We all lean that way except when they tell us what we want to hear. Then it's "the reviews are so good for this. I can't wait!"

On the other hand, I can't remember the last time a movie had such consistently negative reviews, and especially where the complaints were as consistent as these have been, and where the movie turned out to be really good. If anything, compiled reviews are usually too kind (see: Jurassic World).

Unless you're me, in which case positive reviews for this would have made you a little concerned.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait....

Will those who have seen this movie confirm or deny this, please:
Spoiler: show
Even a little kid (like the ones who will be scarred if you take them to see this movie) knows that Batman and Superman will eventually become friends. The way it happens is so ridiculous that I wanted to throw popcorn at the screen, but this was at least two hours in and I’d already eaten it all. It hinges on a coincidence going back to the golden age of comics. Bruce Wayne’s mother and Clark Kent’s mother are both named Martha. Once Batman realises this, he lowers his fists and decides to stop hating Superman and join him on his quest to save the planet. That’s it. That’s all it takes. Warner Brothers is banking a zillion-dollar franchise on asinine writing like this. May Zod have mercy on us all.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
