation, knowing full well you're out of your element, it's either bravery or stupidity. Superman doesn't have a lot of experience with that, which makes it interesting. In fact, it's one of the few times his paragon-nature is actually entertaining.
The movie was boring because it felt like there was an hour of extra content. As in, the movie was an hour longer than the story. I won't defend it. Superman finds a way. We know the ending, so there's no suspense in that. They need another way to make it interesting, and they didn't do that.
