Tldr: it's great, go see it. Just shy of amazing, if not for one major issue that doesn't let it go the final mile. But don't let that get in the way of all the fun and enjoyment that this movie delivers in spades.

The Ugly:
All in all it's a great movie, I'm seeing it again for sure and so should all of you. The dceu finally has the crowd pleaser that it deserves.(side note, I liked mos, loathed bvs, and was meh for ss, also I love (generally speaking) the MCU and the arrowverse and have a difficult relation with fox and Sony, but above all else I love comics, DC and marvel alike, just so we are clear ok?)

The good:
So it has so many good things that I'll keep this simple:
the visuals are terrific, the island makes you want to live there just for it's beauty. The contrast with WW1 torn Europe is very well depicted, it's another world. The fights are unbelievable. Just a joy to behold, I'll be revisiting a lot of them in the future, some of the best ever, simply beautifully done. The chemistry between the leads works very well, wich I didn't think it would. And the humor (ah, didn't thought I would say this in the dceu but I'm glad I am) is great. I laughed, people laughed, it didn't ruin moments, just accentuated them. Best part for me was that this was a DC movie and it felt like a DC movie not for one second I thought they were even remotely copying marvel, not with the jokes, not with the visuals not nothing. It felt fresh like I was way back seeing superman the movie or Batman (89 and begins) or X-Men 1 or Spidey 1 or (oh,oh) iron Man 1, not because it felt the same as any of those but because it felt like the beginning of something unique and new. They are finally doing their thing and not being afraid to have fun with it. And that is what I was hoping since the beginning of the dceu.
A simply fun movie with the unique style of the dceu. So great to see it happen. We always had the style but now we have the heart. And what a heart:) I'm so glad they this before jl, I'm looking forward to that just to see ww in action again.

The bad:
everything here is minor okay? Keep that in mind. I know I said the visuals are great, and they are but one of two scenes looked like they had less than stellar cgi,
nothing major but I noticed them not because they were awful or anything but because everything else looks so good.
The villains are weak. There I said it. They are extremely forgetful and quite frankly not very menacing. One scene I even rolled my eyes at the cartoonish thing they were saying and doing. After killing a bunch of people they make a lame joke and cackle a la mutley, lol. They do their job nothing more. Finally the supporting cast is way underused especially one Charlie, a sniper with PTSD that doesn't get a satisfying hero moment.

The Ugly:
the final battle.
It's bad, oh it's so, so bad... What a shame, it felt like our team going to the finals and losing it in overtime. It brings the movie down a couple of notches, if it was in the beginning all the greatness would just make you forget but alas it's what you leave the theater with. It's what didn't let this be above all rest. It's that bad. I could overlook a quick ending a "it ended too quickly I wanted more" this isn't it, it's a poor man magneto babling with no end in sight. This is the freaking good of war, and this is what they come up? ... Damn.
