Why are they under the assumption most fans enjoyed it?</p>

<p dir="auto">I think you guys are all ignoring the in betweens. The fanboys will be the ones to say it was phenomenal and then you have the people that hated it, some with biases of their own, and some not.<br />
Then you've got the people that thought it was okay-ish (6-7/10) which probably make up a large enough number of the RT fan score.<br />
I feel if EVERYONE disliked it.. it would be another Batman &amp; Robin scenario. I saw petitions to have Ben Affleck removed from his role before BvS came out, and didn't see any petitions after it came out.<br />
Think of it like that.</p>

<p dir="auto">$900 million plus change at the box office. No movie makes that kind of money without repeat viewings. So, either a lot of people<br />
did<br />
like it, or a<br />
lot<br />
of people who<br />
didn't<br />
like it went to see it<br />
more than once<br />
.<br />
An opinion is not offensive just because you do not agree with it.</p>

<p dir="auto">Only thing I will say is that people blame it on DC themselvesits all been under Warner Bros reckless decisions<br />
Now it should be different well see<br />
And yes Snyders storytelling is not perfect but he did a great job with Watchmen imo and that movies story is one the most complex things in comic book history</p>

<p dir="auto">What I'm trying to say is what if they start referencing things that appear in the extended cut. Things not everyone has seen.<br />
I don't think Snyder is a very good story teller. Visually  he's phenomenal but as a teller of a plot..he falls apart. I think yes probaly not all of it is his fault but I think he should not have tried to tell this massive story in one go<br />
That's why Marvel despite it's occasional missteps to me will be better at least right now is it let it's world be born bit by bit over many movies culminating in avengers. It's like a book<br />
Avengers is the end of book one<br />
DC is trying to throw everything in the pot to catch up rather  than letting it come naturally .<br />
And to go off topic and talk about DC I think they are bringing them out too fast before feedback can be considered<br />
Man of steel felt like it had some vision but now I think dc is reacting to fast without thinking how best to make it work<br />
I have to go now but it was great chatting with you</p>

<p dir="auto">Im not entirely sure if I understand your question sorry <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /><br />
I love english but sometimes I struggle <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /><br />
uncut version is only extended. More scenes (30+ minutes which is a LOT!) more character developmentespecially Clark I was so pleased he had more scenes it definitely did a lot for me<br />
they are both canon but I always prefer extended cuts because it is more immersive experienceSlower yes BUT if you love the movie there should be no problem! If you didnt why watch extended cut right?<br />
I wish we saw the version Snyder intended without Warner Bros need to start world building but Im unclear where is that line <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /><br />
Also Snyder had too much on his hands and he sometimes struggles with narrative. But I prefer this movie to MCU movies. It has that sort of organic, visceral feel to it</p>

<p dir="auto">In this movie there are clear signs of to many cooks in the kitchen. We could talk about that all day <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /> "<br />
Yeah I agree totally with this and it never helps.and yes we could discuss it all day<br />
But  you've raised a point on the uncut version. (Which I have yet to see).    Which do we see as the real movie? The  uncut  version  or the one released in theater<br />
Iis the uncut version non canon</p>

<p dir="auto">Well we are creatures who love and live by movies? We take a movie an analyse it and decide if its a good movie or not according to our standards<br />
But some people just see a movie a say if the liked it or not and thats all for them <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /><br />

I gave it 7/10 but after seeing Ultimate cut ( not that it was a huge improvement but it gave me some things I missed, mostly logical stuff) I genuinely came to love it I changed it to 8/10.<br />
It is a huge mix of things <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":D" alt="😄" /> But it has a huge re-watch value for it. I love what I see. I accepted the messy stuff and I maybe have 2 or 3 things I really thing are very wrong but despite all that it is a still quite original experience with great imagery and action</p>

<p dir="auto">No I can believe it .<br />
Just to be clear are these people who like it in spite of it's flaws or who think it has no flaws<br />
?<br />
I  mean enjoyed it a lot and gave it  a 7 out of ten.but I would never sit there and claim it was a masterpiece with no issues<br />
It has problems. The main one  for me is for it's overstuffed and trying to be about 4 different films<br />
Superman 2<br />
Batman reboot<br />
Wonder Woman intro<br />
Setting up justice league<br />
Death of superman which I felt was too rushed<br />
I feel as well  superman and batman needed to talk more<br />
And if just to be nit picky wally  shoukd have been transformed into Metallo rather than lex using doomsday<br />
To have something he can use ie he creates a protector of man made by a man</p>

<p dir="auto">I think it's more a case of 4 groups<br />
One: those who like it just because it's DC and dislike Marvel. They ignore all problems with it and invent things to explain away plot holes and issues that mostly seem to come from thin air and are never mentioned in the film. These are the ones  who deem anyone who disliked  it as a troll or just unenlightened  and didn't get it<br />
Two: people who liked it but acknowledge it's far from perfect and has some genuine flaws that should have been dealt with<br />
Three: those who dislike it because it's DC and only criticise it while ignoring any good aspects of the film<br />
Four. Those who dislike it but enjoyed aspects of it but just didn't feel the good outweighed the bad and didn't  enjoy it<br />
Just my thoughts</p>

<p dir="auto">I think there are two camps.those who liked it and those who didnt you know<br />
But internet is home for those who like to cry and whine so logically those who hated it are here <img src="https://filmglance.com/discuss/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61b.png?v=8570fb93240" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--stuck_out_tongue" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":P" alt="😛" /><br />
