The social media embargo reaction to Justice League has lifted for critics, who were lucky enough to attend early screenings for the film and we took the time to collect as many reaction from Twitter to make a mass article of them all.
Going by the reactions we’ve collected, the consensus can be summarized that the film is overall fun, has amazing action sequences, the character all worked, though the story is uneven and the villain is underwhelming.
Read all the reactions below:
General reaction social embargo for JUSTICE LEAGUE is up. Initial thoughts: It’s THE comic movie from DC/WB that you wanted! Everyone shines. Barry Allen / The Flash is the real MVP. Comedy. Drama. Action. Surprises. Yeah, go see it!

#JusticeLeague exceeded my expectations! JL was a BLAST! Don’t go in thinking a Nolan lecture, it’s an action popcorn movie (which felt like it should’ve been released during the Summer) and it was dope❗️The dork in me was ecstatic! Killed it! pic.twitter.com/WFUC1ADBGq

I think if you are going to a #JusticeLeague movie to see all your favorite DC heroes rocking their skills & being the badasses you love, then you will get plenty of that. Lots of action. Lots of superheroes being superheroes.

#JusticeLeague is a blast from start to finish. Pure visual comic book fun pic.twitter.com/4d4eYB4p6a

The good: #JusticeLeague is my favorite DCEU movie. It will make you love its heroes and want to see them team-up again. pic.twitter.com/mU2khvwUPD

Every character in #JusticeLeague gets a scene-stealing moment but I think Cyborg is the most intriguing overall and who I want to see the most again.
— Rob Keyes (@rob_keyes) November 10, 2017
My mom really enjoyed #JusticeLeague, especially The Flash’s humor, Aquaman’s everything, and Wonder Woman being just that. She even noted and liked Bruce Wayne’s development from BvS to this.
— Rob Keyes (@rob_keyes) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is going to finally convince some #DCEU fans that fun & humor aren’t bad words.
— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague was good & very fun. It’s going to be popular w/audiences, not only fans but mainstream viewers & families.
— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) November 10, 2017
If you liked previous #DCEU films, you’ll probably like #JusticeLeague. If you didn’t like BvS or SS, you’ll probably like Justice League.
— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague score is great (although I’d have preferred more of Zimmer’s MOS theme in 2 spots). WW theme via orchestra is brilliant.

