will BvS ever get reappraised like Blade Runner or The Thing?

Both those movies were negatively reviewed at their time of release only to be given classic states about a decade on..
I wonder if BvS will be similar? -

No.
Blade Runner was a far more unique ad difficult film to digest for its time, it took time for its audience to grow on it and digest it better with more viewings, now it reception is much better than when it was in 1982.
Batman v Superman I can't following the same path, its approach to its parent genre isn't unique enough or its handled in such a way that more viewings can really enrich the experience better to the point where it becomes ten times the film it already was in your eyes. It can only become better received if future DCEU movies somehow improve it with references, reflections, explanations, etc. -

Noinnovation aside(blade runner is an adaptation) their is nothing of note in dawn of justice that provokes thought. I believe the prequel trilogy will get Positive viewed overtime before dawn of justice is even rewatched by anyone and my dislike for the prequels is no secret

I don't recall The Thing having negative reviews at the time to be honest, all that I recall was people talking about how good it was. I really don't think that BvS has any hidden qualities that will be revealed in years to come, I guess that we can only wait and see though.
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock -

To be fair and honest, The Thing got SAVAGED by the critics at the time of release. It wasn't until years later when it got cult status that it was re-evaluated.
Could this happen to BvS? Sure. Anything can happen. HOWEVER, given that BvS is just not a good film with a mish-mosh script replete with plot holes, time jump and logical fallacies, I think fans of it or DC Zealots should be praying the critics never look at it again. -

No. When those films were released, the only place to watch any blockbuster films, was at the cinmea. You had to wait years (At least in the UK) for those films to make it to TV. Video was still in its infancy . So, the reason that it took years for those films to be recognised as the classics they were discovered on the video and TV market (eventually). Even the haters of BVS , have seen the film more than once now. Nothing is going to change regarding this film
