Batman V. Superman Pre-Review Opinions and Speculations

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2016)

This is my Pre-Review prior to seeing the movie. I have not seen the film, though I will begin by stating my pre-opinions about the film and critics. So far the film is receiving aid by die-hard comic fans, but serious blows by critics on Rotten Tomatoes. A major abyss has divided said fans and critics apart, seen in the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes Reviews. IMDb, with a current 8.9/10 stars, compared to Rotten Tomatoes, with a current 39%, has caused severe turmoil between the two websites. While the fans have nothing but good things to say, with the exception of a few, critics are destroying what we so rightfully built up. The hype was real, and still is very real for me, though some part of me is ACTUALLY hurt. The gap is evident and can be seen by just typing in "Batman V. Superman".
My speculation is that most critics saw this movie without seeing a lick of Man of Steel, while others went to see the movie without knowledge of ANY comics. I'm not saying that their opinions don't matter, but when the exact same statements arise such as "Confusing plot, slow start, not enough action, and bad acting" sprout through reviews from critics all across the globe, not only does it make me a bit suspicious of the truth, but what exactly went wrong if all of this is true? My expectations will be soaring high heading into the theaters, and I know I won't be disappointed. The vast majority of critics are weighing heavily upon this film, not just with low scores, but with unnecessary judgement. The concern over the gap has really got me thinking. Many comic book fans and movie fans say that it was one of the best if not THE best superhero movie of all time. I won't go that far until I see it, but my detective in me knows that critics are being harsh and unnecessary JUST TO tick us off. Likewise, I do believe some are heartfelt and true, but the vast majority are there to bring you down. Again, I know not whether critics are just stone cold and liars, or truthful people. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but when gaps that big spread from fans to critics, the honesty in said critics has me a bit on edge.
