First of all: I didn't expect much after Man of Steel! Second: English is not my native language so please forgive my bad grammar and possible missuse of words or phrases...
That being said, i think it is a bit weird storywise. There were many hard cuts between the scenes (concerning the story) and it was not clear why things happened when it was shown. In the end i couldn't shake the feeling, that the makers made it up as they went along - just so they could use all the special effects that they already paid for. Besides that part they seem to be really determined to build a cinematic universe very fast - perhaps a bit too fast. Why am i thinking this? Because they more or less put 4 origin stories into one film. 1st Batman's Origin 2nd Wonderwomans Origin 3rd The League of Justice 4th Lex Luthor's Origin If you thought about it and did a bit of research about DC Comics before watching like i did you could expect this - For someone who doesn't have a clue about the original DC Comics (like most people in germany) i think it was not.
So if i think about the time they had for the movie and what they had to tell in it i think they did a solid job. But to be fair: I think without wonderwoman and a less dangerous monster it could have been a better film - they would just have had more time to build a real story - not just fragments of it which the viewer has to piece together himself.
That should be it for the story without spoilering it^^
To the Special Effects: They seemed to be pretty expensive and they are a lot of fun to watch as long as you don't look too careful. For Example: The Objects they used to calculate the breaking of glass seemed to be big quarders instead of small pieces (Superman crashing into a skyscraper must have been at least four times the size than he was in the picture to create a glass breaking as it was shown). In another scene you can't see the skyscrapersthe camera is pointing up and it is in the middle of (Metropolis or Gotham - i am not sure...).
My resume: If you are a DC-, Batman-, or Superman-Fan you have to see it. For everyone else: It is a good Action movie with modern Effects, but don't expect it to be the best film you have ever seen.
