I saw it tonight and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. One of my friends texted me after he had seen it saying that they finally got Superman right... and I heard endorsements from a few of you here (Scott, thanks for the PM!), so I figured I'd see it and I'm really glad I did. Superman finally got his due. Justice League had what MoS and BvS did not have... optimism and heart. Even if the heart may have been a last-minute transplant, I still appreciated it.
There are always things to criticize. Steppenwolf... meh. Re: the final credits: if I never see Lex Luthor in a big-screen Superman movie again, it will be too soon, especially with Jesse Eisenberg in the role. On the whole, however, Justice League was well worth seeing.
Also, the theater was pretty full. Granted, it was a matinee with cheaper seats, but it would not surprise me if the dropoff for the second week was not as dramatic as usual because I think word of mouth is going to get out and keep it from cratering. (That and it's a holiday weekend this week.)
