What really does it mean to criticize a film for what it is?

don't actually want films that take a lot of risks.

un-calculated risks, of you don't know how to do something then you shouldn't do it.

But does this really diminish the values like production designs or performances?

no, it means that new element that was introduced was badly handled.

it tries to do so much in its 2.5hr theatrical cut, and that's the main criticism about it.

and none of it works, and there is nothing new about this either, this is what Snyder always does, did you see Sucker Punch?

and that's the main criticism about it.

no, main criticism that almost every individual element of the movie is bad, acting is bad, screenplay is bad, direction is passable, editing is bad, may scenes are unnecessary, characters aren't developed. BvS didn't try to do anything new, nothing about it was new or experimental or interesting, it was exactly in Snyder's comfort zone.

When Fury Road came out everybody talks about how fun the action is

and how little story it is.

people really want when it comes to mainstream cinema?

not badly made, boring slogs like BvS, unoriginal and dull.

The action scenes are usually fun but not great yet people don't have issues with them

many people have issues with them, people talk about it constantly, everyone criticizes Marvel to some extent.

And it got better reviews

not by much and Avengers did have some kind of emotional core unlike BvS, where one confusing pointless scene fallows the next, at least we got farm house scenes in Avengers 2.

Are we discouraging creativity by going easy on passable films?

nothing about BvS was creative or original.
