I wasn't aware people had a "Nickelback" level of hate towards Zack Snyder but so it seems.
These 2 movies are not the next Star Wars or Star Trek but they are by no mean as bad as people make them out to be.
With Part 1 & 2 we have 2 quite entertaining Space Action Scifis, with good special effects and acceptable acting and plot. These are not meant to be Academy Award nominated dialogues or scripts. They are meant to entertain you and I can't see how a sci-fi fan wouldn't find them fun.
As for the plot being just every big sci-fi blockbusters blended together, all I have to say is... if we can accept Avatar being "Pocahontas in Space" then we shouldn't have any problem accepting this as "Magnificent Seven in Space" or "Seven Samurai in space".
I do believe that over time these will have a cult following and if people could just let themselves enjoy something fun maybe we could have a new cool cinematic universe here but with the reception they're getting it's doubtful.
