Meets expectations, so long as you're reasonable.

So, this movie was met by critics with poor reviews and pitchforks, prior to the official release. Having seen it myself since then, I can honestly say I have no idea why. Almost every complaint about it is how it fails to adequately comment on social, philosophical, or religious dilemmas.
Did you and I watch the same trailers, "professional" critics? This movie never dressed itself up to be any of that. It had a simple message - God vs. Man, "normal" human vs. what we usually consider to be a true super hero. Just how far can the man take it? That's it, and it was pretty clear throughout the entirety of the film.
I think some of these people also have a hard time splitting up character statements, from the statements/feelings of the director. Just because a character acts crazy, and tries to pander his skewed dogma, does not mean it's the feelings of the cast or crew. Yet somehow it's a large part of the not so diverse negatives that people have tried to point out.
It accomplishes its job. It's a clash between two characters we know and love, with some reconciliation to come by the end of it. Witty one liners are tossed about, the action is of a large scale, and the music was on point in my opinion. Truly, this film does not deserve the hate it was getting prior to its public release. Here's to hoping the Director's Cut changes some minds.
