Overall I enjoyed the movie despite some pacing and tonal issue largely stemming from shift in director and studio mandate to get it to 2 hours. I think this is sort of a soft reboot for DC seeing what worked with Wonder Woman and issues with Batman v Superman.
Highlights: Wonder Woman and Superman behaving like themselves and being awesome
Lowlights: Generic plot keeping this from being something special
Mixed Feelings: Aquaman, Cyborg, and Flash all needed time or solo projects to develop them.
I give it a solid 7/10 with hopefully promise of great things to come. I fully admit to wanting to own it just so I can rewatch Wonder Woman steal the show (the hostage scene alone).
In terms of financials, I overestimated the first Justice League as apparent Warner Bros. rushed to get here and burned capital with audiences. Now looks to bee $800,000,000 rather than billion I thought it could be.
