I think some reviewers are just snobby and angry at how well comic book movies are doing. Perhaps critics are judging this movie as if it's the first in the series instead of the 19th, we don't need characterisation moments anymore. This is definitely a movie for the fans, who have seen all the previous ones.

I wrote my last message from a Drs. Waiting room after being there for an HR haha. The MCU is the most successful movie franchise of all time every franchise falls short when compared to them. Transformers, pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings all have made way less money than the MCU. And now the MCU is putting out great movie after great movie, but after there first 5 movies things were more rocky. If people were as harsh to the MCU then as they are to the DC films they may not have lasted this long. Be patience they will find there stride as well. That's the last I'll say about it don't want to hijack the thread.
People have patience. That's why the MCU worked. That's why WB's choice to try and cram everything together made no sense, made people angry, and made for mostly bad stories. The reviews of Cap, Thor, and Hulk 1 were all mixed at best, but the promise of a long term payoff kept people interested. The thing is, if those movies failed, they weren't wasted products. They gave themselves more chances with each character by telling smaller stories leading to larger team ups. DC wanted the payoff right now and blew it. No body cares about any character outside Batman and Wonder Woman.
I hope they can recover, but after bastardizing TDKReturns, it's almost unforgivable for me.
