Apart from all the major Marvel fanboys, the critics are literally the only ones I've seen saying bad things about BvS so far (I have only seen comments on social media and this forum though FYI), so something tells me the critics weren't paid enough to praise the movie this time.
Snyder hasn't made a bad film yet IMO... Man of Steel is easily the best Superman film out there, 300 is a classic, Dawn of the Dead is one of the best remakes that I've seen, Sucker Punch is tons of fun and full of awesome! His weakest film would be Legend of the Guardians, but even that was still very enjoyable. I personally think Watchmen is his masterpiece though... not only is it one of my favourite comic book movies, but it's one of my favourite movies period.
No amount of negative reviews/ratings for this movie will make me any less excited to see it. Unfortunately, I probably won't get the chance to see it in the cinema, but will buy multiple editions once it's out on Blu-ray.
I agree with your run down of his films but I really don't get the whole sucker punch thing. It's soemthing people should hate but instead they like it. It's a strange one to me but watchmen is definately his masterpiece and man of steel is easily the best superman film.
Although I'm a marvel fanboy in a way I'm not biased against DC, yeah there's some stupid characters in my opinion (Aquaman! F*cking Aquaman! don't worry I felt the same toward antman until I see the film) but I'm also a huge batman fan and he (aswel as spiderman for marvel) has some of the best villains in his world and also has the greatest comic book villain of all time.... The joker.
I take no notice of critics either and prefer reading (if I do) normal people's reviews but critics did write great things about x men, x men 2, days of future past, guardians, the avengers, the winter soldier, batman begins, the dark knight and a few more so maybe this isn't as great as it should be.
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here but there are a lot of people on here that like stuff a bit over the top and these huge CGI films with no substance and we see it when a film is announced in steel and people are going mad for it before it's out and so and so.
I'm a lover of big action films and super hero films but sucker punch is the perfect example of film where people go nuts for but I don't really think they like the film properly, it's just some sexy women loads of action and some dodgy CGI in places plus the fighting and random Shiz in that film becomes a bit boring after a while. Just an example.
Another is pacific rim. Yeah the fighting, CGI and last 30 mins are epic but when you look at the film properly everyone is acting at their worst, there's a huge middle part where **** all happens and bores the hell out of you and you have a half arsed Elba, hunnam is trying too hard because it's it's first blockbuster and is the worst I've seen him act, Ron pearlman is taking the p*ss out of the film and the director (his mate) didn't even realise, the tw*t from eastenders was cast! That alone says it all And he had the worst Australian accent in history of film and it was a predictable film but the action was great. Also del toro can do better than that (but then again hellboy 2 wasn't great but the first was pretty much perfect). That's not enough for me now I'm getting a bit older. When I left the cinema I enjoyed it and then I started thinking about it plus my mates couldn't Belive I liked it so I watched it again and completely see how bad it is except the action.
Same as dark knight rises, Nolan messed that up so much but that it will take too much time for me to write where it went wrong but again parts are great and it took me a few watches for me to realise how bad it was.
Yeah I'm excited for certain films but if they are bad I'll admit it.
And I've already noticed manta lab are taking everyone for the ride before releasing their first steel which I knew would happen.
People saying it's the package to get before you've even seen their man of steel and what their quality is like. It's quite laughable but hey ho
Another thing is empire have given this 3 out of 5 which I noticed earlier. I found that strange as they clearly get paid by studios to ramp up reviews and when it's a superhero film the standard they usually give is 4 and sometimes 5.
Just a thought. Maybe they have finally decided to grow a backbone and not accept a cheque!
All the negatively around this from critics and some normal viewers still won't stop me from watching it and we all have different tastes but sometimes I wish the usual colprates can admit if they thought it was rubbish or over the top or over kill, or needed more story and less CGI etc
Also I really hope certain big film franchises stop putting too much in trailers like this one. Star Wars managed it, civil war is managing it to name a few.
I have stuck a pre order though in from hmv purley because I like batman, have the majority of super hero steels, have man of steel and I'm more interested in the uncut version of this which if true we will see straight away in home release.
I do still hope I get to see this before home release and if I don't think it's that great then I'll cancel and wait for a price drop but at the end of the day I'll still own it to add to the DC collection (plus did I mention batman?)
Glad you enjoyed it! 
I absolutely LOVE Catwoman! 
I hope!
