Interesting. I myself also thought the same:

What was "ambiguous" about the ending for BvS?
Superman dies but was already cast in the Justice League film so we know he comes back to life.
Nothing "original" about the score but I'm sure the academy will give this a nod out of sympathy. -

Never in my original post did I indicate if I liked either film or supported either director. These queries are posted objectively based on numerous outputs I've received from people over the last few months.
Just trying to get a gauge is all.

Can we please stop with the Blade Runner comparisons?
- BvS had higher expectations from its studio, and was designed to help them catch up to Marvel. Blade Runner a totally new type of production to pull off at its time. There was not much to compare how it looked and felt in a motion picture then. BvS however is not a first for its kind - Superhero based films have already climbed the mountain and the big team up has already been done by Marvel with The Avengers.
- Most movies now have large budgets, huge sets, special effects, and costuming. With an example like this you might as well list "they are both movies" too.
- Yes, however Blade Runner was still considered unique and different and had more than a few things going for it, BvS' critical backlash was pretty big and it seems the most universally liked aspects of the film are Ben Affleck's Batman and Wonder Woman's cameo.
- What cult status is there for BvS? I've yet to see it anywhere.
- So?
- Yes, but Blade Runner's DC improved the existing movie so much that it created a larger following and its reputation grew stronger, BvS' DC has done no such thing or has in any way made the theatrical cut any better to watch on its own.
- So?
- BvS is not more philosophical than what it was advertised, Blade Runner was.
- BvS is not considered underrated or underappreciated, what is praised is praised what is disliked is generally disliked by a lot of people.
- True, but Scott was an still is an innovator, he and his brother Tony helped create the "flare" most modern major releases try to go for. Snyder's not innovative or particularly unique.
- I do not believe BvS will gain better appreciation unless forthcoming DC films manage to fix some of the issues people had with it that add to a narrative they can see progress or introduced in BvS.
