its because his movies are usually mediocre...

Well not according to my taste. It's weird because I don't like some of the highly rated comic book movies nearly as much as reviewers either

I'm actually starting to think Marvel movies are getting the Nintendo pass.  They get high ratings because they're Marvel.  There was so much wrong with Avengers 2 for instance, yet I don't see anyone talking about them in reviews.

Eh it's Snyder and his movies usually get mediocre reviews for some reason. Really liked both Watchmen and man of Steel so I'm going to see it soon!

Because they are mediocre

BvS I saw coming a mile away.

Next awful movie? Ghostbusters. There's a sexist teaser released with Hemsworth looking for a job. This completely goes against the feminist movement this movie had.

Lego batman looks awesome

Saw Batman/Superman yesterday.  Great movie.  Really don't know what the reviewers were watching.

Like there's a few things here and there, but it's that, things here and there and in every movie.  Nothing mind blowingly stupid.

They were watching a sequel to a crud movie with a more crud storyline

Man of Steel was a great movie, best Superman movie made that isn't animated.  Batman/Superman has a great storyline.  For comparison I found more wrong (and the plot worse) with Avengers 2 and more execution problems (And general lack of direction) with Force Unleashed.  Those movies got ridiculously high ratings.  The funniest thing I found about reviewers complaining about, was the thing that they spent the most time with.  World building and characters.  They complained about a lack of it, when they spent hours on it.  There was some fallacy, but I can understand why Superman and Batman had to fight, and it made more sense than when Miller did it in the 80s.  That graphic novel is considered, by these same critics, as the greatest Batman graphic novel ever.  They complain about Superman, yet he puts people in danger as his utmost priority in this film.  Superman was no sociopathic killer as reviewers claimed him to be.  Batman wasn't some sociopathic killer as reviewers made him out to be.  Where the reviewers got both those ideas is beyond me and I'd like to watch what they were watching.  Hell, I was expecting a lot of brooding from Batman.  Yet there wasn't any.  I remember reading a reviewer about how Snyder did Watchman better in Batman/Superman than in Watchman, yet the theme of should there be Superman, is such a small part of the film.

My problem with Man of Steel had nothing to do with the characters or the world building.

My biggest problem with it, was that it just kind of felt like 3 movies that they just tied together kinda awkwardly.

I found Man of Steel ridiculously boring. I didn't care for any of the characters, not much really happened in it. The only reason I'd watch BvS is because of the Batman side. I loved the Dark Knight trilogy.

A few of my friends went to see BvS and they said its not that great and not really worth it. I trust them, so I'm not watching it in cinema.

Man of Steel, explained superman's powers retardedly. What the fudge was the codex besides retarded? Butchered lois lanes existence. Didn't understand that gravity doesn't negate black holes pull. Killed Jonathan off in the most stupid way. Jonathan straight up tells a young Clark to let a school bus full of kids die next time. Clark just spills his guts to the first reporter to show... Should I go on?

My sister works in a theater. I go see most movies just because it's free. Very few movies aren't worth even seeing for free.

Add me to the hate train for Man of steel. Everything in it was just so average, and they made superman feel underpowered.

I think bvs looks much better, but I'm worried it ends with a huge cliffhanger.

[the-pi-guy]

A lot of people were bothered by a couple scenes.

Spoiler for Hidden:

why didn&#39;t Superman save his dad. why didn&#39;t he do something the destruction. &nbsp;Stuff like that. &nbsp; <br>

 Like I said before the biggest problem I had was just it felt disjointed.  
Like Superman origin story almost should have been separate from the Zod stuff.  IMO
 
It's a lot to pack in and I think it suffered a lot for that and other reasons.  

Superman's power is kinda hard though.  From what I understand the comics were mostly about the challenge of being an outsider kind of thing.  It wasn't difficulty with saving the world, which I think is actually what movies tend to deal with.  So we end up with generally underpowered Superman.

By explaining his powers retardedly, do you mean 100% comic based?  Superman gets all his powers from the sun.  It's been this way for maybe 50 years now.  It's been this way in every medium.  You'd have to know nothing about Superman (Which I suspect is the case for the majority of people complaining about these two films) to complain about that.

The codex was the basis of Kryptonian life.  They've been engineering people instead of procreation for millenia.  Not sure if it's this way in the comics.  It was more or less used to show Superman was siding with his new world instead of insane Zod.  Superman was willing to destroy Krypton's future to stop Zod and save earth.  You know, selflessly saving people as people complains he does do in these films (Which he does). 

They didn't butcher Lois Lane's existence.  She's a hardcore reporter willing to get herself nearly killed to get her story.  That's exactly as they portrayed her here. 

The gravity/blackhole thing wasn't anything other than the phantom zone.  Snyder just tried to explain how it would possibly work.  Phantom Zone has been in the comics for a long time.  Goyer/Snyder just modified it to fit their story, which wasn't poorly done.

If you can't understand why Jonathan died, because he felt so deeply the world wasn't ready for Superman.  I don't know what to tell you.  Jonathan felt he was doing what was right.  If Superman came out that way, it could possibly have been a disaster.  Part of this reasoning is dealt with in Man of Steel where Superman's actions are questioned.  Same goes with the school bus.  But if you listen to what Jonathan said, he said "Maybe" as in, he doesn't know what the right thing is to do.  Which is why he let himself die to protect his son.  Which is what any good father would do.

You do realize Lois found a paper trail left by Clark, which is how she found him?  You know, showing off her reporter skills which you're apparently complaining about.  He was willing to talk because he felt she was trust worthy.  Plus transparency.  His father was so worried about what would happen if Superman was discovered, now that it was going to happen, Clark was going to be transparent.  So that people don't come to him with pitchforks.

Superman under powered?  You crazy?  He caused trillions of dollars in damages.    On top of that he managed to take Zod up into Space in minutes and they both came back down in reminiscence of gods.  My dad actually said, when we were watching that part "What if people like that exist in the universe and came here to take over.  What would we do?".  Plus they're portraying Superman on the high end of his portrayals.  Like, how absurd he is in comics currently is how he is in this movie.  Still the most physically strongest being shown in movies.
