Enjoyable. Not Great, Not terrible

Spoiler Alert!!
As a kid, I grew up reading Justice League of America comics, so I've been looking forward to this flick. On the whole, it was enjoyable. It wasn't nearly as dark or serious as The Dark Knight movies or Batman Vs. Superman. And there were no surprises. The story was so predictable that my 8 year old said he knew everything that would happen. There wasn't much (or really any) character development either. We did get some backstory on Cyborg, but almost nothing on The Flash (though we all know his story from comics or the TV show) or Aquaman, who remained an enigma - part angry surfer-type dude and part something entirely unexplored.
But for all that, it was a still an enjoyable film. The story moved quickly, the characters, while shallow, were likable and the fight scenes weren't excessive. Besides, it's a comic book on film; not Remains of the Day. I don't know why the critics were so harsh. It was on par with the Avengers last movie and the various X-Men flicks and has pretty much the same story as those (evil guy appears out of nowhere, tries to seize/destroy the world and is stopped by the heroes who variously bicker and bond in the process).
If you grew up reading DC comics or just like super hero movies, ignore the critics and go see it.
