Sounds to me like a bunch of butthurt hipster pussies who would rather be "different" by bashing a film that is not only visually stunning and testosterone fueled, but one with actual substance. A rebirth of an American Icon told by one of the best storytellers walking the earth. Any film that isnt about drinking a Caffè caramel macchiato latte frappacinno with half a splenda and cream while bitching and whining about their parents and life just isnt "cool". Reviews like "whatever" scream some dude/chic that is pale white, "skinny" jeans and a tight florescent v-neck t-shirt with hipster black glasses on with the above described concoction in hand. If someone cant appreciate the vision and storytelling of Nolan, they clearly have issues. Im sure getting stoned and watching Seth Rogan talk about weed and the end of the world is much cooler to bandwagon than MOS.
Or.....Maybe im just getting old

Have you seen the movie? How do you already love it?
Edit: I kind of hate critics, most of them. I've made that know on here for a while now. For some of the reasons you mentioned. If a critics top few films each year aren't indie or foreign films it's like it's a sin and you aren't a legit critic. I guess that's what you mean by hipster. Most go into a movie with their mind made up on certain movies and that's that. If they dislike a movie and over time it ends up being considered an all time great they just change their opinion in it and say they love it now. Like its impossible for a popcorn flick to be one of the best movies of the year to a main critic.
But aren't you doing the same thing with this? You haven't even seen the movie but yet it's visually striking and has actual substance. Same as critics do with certain movies. And it's superman, it might turn out to be a fantastic, fun, killer movie. But there's only so much substance superman can have.

Even if you "hate critics", you can still get a pretty good idea what the vibe is by an aggregation of reviews.
Critics as a collective don't just hate a movie to be cool.
Nolan's Batman trilogy was critically acclaimed. The Avengers was acclaimed..Iron Man, etc, etc.
Why would they suddenly think it's cool to bash Superman?
Maybe their criticisms are fairly accurate? who knows
