Right off the top, this movie doubles down on putting the New52 continuity movies to rest. If you liked the New52 stuff from the last few years (Flashpoint Paradox onward until last year) you'll probably hate this. This movie gets away from the New52 continuity most fans rejected in the comics and returns to an iconic continuity that has a more hopeful and developed tone rather than the New52 movies.
For anyone who hated the New52 movies, get comfortable. No more juvenile science experiment Justice League from the Darkseid War movie, this is light hearted but still mature in tone. I've seen a few complaints about weird silence in dialogues; this movie actually shows those moments of awkward silence that happen in real life but the person complaining about it didn't get it.
I love the art style based on Otto Schmidt's art. It's another departure from the Phil Bourassa art style the New52 movies used. It's a much more open and inviting art style while the Bourassa style is associated with more of the grim/dark wannabe edgy style from the New52 movies and originally from the Young Justice show before that.
Performances were really nice. My heart will always prefer the JLU cast that came with Andrea Romano and Bruce Timm but these were a good fresh take. People will probably always have their favourites though. I think the only performance I really didn't like was Brainiac but his part was small anyhow so.

The story had a few problems but overall it was good. Who doesn't enjoy beating up and hating on Nazis? There's a couple plot points that go unanswered like Dr Fate's connection to Barry's trip. But these will inevitably be answered in upcoming movies in this new rebooted continuity. As a Wonder Woman fan I really enjoyed her taking center stage but if I'm a Justice Society fan I might have prefered a story that distributed the screen time across the team more evenly -- I can see that frustrating some fans.
