I thought this movie was spectacular!

You conveniently ignored my point of Captain America 2011 having a mere one-tenth of a point lead over BvS, by the way. You were going on and on about how BvS's score is "absurdly low," how it's proof of poor reception from the general audience, yet a beloved Marvel movie has just about the same score. Explain that one.
Captain America: The First Avenger
was a solid origin movie for a (worldwide) not overly popular character. For me personally it's one of the few CBMs that I came to appreciate more and more over the years, but it wasn't exactly a groundbreaking blockbuster when it came out.
BvS had DC's two biggest characters together in a movie for the first time (arguably the biggest superheroes in general besides Spider-Man), both of which had beloved and acclaimed movies in the past (Batman alone two big hits a few years prior), as well as the first big screen appearance ever of the most important female superhero in the world. It was one of the most hyped superhero movies of all time.
Cap TFA was about an old-fashioned character called Captain
America
, who basically dresses in the American flag, and who in the past had a bunch of mostly ridiculed (TV) movies on his rsum.
One movie had more or less everything going for it, the other not very much, except for smaller expectations. So it is quite fascinating that the latter is actually even slightly better rated. -

Completely agree, BVS is a spectacular film, especially the Ultimate Edition, a great story of on examining prejudice against the unknown. Unfortunately, the film is unappropriated and frankly criminally underrated.
