Holy cow these reviews are brutal. I didn't like MOS but I honestly thought this looked better.

This... was expected.
I always had a tiny sliver of hope for this movie, as well as my own personal reasons for wanting it to get rightfully, critically, slammed. But I'm still praying that it makes bank at the weekend box office.
WB needs to rethink a lot of things, but it sounds like maybe Batman's still salvageable if Suicide Squad does well?
Or perhaps it's time to double down and fix shit in Justice League.

I don't think that's the case. Nolan's films weren't chastized for being too dark or unfun, because they were really well made movies. It sounds like this one is just dull.
Those are the same words I would use to describe Fantastic Four. Did you see Fantastic Four?
I envision a road trip comedy with him, Brett Ratner and McG.

Wait, people are arguing that critics are too good for comic films?
The same critics that gave an R rated goofy ass comic movie with a giant Russian metal man in it great reviews about a month ago?
Weird. It's almost like they give good movies good reviews and bad movies bad reviews regardless of genre. But that can't be!

You liked Man of Steel right? Critics didn't. This is going to be the same sorta thing.

These reviews are quite abstract in their criticism. It seems that the film lacks any real identity as it tries to present a philosophical narrative whilst balancing CGI fight sequences. Whilst I didn't expect this to redefine the genre, it makes me more curious about the film to try to understand exactly how it fell flat. If it did at all.
Perhaps pacing? Acting? Script?
If you take these reviews at first glance, they seem to imply this film is one step away from inducing a family death.
They sound insulted at the film's portrayal of itself as a thinking man's superhero movie whilst not doing enough to justify it. That doesn't mean it's not a good film.

No it seems to be worse
The 20% score seems taken from Top Critics. The actual percentage seems to be lower than that on All Critics though (which doesn't have a number yet at least on my end).

Apparently the studio made so many changes to his script it's not even recognizable.
Strangely enough, Nolan was involved in the decision making of having Zack Snyder lead the future of DC instead of Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code)

That's not top critics though.
Not much, a lot of people will go during the first weekend, but if the film really is not that great then the word of mouth will affect it past the first weekend.
At least MoS had more than 50%. I'm not sure BvS can even reach that.

I don't know, some of the critics calling the movie "humorless" and "not fun", looks like they want another Marvel movie full of jokes and don't like this one because it have a more serious tone
But well, it's a Zack Snyder movie so maybe the critics are right. Tomorrow I will discover

Reviews all seem to have the same critiques. How long before we can expect an RT consensus?

They're not disliking the tone "just because". These are a lot of the same critics who loved Nolan's Batman trilogy.
They're saying Snyder didn't pull it off.
There's a difference.

Please just be better than Man of Steel. No one was expecting this to be Dark Knight Trilogy tier, but it shouldn't be hard to beat Man of Steel.
