OK, this was the most fun I've had at the movies since Guardians of the Galaxy, and Force Awakens. Finally, DC is getting in the game. Wonder Woman was the first time they really got it right. Batman vs. Superman....a little bit of a misstep, but still decent. This one though....I really liked.
Possible spoiler alerts below.
First off, I'm a dude, and Gal Gadot is just...stunningly beautiful just doesn't seem to do it justice. She's almost TOO beautiful, distractingly so. Especially as that character (normally, she's just gorgeous vs. smoking hot). But, there are some actual great character moments for her in this...she's almost like the mommy of the group, keeping them on task.
Jason Momoa, definitely a different take on Aquaman than we've seen in other media, but kind of neat. Surfer bad boy type, but mysterious. There's a scene most may miss where it looks like he palms one of Batman's batarangs...so I'll have to see that again, and see if I saw what I think I saw. Little stuff like that was cool to see. The "talk to fish" references are funny too.
There will be skybeams galore, this is a modern action movie after all. What is this obsession with skybeams?
SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT.
Yes, they bring back Superman, but not for most of the flick. There's a scene where the Flash is moving at superspeed, and all others are frozen, but then Superman turns his head to follow Flash, and the look of surprise on the Flash's face is absolutely priceless! My favorite moment of the whole movie (other than a flash of Gal Gadot's butcheek in one scene)...
. Luckily, he's used sparingly, as he's a pretty overpowered character in the first place. Oddly enough, there seems to be an excuse to show every one of his powers (strength, speed, super senses, invulnerability, flying, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, etc.)
Flash's fanboy attitude is a refreshing addition to the DC movies. Basically like Spiderman in the Marvel ones, his hero worship of the others is great. Cyborg is mostly just window dressing, but the little scene where he hacks the batcave cams, is a nice little nod to how he comes to understand his part in it all.
Be sure to stay for all of the credit scenes. There's one where Superman and the Flash have a race, and one where we see Lex Luthor, (and possibly the beginnings of the Legion of Doom?) where he suggests a group of their own. I think the character he speaks to is Deadshot or something (some character most of us just don't know, unless comic book geeks)....not my type of geekdom normally.
