So, I've watched Justice League almost immediately after Thor Ragnarok, I think they were just a couple of weeks apart. I prefer DC to Marvel, but mostly I'm a huge comics fan.
Thor is currently 8.0 on imdb, JL is 6.8. This is absurd, Thor is a far lesser movie than JL. Guardians of the galaxy 2 was also a lot worse. It seems Marvel managed to reach a point were anything they do is good, and DC (because of the Dark Knight series, maybe?) can't do anything wright. I reckon after BvS, I had higher expectations to a JL movie. The 8 reflects a bit that disappointment, has a DC fan I wanted a 10. The run time of just 120 min really threw me off. So, after watching, It actually seemed a good DC movie (even with the director's problems), and well paced. It's not has good has BvS, but it's not bad, at all. I reckon each character could have had a standalone movie first (including Batman - and also, the entire decision of going with a older Batman was also a disappointment to me, might have made sense to a BvS story line, but on JL not really), but this small, easy in the eye, JL, might have been a good contribution to just that, and to a larger, bigger assembly movie in the future.
If you have no affinity to DC, you probably didn't like BvS, and you'll probably not like JL. Thor is just a comedy (and a quick way to kill off unwanted characters for infinity war), so probably anyone will like it (specially on drugs).
But is not DC's fault there are almost no good blockbuster movies anymore for you to see.

Just saw the premiere, here in Portugal, and after reading all the terrible reviews, I was ready for the worse case scenario. Fortunatly, it wasn't THAT bad, I actually enjoyed the movie, but one cannot stop wondering why the hell they trashed a lot more of the original tale then necessary. The CGI is great, the cast is actually quite decent, and it really looks like the team that brought us this, wanted the movie do be bad. The "catch phrases" are as awful and basic as any B-movie, and the interaction between characters should have been worked a lot better. But it's fair to say that who hasn't read the book, will overlook some of the flaws.
I'm giving it a 6. A 7 may also be adequate, but... I've read the book.
