honest review:

first off, visuals are great. I really like this new Archer-like art style. Animation comes smooth and movements are easy to follow. Wonder woman’s design is possibly the best yet in the DCAU. and yeah, I always like seeing jay garrick even if his costume is so wacky lol

story wise, its an eh, ok. it was all over the place, the main plot point seemed unclear until the end, where it was supposed to be about forming a superhero team. Flash seemed like yeah whatever, after being suddenly teleported to a completely different earth and it didnt even bother to mention what was he doing before.

some noticeable plot holes are also present, such as canary suddenly in steve’s plane crash (she’s just running while the others are flying, jumping, or running in supersonic) and people suddenly knowing how to operate atlantis tech.

all the heroes seemed to be goody-two-shoes. not much variation on their character. the villains, i think they kind of lost track on this one. the nazis had a big setup but nothing came out of it and they just pulled out the atlanteans half-baked. some exposition is also lacking, shakespeare really got the short end of the stick

all in all its a meh to ok movie. I’m not sure if this was a stand alone movie or some sort of a reboot to the recently ended movie series, but this would be a good starter movie for a brand new universe since it introduces some new and unexposed elements if they ever wish to expand on that. 3/5 if a reboot, 2/5 if standalone.
