To be honest...i won't deny the movie's got pacing and scene linking issues...BUT, the more time we get away from the year of it's release....the more i recognize more and more brilliant moments...i mean....to be honest...why have i watched it too many times, looking for faults and flukes but i end up enjoying it? LOL. The movie's tone is amazing, the actors are amazing, and watching Justice League and Marvel /Disney movies in a row with this one along, makes me value it even more.
