I would go so far as to say I liked it better than Marvel's Avengers 1.

No way. It’s definitely a step in the right direction though. You can see the influence Whedon had on this movie. Miller as the Flash was great, and I still really love Afflecks take on Batman. Gadot has really come into the role as Wonder Woman. Also Elfmans score was really good and I enjoyed the throwback themes for Batman and Superman. Aquaman was solid.

What I didn’t like.
- there was absolutely no weight placed on Superman’s death and resurrection. None.
- Steppenwolf was a lame villain and shouldn’t have been. The CG wasn’t good. At all.
- Cyborg was basically used as a Deus Ex Machina for the story.
- There really wasn’t any weight placed on the story. I never felt like there was any chance they were going to lose. That’s what made the first Avengers movie so good and Ultron so disappointing. This is the ultimate superhero team up. The all star game. And really once Superman shows up he fixes everything and then Steppenwolf is killed by his own minions. End story.

So I enjoyed it though, much more than BvS. I’m very much looking forward to the Flash standalone and really hope Affleck sticks it out for the Batman movie. Batman will probably always be my favorite comic book character and I’m enjoying the more experienced grizzled version.

Superman's "death" was never supposed to be weighing heavily on the audience. It was the effect on the other characters that carried weight with the audience. (And Superman's absence was the centerpiece of the first half of JL.)

Even if Snyder hadn't shown the dirt rising from the coffin in MoS, the audience would've known that Superman would never stay dead.
