First of all, Jor-El and Lara never told Superman to be nice to the people of Earth. They said they loved Kal-El personally and had picked Earth as his new home. Superman ASSUMED the rest of the message would be about serving the people of Earth, but he had never actually heard the rest of the message until Luthor broadcasted it. Superman explicitly says this in the movie. It's pretty clear that the El's couldn't give a rat's ass about the Earth natives.
Secondly, it's pretty fucked up that you're okay with a benevolent dictator. Superman is a really nice guy but he's still fallible and the precedent it establishes means someone else would inevitably take Superman's place who might not be such a nice guy. Moreover, the message of the movie is that our choices and actions are what define us. How the fuck is that possible if we're not free to make our own choices and actions?
