It was criticized because it was a poorly paced, poorly motivated, borderline incoherent movie.
And yes, John Williams
John Williams and Hans Zimmer are both definitely greatness.
Not sure you can place one above the other though.
As for the pacing of BvS, it was fine. The motivation was there, although I agree that it could have been done better (Superman is a goody-goody while Batman is the "Dark" Knight who enjoys beating the crap out of the bad guys). As for being incoherent, that was due to the dream sequence that the comic com people seemed to want.
At least these points are better than the moronic one about a 93 on Rotten Tomatoes being meaningless.
First off, I won't rehash the full BvS argument (there's a whole thread of that), but it was poorly paced, the characters had no to really odd motivations that didn't always make sense, technology was sporadically applied, various events just didn't make sense and/or weren't explained, the plot jumps around, and the defining moment that the film pivots on is about two characters' moms' names. Like any other film you're welcome to love it, but it wasn't a well put together film. As a friend of mine aptly put it, it felt like a movie made by committee (which is probably pretty accurate).
As per RT, good lord dude get over it already. No one has said it's meaningless and almost everyone on here has been really positive about the film and said they really enjoyed it. That doesn't mean it was a perfect movie, however, and like any other film it's open to criticism. There's other highly regarded films I didn't like and other not critically acclaimed ones that I loved, just like with all movies everyone is entitled to their opinion and no film is indefensible.
