I thought it was OK...not great, not even really good. It just didn't gel for me. Not once did I have that total geek out moment like I did in the first Avengers movie...and I feel like I should have. I thought Steppenwolf was a terrible villain...he lacked the charisma that Loki brought to the Avengers. He just never felt like a threat, and I wasn't even clear on his motivation. The three cubes or boxes? I can't even remember...so what's that tell you? They seemed like a ripoff of the Cosmic Cube. It was like someone said, Hey! Avengers only had ONE cube, so we'll have THREE!
There were a few funny bits and good action sequences but overall the film just didn't hold my attention. At no point did I really care what was happening. By the time Superman appeared I actually found myself thinking...oh good, it shouldn't be much longer til it's over, and I truly can't believe I felt that way. I really think they put the cart before the horse. I wish they'd done origin films first for all the new characters. When I first saw Avengers it was a great culmination...it was a huge payoff. The characters felt like old friends...here they felt like strangers. The more I think about it, the more I really want to see a Super Friends movie, and this just wasn't it.
