I believe that a lot of those bad feelings are coming from a mismeasure of fans expectations of superhero films versus the kind of story that Zack Snyder is interested in telling.

It seems that the narrative of negative reviews is that the film is poorly constructed, confusing, and lacking internal logic. The positive reviews of this film seem to completely ignore those arguments in favor of a focus that everybody is missing the bigger themes that Snyder dares to address.

Also this part: This Superman is not a noble, selfless alien who cannot help but do good in the nick of time. He’s a selfish narcissist whose major failings are all caused by his inability to see himself in relation to the world (which, as the future-telling dream sequence shows, might come to a very destructive head).

The criticism of Marvel’s house style is more or less on point. But it seems absurd to level the criticism that everything is too funny when Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies brooded their way to a giant haul of cash at around the same time that the Marvel approach came together. BvS is not daring to be different;…

My big problem is not that these representations of these characters are bad per se; but that they are not the ones that really should part of their main canon. They would make a great sorta “Elseworld” telling after we have a number of movies under our belt. It actually felt like a better setup for something like…

Nah, you don’t get it, this film is “more complex.” That means it’s good in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh dimensions but that in our normal four-dimensions you can’t detect its goodness.

As a DC and Batman fan, I am not associated with those people who claim to be fan and say “This movie is amazing! Marvel idiots just don’t get it!” Also here:

This is a terrible excuse for a hot take about a movie that’s got as much depth and value as Atlas Shrugged.

I must say, the “Marvel Method” contains 2 seasons of Daredevil and 1 season of Jessica Jones.

Donald Trump isn’t like any other politician and that’s why he’s great

“Ang Lee’s Hulk, a forgotten classic”

I have yet to see someone defend this movie without criticizing Marvel. It’s a mediocre movie by its own.

probably the worst defense of the movie I have found on the internet so far. Congratulations.

This is as bad if not worse then the yahoo “Marvel fans can’t comprehend how deep Batman v Superman is” articles

If you keep repeating it’s good, maybe you’ll believe yourself.

You know what? I totally disagree with you, but I like that you can just say that without the need to get defensive or insult anyone.

I never got that mentality... if you’re only interested in the exciting visuals, why see a movie at all? You could just wait until someone uploads all the fight scenes and watch them on Youtube. If I’m actually going to go watch a film I’d like for the story to at least not be so bad that it distracts me from enjoying…

If you thought Age of Ultron was bad then I’d wager you’ll poke your eyes out with rusty spoons by the end of this one.

I dunno. I find io9's actual reviews to be generally good and even-handed.