SO I saw #JusticeLeague -twice. Still under embargo, but: This is a fun superhero flick. Funny but still hero adventure. Reminds me of JL Unlimited ep. Likable interaction amongst recognizable heroes. There is a villain problem (no worse than Marvel’s) – @aaronsagers
— Aaron Sagers (@aaronsagers) November 10, 2017
I should add my main hope when I watch a super-team movie is fun character interactions, and cool sequences with super power displays. I got that. #JusticeLeague
— Aaron Sagers (@aaronsagers) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is a fun, bumpy ride that succeeds in character, but fails in narrative. It’s a mixed bag of execution that’s saved by the actors, who rise above the shortcomings to deliver an engaging, funny and hopeful, yet flawed, entry to the DCEU. @joblocom
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) November 10, 2017
I have seen the film twice and I already bought tickets to see it again. That should tell you all you need to know about whether or not you should see it in theaters. #JusticeLeague @joblocom
— Paul Shirey (@arcticninjapaul) November 10, 2017
Justice League is not a perfect movie. It has story “flaws” and a simple, CGI villain.
BUT, more importantly, it gets the heroes right. Every member of the League is fantastic and it’s tough to choose a favorite.
It’s a ton a fun, start to finish.
— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) November 10, 2017
Justice League feels kind of like a re-launch of the DC world in live-action. You walk away wanting more of every hero, including Justice League 2 and standalone films.
— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) November 10, 2017
I loved Justice League.
— Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) November 10, 2017
I saw #JusticeLeague! Here’s what I thought. There are ton of things I’d change but it comes down to this: I had a blast! I got to see the team together and I had fun watching it. Ezra Miller steals the movie and #WonderWoman was perfect! pic.twitter.com/rgCI9fUuTs
— Jenna Busch (@JennaBusch) November 10, 2017
Justice League is the DC team up you’ve been waiting for. I had so much fun from beginning to end. The expansion of DC mythology will make fans go nuts. Superman though!
— Nate Brail (@NateBrail) November 10, 2017
They did it😊 Justice League is wonderful. Heartfelt, funny, but with high stakes and consequences. They address and fix many peoples issues with BvS, but in ways it helps the story and characters. So many surprises you all have no idea about. #justiceleague
— Mike Kalinowski (@MikeKalinowski) November 10, 2017
Bottom line: JUSTICE LEAGUE is awesome!
ZACK SNYDER’s film is filled with so many moments that had me geeking out and crying nerd tears. When an action scene/hero moment hits, the film is firing on all cylinders.
Still love Affleck’s BATMAN. My fav Batman actor since Keaton. pic.twitter.com/YKZTbVJL7D
— Kevin McCarthy (@KevinMcCarthyTV) November 10, 2017
I am genuinely happy to report #JusticeLeague is a lot of fun. It’s not perfect and has its problems, but does the job of making you care about these characters as a team by its end. It’s also VERY funny, in lots of unexpected ways. pic.twitter.com/1AAjYgv16i
— Terri Schwartz (@Terri_Schwartz) November 10, 2017
JUSTICE LEAGUE! It’s okay. Narratively it’s a mess, the stakes don’t work & the villain isn’t great. HOWEVER, the heroes ARE great, it’s funny, & there’s some surprisingly effective character work. I didn’t love it, but there are enough good pieces to excite me for the future. pic.twitter.com/OY4ARJ5vDY
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is better than BvS and #SuicideSquad – it’s lean, mean & packed w/ superhero action. I dug most of its lighter moments & I think it has one of the best action sequences ever in a DCEU movie. And of course Wonder Woman steals the show. pic.twitter.com/rW3UjpBUMk
— ErikDavis (@ErikDavis) November 10, 2017
Here it goes … #JusticeLeague is super thin and has some very weak CG but it’s got heart and a positive vibe that works. Overall, I had a pretty good time and am looking forward to seeing more of these characters.
— Perri Nemiroff (@PNemiroff) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is good!
(And I can finally talk about it!)
Wonder Woman is wonderful, Aquaman is surprisingly cool, Flash is hilarious, Batman is drunk, the story is coherent, and it’s all surprisingly funny. It’s not perfect, but really enjoyable!
Full review to come! pic.twitter.com/YzgSL4FBOP
— Mike Rougeau (@RogueCheddar) November 10, 2017
Justice League is better than expected, but not a home run. The interaction between the team is a lot of fun. The film sends the DCEU in a hopeful direction in line with where the brand should be headed. Flash and Aquaman steal the show. Cyborg and villain are the weak links.

Here are some of my thoughts on #JusticeLeague pic.twitter.com/HZfiWC7Abt
— Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague was entertaining for a good portion of the time though thin on storytelling and character development. There’s more fun, humor and heart than BvS but it also feels very rushed with some scenes given zero time to develop.
— Dennis Tzeng (@ThinkHero) November 10, 2017
Justice League does have its flaws, but the fun negated most of that for me. The cast was amazing. Favorite characters were Flash and Aquaman. The final post credits scene will make you scream!
— Nate Brail (@NateBrail) November 10, 2017
I saw #JusticeLeague and its a bumpy amazing uneven bizarre wet clay event. The Flash & Wonder Woman stand out. It’s a good start. pic.twitter.com/7vAp1YicTp
— Jon Schnepp (@JonSchnepp) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is clunky & uneven as hell, but it also gets the characters right and has a lot of fun along the way. When it’s over DC’s vision for these heroes going forward will make sense.
It’s a very small but very vital step forward. I dug it. pic.twitter.com/FrWkhBe69v
— Conner Schwerdtfeger (@ConnerWS) November 10, 2017
It should also be said that #JusticeLeague has one of the most Batman Batman scenes that this Batman fan has ever seen
— Conner Schwerdtfeger (@ConnerWS) November 10, 2017
I saw #justiceleague & It’s really good!!! Strong film. #WonderWoman did her amazing thing. #Batman came to play. #Cyborg is a star. #Aquaman made me pumped 4 his film. The pacing is perfect. Zack & Joss blended together well. Oh & you’re gonna wanna stay until the very end 😉. pic.twitter.com/wRGvcAg2Hn

