Superman is finally superman. They finally got the characterization right.
Everything I've seen leads me to believe I will enjoy this one. Keep seeing review after review knocking it but that doesn't surprise or concern me. Not expecting it to be quite at Wonder Woman level but I'm pretty confident it won't be another Batman v. Superman or god forbid..........Suicide Squad (shudders) Really hope they keep the momentum from WW going because while I enjoy what Marvel puts out, I've always been a DC guy.
I liked it more than I thought I would. I'd say it doesn't quite hit the avengers standard, but it comes close.
The good:
The actors. All 6 hold their own and mesh very well. I am not a huge fan of the whole "Aquabro" characterization but it wasn't nearly as prevalent as the trailers would lead you to believe.
The tone: It struck the right balance between drama and comedy for me. Whedon didn't get a chance to go full Whedon on the movie and Snyder didn't get a chance to go full Snyder on it either. That's a good thing imho.

The bad:
The cgi was not as polished as it should have been. Cyborg and Steppenwolf were distracting throughout, and some of the action looked like mid 2000s rubber man action.
Non fleshed out villain/confusing motivation. I'm not hurting it too hard, because other than Zod or Loki all comic book movies are guilty of this, but it'd be nice for the villains reasoning/history be made clear.
Slamming aquaman/ the flash/ cyborg into the film with next to no introduction. The lack of set up films for all characters hurts the group dynamic of everyone being equals. I just found myself more interested in Batman, wonder woman and superman because of their past history.

WW was as good as the good Marvel movies and reviewed that way. I challenge anyone to watch Thor 2, AntMan and Batman vs Superman and honestly tell me Thor 2 and AntMan are radically better...
Suicide squad was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in the theatre and I have a bias for this genre. Outside of Will Smith, the whole movie was a cringe fest
I didn't finish BvS. I thought it was way too long, boring, etc. Never saw Thor 2. Ant-Man was a fun little movie. That makes it much better than BvS.
