The reviews I've seen mostly add up to: "With the very low bar, I guess Justice League is marginally better, more serviceable" or "flawed but fun"
Yay (sarcasm)
It's sad how little we settle for with these comic films.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
All the reviews ive read say everyone except Cyborg is pretty fun and amazing which is fine by me. Because if they get the characters right they work in a better story and villians in future movies. Im just worried because Snyder said Cyborg was the heart of the film and ppl dont seem to have liked him all that much. Atleast not like the other 2 new charatcers who seem to be ppls favorite parts. I already knew i was gonna like Aquamn probaly, but im happily surprised that ppl are loving Ezras flash.
I feel that is likely the case. We've seen numerous clips of them fighting those parademons (name?) on planet cgi, which I would assume is the "pre-battle" to the climactic battle. Since this is already towards the end, and assuming they didn't cgi supes out for promos, my guess is that he aids with steppenwolf at the very end.
I just got home from a preview screening. It's good. Is it perfect? No. The ending is a little rushed. (I think the under two hour mandate rumors may be true.) The re-shoots are fairly obvious. Steppenwolf could have been more developed and Darkseid is only mentioned once. But the League's formation seems organic and they work well together. There are lots of cool winks and nods to previous films. (Marc McClure of all people has a cameo.) Joss Whedon's "voice" can definitely be heard throughout. There's a mid-credits scene that if it isn't Whedon, then they let Geoff Johns write one scene. The end credits scene had people doing a kind of gasp/cheer.
It's a good movie. The best DC has done in their shared universe. Hopefully they'll continue with this tone. There's humor, but also serious drama and some cool action.

Hope is not lost today. It is found.
Okay, I figured it out.
Mid-credits scene: spoilers:end of spoilers If that isn't Joss Whedon fanboying then it was Geoff Johns. I don't see Zack Snyder putting something that fun into the movie without Warner Bros. holding a gun to his head.
Superman and the Flash are talking in costume at what appears to be the Kent farm. Flash wants to see who's faster. Superman jokes that if he wins, Flash is off the team. (Flash is really nervous in the entire movie.) Flash says if he wins, he gets to tell people that he won. Superman agrees and they decide to race to the Pacific Ocean.
End credits scene: spoilers:end of spoilers I love this idea. It's where I thought the DC Cinematic Universe should have gone in the first place.
It's a prison calling lights out. One inmate doesn't turn his light out. "Lights out, Luthor," the guard says. People gasp because everyone forgot there were rumors Jesse Eisenberg filmed stuff for the movie. Only it isn't Lex Luthor. He's escaped. Cut to a mega-yacht with a smaller pilot boat coming up it. A figure gets off the pilot boat, covered in shadows. You can just make out two swords in scabbards on his back. Dramatic reveal as he climbs the stairs: It's Deathstroke, the Terminator. Lex says God is back and so is he. Since Superman is forming a league, Lex tells Deathstroke that they should form a league of their own. People gasp and cheer. They're teasing the Injustice League.
Hope is not lost today. It is found.
And more bad press. Folks are attacking this on other sites right now.
