Wonder Woman, Superman, The Flash, and Cyborg were all pretty great.
Aquaman sucked.
Steppenwolf was essentially a non-entity, but a better non-entity than most superhero movies can manage.
Batman was the absolute fucking worst thing in the world.
I'm sorry! But I agree that Batman was just the worst part of the movie

It was so undynamic and out of character

Isn't Batman supposed to be stealthy
I also don't know why they dedicated so much screen time to a sequence in which Affleck moves so little, in the middle of this huge action set piece
I guess Flash and Wonder Woman were handled well, and Cyborg was a lot better than I was expecting. Batman a bit too jokey, and Superman... I guess none of the characters really had anything to do? Which hurts what you can say about them. Aquaman was a good presence (and I'm still very much looking forward to the Aquaman movie) but his scene with Mera was one of the few things that was bad.
Also poor was the way they re-introduce Superman. It's just extremely ham-fisted and terribly devoid of drama. The movie seems to think we'll be engrossed by the question of if Flash will be able to run fast and touch the thing when... was it ever in doubt? Is there going to be a single person who'll watch this and not assume it a foregone conclusion? And Flash joking about how weird and creepy the whole plan is doesn't make it not weird and creepy.
A whole bunch of "it's fine" in service of an uninteresting story. A shame too, because if you gave all these people something to actually do I think they could step up.
Aquaman and Flash were fun while also nothing like their comics selves.
Wonder Woman was disappointingly uninteresting. Batman was actively boring and by far the worst part of the movie that isn't named Steppenwolf.
Superman was really good but isn't in it much.
Looked garish as hell, had some real bad pacing and most of the jokes were C+ at best but the action was fun and I didn't absolutely hate it.
Oh, Cyborg was surprisingly good. Like his CG was terrible but Ray Fisher put in a good performance and the character was probably the most fully formed of the team.
(I haven't seen the movie)
*Like, the way Cyborg's dad had a different name for one, in a way that I'd expect to be carried throughout the movie. But once a character hears them called a Motherbox they just revert to that being the right thing to say.
Like his dialogue was roughly 90% jokes and quips
Like I get they're going for him not being experienced and a goober but holy crap he might as well have been doing the Naruto run
The actual super speed effects looked good though
Close second was Wonder Woman blocking all those bullets. I didn't think she can normally do something like that, but eh.
This was me with Aquaman
Edit: I also think Jason Momoa is a bad actor, which may factor into this
Question:
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
My wife made this exact same comparison immediately after they showed it.

I'm not sure what to think. I've never had a movie with that ratio before

depends

I also didn't roll my eyes once, which the same can't be said of Batman vs Superman.
So overall, I'm calling it a win.
As mentioned earlier, Superman is actually Superman, (he even uses freeze breath what the hell??) that block of a whole AR magazine by Wonder Woman was fantastic and Flash is pretty decent.
Big plus points for not just killing all the Amazons
Bad points for Batman still being Gunman.
Aquaman had a decent intro I think, will be checking out his solo outing for sure as I think there's a solid foundation to go somewhere.
As for the credits scenes
Deathstroke eh? Bar has been set quite well by Arrowverse so that's going to be tough
Credits scene
(In the Simone run on Wonder Woman, when the Olympians had left Diana turned to Kāne for help. But I don't know if the rest of the Hawaiian pantheon has been used before and that character had a pretty distinct look.)
Has anybody heard the soundtrack yet? Was interested in it since I heard Junkie XL would be involved, I loved his Fury Road work
Steam
i mean we all have that weakness
during the movie I was pretty underwhelmed, it was very "Danny elfman being Danny elfman"
I don't know the actual division of labor/credit but i wouldn't be surprised if the entirety of junkie's stuff was like, the inclusion of the Wonder Woman theme, etc
Just looking at the Spotify tracks, Junkie XL is only credited on that cover of Come Together that was used in the trailers
Did he like, co-compose the Wonder Woman theme? I thought it was a Hans Zimmer jam
