Great Movie - Unwarranted High Intensity Bad Reviews

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2016)

I can understand certain elements of the movie not sitting well with the critics, but the low ratings were so disproportionate to the points brought against it. Still do not understand the massive levels of critic reviews.
It had so much more depth and characterization than the Marvel Cinematic movies (which I liked, but those were made with stimulus junkies in mind). The messages about the media, politics, belief, and so on were weaved in well.
Anyone who can give Superman characterization gets a ton of kudos. He is one of the most difficult characters to write, and the various ways they gave him life was impressive. The characterization and human elements were very strong, and that is what the Marvel movies lacked. Joss Whedon's witty banter saves it, but this movie relied on acting and dialogue ... the non-verbal communication was masterfully executed. Affleck was strong, and his rage was built on a legit foundation. Some may not have cared for that version of Batman, but his transition throughout and until his own personal resolution towards the end again - well done.
I don't get the comments about Lois being the damsel in distress. She went to a desert, she went to DC and investigated aggressively/uncovered the culprit, she rescued Superman twice, and she was instrumental in many ways throughout.
The JL seeds were well done and have me ready for the coming of (you know who). Wonder Woman was awesome. The mega fight at the end definitely gave (insert villain) his due.
Eisenburg was fine. If people didn't care for that version of Luther, I understand.
My only guess was Snyder weaved so many things and sometimes with subtle touches ... maybe critics needed something more overt. Maybe they wanted more fisticuffs and something less intellectual. Overall, it was a great superhero movie. At least most of the fans understood.
