A Good movie with flaws

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2017)

So, let me start off saying that I do like all of the DCEU movies in their own way. I don't really care what critics have to say, I just make my own view. As I have written in other reviews, my favorite of the DCEU is Man of Steel, but I appreciate all of them.
Also, in regards to Marvel, I also like some of those movies. I didn't like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or Spiderman Homecoming, I really thought Justice League was better, but Thor: Ragnarok takes the spot for the best comic book movie of the year. Don't let it deter you from seeing this one though, as Justice League is still good!
For this movie I will give the good and the bad:
The Good:
1. The Characters. Wonder Woman and Batman are great, as usual. The Flash is funny and Aquaman is awesome. Can't wait for his movie. Cyborg is interesting. A character who will not be named is great as well. They all work really well together and really make this movie special.
2. Comic book moments. There are a lot of good comic book moments to like here. The references are good. I think an improvement that they made was the actual comic book type stuff as this wasn't as apparent in Batman V. Superman
3. The ships. I ship Diana and Bruce together. They obviously dropped a lot of hints that I really dug. Can't wait until the ship has finally sailed. I ship Lois and Clarke obviously. A bit disappointing, but I liked what I got.
4. The continuity. I liked that this movie connected to Batman V. Superman. In a lot of ways, this is the third movie in a trilogy. While you will feel like you are missing some things, there is some continuation here.
The Bad:
1. The plot. There is really not much to see here.
2. The villain. Very weak villain. No high stakes. It also felt like he was delivering his lines to a green screen instead of to the Justice League.
3. The CGI. Probably the worst of the negatives. Everything was CGI'd. The worst would probably be SteppenWolf. Why did he look like that?
4. Bad editing. Man, this movie was all over the place. There was one scene that really irked me. Wonder Woman was wearing her costume and she walks in the next shot with something else on. When did that happen? lol.
5. Many scenes in the trailers not in the movie. I am sure we will get an extended cut, which I am eagerly awaiting. It felt like a good 30 minutes was probably cut and I'm sad that we didn't see it. Can't wait for the Blu-ray.
6. The music. What I liked about the other DCEU movies was the soundtrack. This movie didn't really have anything memorable with sound except the song in the credits. I missed that about BvS and Man of Steel. DC, please fix for other movies!
Overall, if you are a fan of comics or the other movies, go see it. It is a fun time, which is what people expect from something like this. One thing, before I am done, is that I wanted to comment on the DCEU, in general. Yes, they have received poor critical reception, with Wonder Woman having great reception, and this movie is no different. However, we can't really judge this movie now, because this movie was already done with and shot. The real course correction won't happen until Aquaman. In fact, Justice League was shot before Wonder Woman and spent a long time in post production. There really wasn't much they could do. I will say that there are some changes in here that will show the better movies to come.
Also, this is not the real "Justice League" movie. Everyone knows that. The real one will come when Justice League 2 happens. I do believe that DC knows how to fix their issues (CGI may take some time) but I am hopeful. This movie does show that there is a bright future. Go see it.
My DCEU ranking:
Man of Steel Wonder Woman Batman V. Superman/ Justice League (tied with BVS) Suicide Squad
