Saw it yesterday; a guy in the row behind me fell asleep for a bit.

It was entertaining, but some of the characters were too broad, even by comic book standards. The kid, the Comic Relief uncle, some others.

As a comics fan, I'm not for making Viola Davis' character the Nick Fury of the DCEU. Nor does some of the backstory stand up: both Dr. Fate and Hawkman have ancient Egyptian origin stories, so them letting Intergang plunder Kandaq for 27 years, only to show up within 24 hours when a local liberator emerges - that was sloppy. And I'm curious what they'll do with Sarah Shahi - in the comics, she becomes Isis, the character from the 1970s show with JoAnna Cameron.
