I went into the movie expecting a 6-7/10 superhero movie with some entertainment value and that's exactly what I got! Despite the negative reactions from critics, I would say I disagree but understand where some might be coming from. Dwayne Johnson wasn't nearly half as bad as people expect him to be, he's clearly having a blast, throwing out badass one liners and displaying an astronomical level of destruction. The JSA are handled well overall, despite a lack of backstory for the team members. Kent Nelson/Dr. Fate had to be one of the coolest characters in the DCEU. The human characters are serviceable, and while they're the least interesting part of the film, they work as walking talking vessels to further the narrative and connect with viewers. The villain is major letdown and is incredibly generic. The writing in whole is a bit hit-and-miss. However, the action sequences were fantastic and the visuals, dazzling. Overall, this feature might be a let down by its uninspired script and its predictable and overly familiar feeling plot points, thin characters but there's more than enough to make up for them with the grand scale action setpieces, good performances, some cool characters and entertainment value. It's fun and enjoyable sometimes that's what matters..
