I don't get the hate either.
I got back to work yesterday from vacation, and a co-worker -- who's a bigger Superman fan than I am -- asked what I thought of the movie. I said I loved it. He did too. We compared notes and had very similar takes and reactions to stuff.
I can't say that I'm a big Snyder fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by his "Dead" remake, thought "300" was fine and I really liked "Watchmen," being a fan of the graphic novel (I have not seen "Sucker Punch"). So when he was announced for MoS, I was neutral on it. I carried no Snyder baggage or expectations into the film. I was more thrilled to see Nolan involved with it.
It's odd seeing the wildly different reactions to MoS. I'm not sure why that is. Some of the critiques I've read (not so much here), I could provide specific rebuttals that had me wondering how or why the reviewer could miss something that the film obviously addressed. (My co-worker has had the same experience.)
I found the movie emotionally enriching, which I didn't get from IM3 or Star Trek. To each his own, I guess. I'm just puzzled by how polarizing the film is.
