I haven't seen it. Any initial thoughts?

Watched the first half of it last night and I think it's pretty good. The whole aspect ratio is a bit off putting though. The black bars are on the left and right of the screen due to Zack like the IMAX format which is crazy because it's not being shown in theaters.

This was SO MUCH BETTER than I expected. First, I hated Dawn of Justice, and thought very little of the Justice League released in 2017, so I wasn't expecting much at all. This was really long, but everything it attempted to do came out so much better than the Justice League 2017 that I was happy to watch it. The epilogue has some stuff in it I didn't really think I needed.
But the backstories and buildup to the battles with Steppenwolf was tremendously better. Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg were all much better characters and better parts of the film this way...

I just finished it and agree it was much better than the Whedon blah.

I thought it was better in every way! Visually, storytelling, etc.
After watching it I want to know who at WB decided to go with the forgettable Whedon version instead of this version? Seriously, how could you watch the choppy Whedon version and the Snyder version and say, "Yep, let's go with this crap." (shaking my head)

It seems to me that Snyder's vision was for a 3 movie run like LOTR (and the whole thing is like Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies series, anyway, lol) and someone threw that idea to the side, probably because Dawn of Justice "sucked so bad" it did not bode well. Because this was 4 hours long, and needed most of it for what he was doing.
The Justice League (2017) was like action scenes from this pasted together in a montage, and then there was that little crap scene with Flash and the Russian family in the pickup truck, to make up for the fact that they dropped the whole second use of the giant static discharge as a plot element.
And, "Batman is nutzo." is a much stronger theme in this.
