I liked this much, much more than the Whedon version. To me it felt more like what an epic Justice League movie should have been. Instead of the "Squadron Supreme" that Whedon made them into. The one good scene that Whedon's version had that I liked was the "Save one person. Then you'll know."

Bruce not being a suicidal wreck, Barry showing just how powerful he actually can be and that this is a guy starting out who isn't used to fighting through pain yet, the whole "So you talk to fish?" bullshit not being uttered (come on, Joss really?), Arthur's kind of the same but his solo movie worked on his issues, Diana was about the same, they actually explained what Victor could do (helping those who had no idea who he was), Clark's returned was handled better in my opinion and his suiting up scene with the voiceovers was very well done and they improved Steppenwolf and had a decent set-up for Darkseid's return. The second Martian Manhunter scene was the better one. The first raises too many questions.

What surprised me was the amount of humor that was in this version. Yes, primarily because of the Flash but other things as well. Especially the scene were the League fights Clark (not really a spoiler) and the Flash running noticing Supes eyeballing and freaking out about it will always be the funniest thing to me.

What I wonder is what would have been edited out to get to it to a more reasonable, for theatres, runtime.