Not only is #JusticeLeague one of the funnest movies this year, but (I never thought I’d say this):
CYBORG STEALS THE WHOLE DAMN MOVIE! Ray Fisher owns the character, has the best lines and my favorite action moments. pic.twitter.com/vByo3Ngx1G
— Mellow Marauder (@MellowMarketer) November 10, 2017
so I saw Justice League a week and a half ago. it’s enjoyable and fun! people who thought Man of Steel and BvS were too much of a bummer (this very much includes myself) can feel relieved this is not like that at all.
— Albert Ching (@albertxii) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is solid entertainment despite some problems. They pulled off a strange alchemy that works better than it should. The story is lacking, but the League is great and it’s a blast to watch them in action together. Wonder Woman is clutch, obvi.
— Haleigh Foutch (@HaleighFoutch) November 10, 2017
So yes the #JusticeLeague social embargo is up so I can finally say, this movie is exactly what I think a lot of DC fans have been waiting for since Batman v Superman was announced…
— David Crow (@DCrowsNest) November 10, 2017
I was lucky enough to see a private screening of #JusticeLeague with the @DCMoviesSK squad. It was captivating from start to finish with an amazing cast, fantastic continuity, and some REALLY fun surprises. If you enjoy enjoyable films, then you’ll enjoy it! #ALLIN pic.twitter.com/MDhpz5qxM1
— Jonny Loquasto (@JQuasto) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague is a fun blockbuster that is entertaining enough to overcome its flaws. The team works well together to deliver more than a few spectacular superhero moments worth seeing on the big screen.
Maybe not quite what some hoped, but definitely not what many feared.
— Sean Gerber (@MrSeanGerber) November 10, 2017
Not at all. #JusticeLeague is the real deal. The heroes all rock in very different ways and everyone will have a different favorite character. https://t.co/7UBxR60y7f
— Comicbook.com (@ComicBook) November 10, 2017
It’ll be interesting to see what non-comic fans think. The best part of the film is its heroes. They’re fun characters. If the average moviegoer connects with them, #JusticeLeague will be a big success. https://t.co/MqHRIKltl9
— Comicbook.com (@ComicBook) November 10, 2017
#JusticeLeague! Way more fun than expected. Ezra Miller’s Flash, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman = ❤️😍🔥. Can Gal Gadot play Wonder Woman forever?
— Kara Warner (@karawarner) November 10, 2017
Saw #JusticeLeague and it’s a comic book fan’s dream come true. SPECTACULAR!

#JusticeLeague is fine. It’s more coherent & less idiosyncratic than Batman v Superman (which I loved, so make of that what you will), and tries very hard to lighten up on the gloom & doom of the DC universe. There are jokes and everything!
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) November 10, 2017
Saw #JusticeLeague w/ @DCMoviesSK on the Warner lot. SuperFun. Great fist pumps. Gal is the ⭐️ DC needed. Loved Cyborg. EPIC post credits pic.twitter.com/PuDWybUkpM

And yeah, I really liked #Aquaman in this (didn’t expect to). Enjoyed Affleck’s #Batman. Of course Gal’s #WonderWoman is great, and Ezra’s #TheFlash is a winner. I’m a fan. And I like messages of hope. I’ll see it a third time #JusticeLeague – @aaronsagers
