Why didn't the critics like BvS?

>>80106135
I think there was such a knee-jerk reaction in general to it. Critics were harsh, Armond White had to gravitate the opposite way and give it love.

I felt like it was very mediocre, but definitely not deserving of how lowly it was received. I remember 10 Cloverfield Lane came out around the same time and got like 80-90% on RT, which I felt was bullshit one way or the other because BvS was far more cohesive as a movie.

I think what it was was that critics were either paid off by Disney/Marvel or more realistically, they were big superhero fanboys and were disillusioned by the whole ridiculous premise in the title instead of trying to enjoy the ride.

Too conservative

Because it was a shit film

Let's all agree to stop talking about it

I love these threads.
Keep up the good word

snyder wanted to pull a nolan and botched it pretty hard by making it dull and uninteresting.

Stop bringing the film up. Literally no one wants to talk about it and then DC fans will say "see they're talking about it, that means muh film is gud"

It tried to break the colour by the numbers format that Disney is shitting out every year, to not much success

>>80106135
Too much going on.
There's a lot of small details flying over the heads of people.
I didn't even notice the jar of piss until my second watch

No quips, no stan Lee, no dance offs. Horrible film.

Dark, gritty capeshit is no longer fashionable, critics currently prefer more cartoony capeshit like Marvel and post-First Class Xmen, BvsS wasn't a masterpiece but it got more hate than it deserved, expect critics to look on it more favourably in a few years once cartoony capeshit goes out of fashion

It was a very sharp departure from the safe model set forth by the mcu. Pacing issues and skirting over key plot-points in the theatrical edition didn't help. Add a grim world, a story filled with nuances requiring reflection and an unfamiliar portrayal of iconic characters that the audience thought that they knew and it was an easy target for critics looking to gain some credence by shitting on a superhero film for being part of an oversaturated genre (apparently).

The real question is why was Civil War so heavily praised when it was Marvel's second weakest behind Age of Ultron?

The final battle was a CGI fuckfest. I couldn't tell what was happening. Shit flying. Lasers shooting. Everything exploding. Horrible.

BvS wasn't any worse or better than the recent marvel films at the time (Ultron, Civil War) but the darker tone makes the typical capshit flaws stand out more. The quips and light tone of the MCU distract the audience from the flaws obvious in the movie. While in serious, dark movies the audience spends more time in focus than giggling at references and lame jokes.

Both are awful, but BvS forgot to cover up the capshit
