A lot of the negativity surrounding this film seems to be around the fact that the movie is philosophical. What so movies are not allowed to be thought provoking at all?
The other negative aspect I seem to stumble upon is that it is not like Marvel, because it lacks the humour of Marvel films. So? They never marketed the film as a comedy. If they did, than yes, it would be a failure. Not every movie has to have a catch phrase in every scene. Hell that is what I disliked about The Avengers. The humour was forced. They tried to turn every scene into a joke. Even Loki was a punchline for the Hulk to push around. Also, if the Hulk was always angry he would always be the Hulk. I think they missed the point of Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk when he is angry.
Essentially the complaints are: If you were expecting this movie to be like Marvel, it isn't, so it is not very good.
How is this supposed to be taken seriously? If DC and Marvel were the same, superhero movies would get stale really fast.
I really enjoyed Deadpool and Daredevil. Two Marvel properties that are completely different to one another. They both respect the source material and were executed excellently.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice looks like it is truthful to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. This can only mean good things. Frank Miller's comic was not humourous, so why should this movie deviate from that?

@bolded: I completely agree. I don't want DC and Marvel to be the same. I'm glad they're taking different approaches to their respective Cinematic Universes. It'll ensure that they don't all start feeling the same.
