Well, it certainly wasn't a great movie but it was entertaining.

Spoiler!

To keep it simple I'll break down the good and the bad.

Good:
-It's every one of our inner 8 year old's fantasy on the big screen
-The Flash was well done. They need to change up his suit, IMO, but the lightning effects were cool and he got more than a few laughs out of my theater.
-Aquaman and Mera were pretty cool, though the Atlantis scene could have benefitted from the Aquaman standalone film coming first.
-Green Lantern cameo. I was worried they'd try and form the league without him. Now they just need to find a way to include Martian Manhunter and Shazam.
-Deathstroke and the Legion of Doom. **** yes.
-However gratuitous that Supes vs the League scene was, it was awesome. I loved how he was tracking Flash's movements as he was grappling the others.

The bad:
-Way too much green screen.
-Shitty CGI. There was a scene where Cyborg turns his head and the effects just looked like absolute shit. Superman's upper lip looked bad. Most action scenes with Wonder Woman were poorly done, I thought.
-It was obviously rushed and missing scenes, particularly Cyborg telling Batman he didn't think he was real and Alfred talking to whoever saying "he told me you'd come; let's just hope it isn't too late".
-Forgettable villain. He was seriously as bad as Malekith from Thor 2.
-They used the same plot from Man of Steel. Bad guy wants to take over Earth and transform it into his home world a la WMD.
-The Russian family that existed solely to be rescued. So pointless.
-Batman took a big step back in this iteration. He was essentially reduced to comic relief and he looks fat, old and slow. Nothing like that absolutely brutal warehouse scene in BvS this go 'round.
-The comedy often fell flat and frankly just feels out of place in these gritty ass D.C. movies. I will say The Flash got a couple chuckles out of me and the Lasso of Truth on Aquaman and Superman carrying the apartment building to safety were ****ing hilarious.
-The ****ing Nightstalker? What the hell kind of bush league shit is that? It was a ****ing spider. Everyone knows Bat tech has to be bat-related! Batarangs, batmobile, batplane, anti-shark bat repellant. Gah!

Anyway, I'm excited to see where things go.

Assuming they don't blow it all up, the next JL film could be the Legion of Doom or Darkseid himself. I'm down for either one.
