Pros:
- A coherent, simple story.
- J.K. Simmons & Jeremy Irons.
- Cyborg (this one positively surprised me, Ray Fisher is a good actor) & Aquaman (though I wanted a lot more from him). Moreover, they both got just enough character development.
- The scene between Mera and Aquaman. Yes, it's clearly irrelevant in the context of this film, but I think it was a clever way to develop his character.
- The character moments between the league (especially between Diana & Bruce).

In-between:
- The pacing. The beginning in particular is very rushed, but by making it a fast film, it also becomes more rewatchable.
- Steppenwolf. He is generic and bland, but he's not 'actively terrible', like the villains in the Wonder Woman film.
- The tone. It's a little inconsistent between scenes, but nothing too jarring (unlike Thor Ragnarok).
- Gal Gadot's acting. Once again, some of her delivery is fine, and some of it is terrible (the writing didn't help her either).

Cons:
- The dialogue is simply not very good, and most of the jokes don't land.
- A lack of internal logic (both in this movie and between earlier DCEU movies).
- The action straight up sucks. Each of those sequence, and there's a lot of them, boils down to visual noise due to poor CGI, bad camerawork and/or choppy editing.
- Hideously artificial looking, unless it's just two characters talking in an actual environment (e.g. Bruce & Diana at the lake).
- Terrible CGI. I normally don't bitch about this, because people tend to overreact to it, but this is really atrocious. Notable standouts are the underwater sequences (these are also underlit), Steppenwolf's face, the final fight, and Henry Cavill's face.
- Inconsistent characterization for both Batman and Superman between movies, and we're not given a narrative reason for this development (particularly Superman).
- Cyborg, on the other hand, is a little inconsistent between scenes (he goes from being very stoic in the beginning of the film to a quip machine at the end of the film).
- Flash gets really, really fucking annoying, and his character is also underdeveloped.
- Wonder Woman and the Amazonians got the Sucker Punch treatment. I hated how they got objectified, especially after the progress from the WW film.
- Some reshoots are noticeable.
