No, no, of course not. I do not wish to imply that. I just think that audiences a harsher towards Snyder because his films have illustrated, at many times, how critics can be out of touch with people. Another example of a not so well received film which was later critically regarded is The Empire Strikes Back.
And so…

I have a PhD.

Your are right as to the scientific reliability of online polls. They do, however, seem to find correlation with box-office results, in the sense that independently of the RT score, box-office hits seems to be correlated to high IMDB scores (even if panned). What I am trying to say, is that yes, marketing does…

There are actually many examples in which a "turd" (again a "turd" in the opinion of an "enlightened" few) does turn out to be considered great in the future. Commonly, these are "turds" that are widely accepted by audiences. Citizen Kane, for example, and The Wizard of Oz were both critically panned in their time. As…

I disagree. Matters such as "plot holes" and "bad story telling" are grounded on assumptions on what a "story" is and how "should a plot be structured".

Yes, you are right, marketing (and the general subject of the movie) have and intense influence on how many people watch it. Two things about my argument, however, must be pointed out in this rehired. First I am not only talking about BVS, but rather about the difference between the reception of Snyder's work by both…

Actually no, at least not if you consider that aesthetic tastes change with time. Something, further, that seems to be suggested by history. This is, if there is a huge discrepancy between the opinion of the general public and the opinion of critics, then in order to claim that the critics are right, you would need to…

Critics are being way to harsh with this movie. And I do think there is a perfectly good explanation for this. It is not a "conspiracy" and, no, Marvel/Disney is not paying them off. The reason I think this is so, is because the historical reaction to Zach Snider films from audiences vis a vis film critics serves as a…
