Ill be watching it shortly, as long as it "entertains" im a satisfied customer
The thing that bugs me about all of this is that I want DC to be awesome. Not going to draw comparisons to Marvel. I want DC to be awesome in their own way. Because of th enature of how the DC Universe came to be versus Marvel, the same approach wouldn't work. A bunch of heroes in their own isolated universes that never crossed over until the '60s when they saw what Marvel had done, a bunch of overpowered archetypal paragons... Well, that many nigh-invulnerable, super-strong, demigods either drastically overpower any potential criminals or require equally powerful baddies.
When "everyman" heroes like Green Arrow or even Batman get added to the mix, there's a big power disparity. Either the baddie will be so powerful the mere mortals can't touch them and they're relegated to the bench while the Big Boys handle things, or they can handle the villain and something needs to take the powerhouses out of play to keep the story from being over in five minutes.
They needed to have let their cinematic universe evolve organically, introducing and building up the characters and focusing on their Humanity over their powers (that second part they sorta did, albeit a bit heavy-handedly), they needed to have had their television universe exist within the same continuity to avoid confusion... And now they've taken the exact wrong lesson from the criticism they've received. None of the DC movies going forward will take place in the same continuity as these films. The new Batman film will be a standalone, the new Joker, the new Flash... It's just going to confuse audiences more. *sigh*

Frankly, I blame WB for not having the balls to stick with the original plan. IMO there was nothing wrong with Man of Steel or BvS. The third act of MOS had excessive CGI fighting but other than that, it was a great reintroduction, and far better than Bryan Singer's 70s outdated homage of Superman Returns.
The BvS extended cut is a great film. Sure it could be cut down a little, but it was a different look at Batman than in previous incarnations.
What happened is we get the sheep audiences who follow what the critics say or follow Rotten Tomatoes and can't think for themselves or enjoy a different take on the source material. I mean, i don't rely on someone elses opinion of a movie to dictate whether i see it or not. I will see a movie because i am interested to see it myself, I don't need to listen to some talentless hack tell me what i should or shouldn't watch.
Due to the whingers complaining that BvS was too dark and too grim, WB lost their panties and thought, we have to make it more funny and emulate the Marvel series (of which I only found a few re watchable, most are just safe and non threatening, and frankly overrated).
Instead of continuing with Snyder's plan for the Justice League, they allowed Whedon to toss out the original music composer, cut out several scenes which are in the trailers, and introduced more humour and cheap thrills to try to please the whingers.
And still the whingers are complaining about everything. IMO, they should let the director do what he feels is neccessary with this vision, not intefere with it and meddle with it.
.
Please, please, please give us a movie with that these characters deserve. Saying that Justice League is "not that bad," isn't good enough. How does Marvel do it time and time again while DC just continually just misses?
A big complaint with this movie is the villain and sure he's pretty generic, but no more generic than [insert Marval villain here].
No way. I'm so sick of hearing this crap argument. Marvel movies have some amazing villains that have depth and character development.
Loki
Hela
Red Skull
Ultron
The Winter Soldier
Thanos
Ronan
Obadiah Stain
Ego
Magneto
Just to rattle off a few.
Hell even Francis from Deadpool is a million times more interesting than Steppenwolf.
