I saw JL in the theater, and haven't watched it again yet. I plan on purchasing the film eventually, yes I did like it enough to want to have it in my collection, unlike Suicide Squad (blech). However I guess I didn't have as many problems as other people did, but I do hear and understand the criticisms. It was fine, serviceable, and I guess that was the problem. If DCU and the MCU had been on even footing, and JL had come out in 2011, it would have been much better received IMHO. Unfortunately it did not. Although I am fairly even in my *liking* of Marvel and DC comics overall, I have to admit at my core, I am more a Justice League fan, than an Avengers fan, because that is what I grew up with. The Justice League's core characters were around decades before the Avengers. It's just sad that such legendary characters cant get the justice they deserve (no pun intended), on the BIG screen. Some of the criticisms I do find odd though, You have to watch other MCU films, to understand what's going on in the current one, so why is JL singled out for this? I think Screen Junkies HT summed it up best. JL is NOT a horrible movie, its an average movie, but when you are dealing with some of the greatest comic book characters of all-time average isn't anywhere near good enough.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
