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

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 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

Flopped when originally released, but may commentators think that that was due to the success of ET. No one wanted to see a film about a shape shifting murdering alien , after seeing the rather wonderful, but friendly ET.

Both The Thing and Blade Runner got mixed reviews when they opened. BvS got savaged, and quite rightly so, which is not the same thing at all. Both films were fairly innovative and groundbreaking, in different ways: BvS is neither.

If you have to ask, then it's not very likely.
When Blade Runner was released and failed, no one ever asked that question. The assumption was that it would be forgotten permanently.
To get the best perspective on this, you'd need to look at all of the releases that came out alongside both films for that year.
