I really enjoyed this movie although there are a few things that definitely stood out that holds JL back from being well-rounded.
1. Pacing/Transitions. One thing I enjoyed about WW was the fact that it flowed a lot better in my opinion compared to BvS (theatrical cut). The beginning of JL was choppy and from what I understand they had to make the movie less than 2 hours via the WB CEO. You definitely see that in the pacing which the movie honestly needed about 15-20 more minutes to smooth things out.
2. Villain. Steppenwolf overall was a pretty good villain but could have been more. One thing that disappoints me about any superhero movie are villains that aren't fully utilized to their potential.
Those are the two things that stood out to me the most about JL that left me wanting more of a better product.
On the other hand, the character development is really good. I enjoyed Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman. Ezra Miller is a great Barry Allen. Ray Fisher & Jason Mamoa fit their characters really well. WW, Batman, and Superman were all great but it was nice to see JL uplift the new superheroes & pave their way for their future solo movies, etc.
The movie was really fun, jokes were there and most of them were well timed. The overall tone was light-hearted than BvS, but I personally liked BvS being a darker tone.
There are two end credit scenes! Be sure to stay!!! I believe the way that JL ended it opens up a realm of possibilities for DC. I am excited about the future and what DC does with their characters. I know they're 5 movies in right now but they're learning from their mistakes for the most part. This franchise has a bright future as long as they continue to not make the same common mistakes that plagued a lot of their other movies.
8.5/10.
