I liked it. Reviewers don’t know jack. This is much better than TDKR for example. It’s better than WW and Thor IMO. It was just fine.

Yes. I liked it, but I personally thought Wonder Woman and Man of Steel were better. |

It was fine because it managed the difficult thing: getting the character dynamics right so that everybody could shine (except poor Steppenwolf who was just a placeholder and plot device for Darkseid and the JL formation).
It's a good origin story and, more importantly, it is not too good so that any sequel will pale compared to JL. If there will be a follow up, JL can be improved upon by a sequel with better story, villain and CGI so that you see a positive development curve. |

That it's not the best superhero film? I loved parts of it. Not enough to say it was as good as the worst MCU. ... Let's see... Ok, you can have it's better than the Incredible Hulk. Or maybe the same. It's sort of considered MCU, but the weakest link for me. 1978 Superman 9/10 (Lois was so grating) 1980 Superman II 8/10 (Supes giving up power for grating Lois?) Man of Steel 7/10 1989 Batman 10/10 Batman Returns 9/10 Batman Begins 2/10 Dark knight 6/10 TDKR 3/10 BvS 4/10 SS 4/10 Spiderman 9/10 Spiderman 2 8/10 Spiderman 3 7/10 X-Men 8/10 X-Men 2 7/10 X-Men Last Stand 4/10 (only saw it once) Fantastic Four (2005) 6/10 Silver Surfer 6/10 Hulk 4/10 Incredible Hulk 6/10 Homecoming 10/10 Iron Man 8/10 Iron Man 2 7/10 Iron Man 3 7/10 Thor 10/10 Dark World 10/10 Ragnarok 9/10 First Avenger 9/10 Winter Soldier 9/10 Civil War 8/10 Avengers 10/10 Ultron 10/10 GotG 9/10 GotG2 8/10 DS 10/10 I gave JL a 6. |

If there will be a follow up, JL can be improved upon by a sequel with better story, villain and CGI so that you see a positive development curve. -SPOILERS- I liked Steppenwolf myself. Not the most developed character but as developed as was required. The point was that his scenes were good imo. If I had a dollar for every story about a villain who fought against earthlings in pre-historic times to return I’d have, well, about 25 bucks. From TMNT (2007), to Transformers to X-Men Apocalypse... But those scenes were actually interesting in JL. Atlanteans, Themescyrans, humans and Gods(!) fighting against him, IDK, it was cool. The genericness of the motherboxes, terraforming etc didn’t faze me as I liked the way he was presented. His demise was offbeat as well (as well as the fact that he wasn’t the most powerful being in the mix 😉. I don’t get the hate for Steppenwolf. |

I think it was as good as Wonder Woman and better than the other DCEU movies. I actually enjoy all of them but the others do have some problems.
Overall, the MCU is significantly better.

It's okay, but WW is the best DCEU offering to date.

Dr Strange got a 10 because it lived up to my image of the comics If they ever do Ka-zar it could be a 10 if they bring the comic to life. |

In fairness, that's really not a very high bar to clear. |

That it's not the best superhero film?

Isn't that sad for any movie that's not the best superhero film, Marvel movies included?
By the way, I agree with OP.
