This movie serves as the direct sequel & follow up of batman vs superman. The storyline basically deals with the history & awakening of supervillain darkseid's three mother boxes, kept in three different worlds - the humans, the atlanteans & the amazons.
Now the plot in nutshell goes somewhat like this. Bruce Wayne with his high ESP perceived some forthcoming danger. He tries befriending with aquaman to commence the justice league, but in vain. On the other hand, wonder woman after receiving the signal of imminent danger from the amazons, becomes partner with bruce. Slowly, they are also accompanied by the flash, cyborg & finally aquaman. All of them try to resurrect superman with the help of the third motherbox (the other two being already captured by darkseid's general steppenwolf). But unfortunately, lazarus superman with all forgotten past memories, tries to kill them. Though with the appearance of lois lane as the saviour of justice league, the famous five had a narrow escape. Meanwhile, steppenwolf attacks starlabs to get hold of the third box. But, cyborg's father Dr silas stone burnt himself alive along with the mother box, to mark the latter. Now, cyborg with his inbuilt electronic communication locates the abandoned city of pozharnov, where steppenwolf had established his kingdom. Thereafter follows a huge battle with a human & metahumans on one side and a militia of aliens on the other. At the last moment, with the arrival of Superman (who now luckily had come to his senses), the team of justice league were able to become victorious. In the epilogue, Bruce had a bit complicated horrifying nightmare of combating against superman.
Now about the pros and cons of the movie - the cgi effect was magnificent, the plot location was mind-blowing, but the acting was a bit poor. I don't know whether the actors were paid more to act horribly in this movie. I like Ben affleck a lot, but still apologising for never accepting him as batman. Gal gaddot's action sequences are good... But her acting is really painful. Maybe the character of wonder woman bears that kind of stiffness. Ezra Miller (The flash) was able to create certain comical situations, which really gave life to this stale movie. Ray Fisher's (Cyborg) portrayal was brilliant. The expression of deep pain in his eyes due to unspoken sorrow, are the gifts of this movie. But, the star of this movie is undoubtedly aquaman Jason momoa. His prolific battling scenes & incidental quipping really stole the show. Henry cavill (superman) & Amy adams (lois lane) share a very little screen presence. But still they are able to leave an everlasting impression. Ray Porter & Ciaran Hinds voice overs to respectively darkseid & steppenwolf were also enjoyable.
Postscript - this movie had a great potential but execution was a bit poor.
