Minor Spoilers Ahead
It's not really a spoiler since you know it's (he's) coming.
Justice League directed by both Zack Synder and Joss Whedon is about a group of superheroes that come together to fight an alien henchman for Darkseid.
Highest paid actor, Ben Affleck, feels like he's just going through the motions of doing this film. He doesn't really have any good stunts and keeps his body suit on for all of the action scenes which makes me wonder if he actually trained for the film like he did Batman v. Superman.
Henry Cavill had a pretty bad rendering done on his mustache to remove it from the film and thus hinders his ability to act. It's not his fault he was contractually obligated to keep the stache.
Gal Gadot doesn't have the same sort of direction she did with Patty Jenkins, and it is more noticeable to trained eyes. The average movie-going audience won't notice though. She's a highlight of the film.
Ezra Miller should have gotten a stand-alone movie to flesh out his character. There was so much potential there in a rushed film to "catch up" to marvel. Marvel put in the groundwork for their lesser-favorite characters. Heck Thor got a mediocre movie out before avenger. He's easily the best actor in the film.
Jason Momoa, eye candy and pretty much nothing more.
Ray Fisher tried, he really did. Oh, he plays Cyborg since no one knows who this actor is. You might be saying "wasn't he that guy in..." and the answer is no.
By the way, the trivia you probably don't know is, Game of Thrones has more than one actor that's in this film. Jason Momoa is the obvious choice, but the bad guy, Steppenwolf, is voice acted by Ciaran Hinds. You're probably thinking, "Who is that?" well he played Mance Rayder, The King Beyond the Wall.
Was the film entertaining, yes, did it have flaws that critics will notice, yes. Was there trivial scenes about a family in an abandoned city that was there for whatever reason, yes. Oh and no cliffhanger. It's not a spoiler. There's just nowhere to go next. I mean they could do Darkseid but at this point, it really seems like didn't we do this already?
Result: B (It's good, but you'd be better off waiting till it's on streaming services)
