Everyone has their own preferences and this deliberately corny portrayal was bound to be somewhat polarizing, but then just fucking say that. Instead you get a lot of pseuds with nonsense criticisms like
>well it's pretty good but flawed
>it's overstuffed
>it rambles for the first third
This is one of the tightest scripts I've seen in a superhero blockbuster. Every single smoking gun has a payoff. Every single character aside from maybe Hawkgirl is plot relevant. The message/themes are actually supported by the story beats and characters' actions not just superficial symbolism and exposition. If anything, I think people are experiencing the opposite. The movie is so efficient with its time that it never stops to linger and indulge in some gravitas.
Compare to Nolan who is also a good director but suffers from pacing issues because he really drags some scenes to establish THE SCALE OF THE IMPLICATIONS and then awkwardly rushes others that are more important to the plot or character development. Superman doesn't have any such problems. I felt like I understood the characters' motivations and their actions felt reasonable. In a Nolan movie you usually have a couple scenes where a character is sobbing about why they did something stupid that moves the plot forward.
