An unfortunate disappointment. Felt like it was trying way too hard to imitate The Avengers, which is bad enough on it's own and worse because I don't like The Avengers. I hated the forced humor and the heroes all lacked any real charisma. Batfleck, who was perhaps my favorite interpretation of The Bat in Batman V Superman, was awful in this one and totally different from that previous entry. DC, you can do better than this. Get those guts back.
Justice League
What about Wonder Woman? People expected a lot from her in the movie. I am still thinking to watch this just because of this character. Gal Gadot was awesome in Wonder Woman. Expecting her to be brilliant again in this flick too.

Yeah, I realised that the trailer scene where Alfred says "let's hope you're not too late" to an unseen character didn't show up and now I guess we'll never know who he was talking to (maybe Lois?)

I got a real "season six of Buffy" vibe from the return we did get.

I guess she's the highlight, but maybe it's because I was most excited for her that I felt underwhelmed even with WW. It's not Gadot's fault, it's the writing of the character. She had nothing to work with.
You take the kids? If so, what did they think?

Not sure how much of the problem is to do with writing so much as editing - this was originally slated to be 170 minutes before Snyder stepped aside so who knows how much has been lost simply by trying to make it short enough to get more screenings into a day.

The movie got cut down twice while in production. It was suppose to be the first of a two-part story, leading directly to Darkseid and Apokolips, then, as principal production started, Batman v Superman came out and the two film format was dropped and the ending was made more concrete. Then, I think, just before Snyder stepped out, the film was brought down to a shorter runtime.
Yeah, this was definitely trying too hard to be funny - Wonder Woman at least managed to make its jokes seem a bit more naturalistic through their scarcity whereas this went for the stereotypically Whedonesque wall-to-wall quipping even though that just resulted in more misses than hits. Such is the problem with establishing such a self-serious continuity in the previous films.

Whedon's DC of AoU, Snyder's 4 hour BvS and Ayer's original cut of SS will always be like the holy grail to me, I expect JL to be similar

I saw this with a couple of friends. What a waste of time.
What did I honestly expect? To put it bluntly: a watered down, disgusting rendition of the already played-to-death 'Superhero Movie Formula.'
I'll give them this, It definitely seems like a movie that features the forcefully thrown together visions of Zack Synder and Joss Whedon...
And Superman's Mouth... oh god.

Also, that 'Prince/David Bowie' newspaper wasn't an "easter-egg." That was shameless, desperate, and sad.
Thank you Warner Bros. for trying to capitalize on the deaths of brilliant artists.

Yeah, I was trying to point out why Whedon was filling in for Snyder and you were..... well..... thanks for the reminder though. Ahhh memories
The test screenings were horrendous, and Warner Bros. wanted someone who'd fix things (Plot, Characters, etc.) and make it "fun."
