Well Infinity War is being directed by the guys that did The Winter Soldier and Civil War and the other Avengers movies are being directed by the guy that is basically being blamed for all the bad parts of the JL movie. So I think it's safe to say that if you didn't like the first two Avengers movies but did like Civil War, you're more likely to like the Infinity War movies than not.

Movie was dope as hell! I like that the DC universe does really good at portraying the power of the characters. Like each hit is with such force. Like when Wonder Woman smashed into that room during her intro. The head buts between supes and WW. Every punch Supes landed on Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolf was an excellent villain in my opinion. Powerful, no nonsense type. Looked cool as hell too, not all cartoonish like some Marvel villains (although I like they're villains too, this is just a refreshing change).

My initial gripe with these movies was that they threw the characters together with no individual movies to build the characters alone. But I think they did an excellent job here introducing each character to where a standalone for each wasn't needed.
Maybe someone not familiar with the characters would feel differently, idk.

I think I know why DC didn't do the whole individual movies. Marvel already did that.
If DC did that, then folks would be griping about how they're copying Marvel's format. They didn't need to do a bunch of solo movies b4 JL.
I like what they did. Straight out the gate wit the crew movie. Folks already know the backstory of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Like you said, they did a job giving them a backstory w/o doing a standalone.
And for those who griped about the way Cyborg looked, it actually made sense towards the end.

People keep comparing Steppenwolf to Malekith when the two are very different.
Steppenwolf was very much a general. He was definitely a physical threat but I understood that he was very much just following orders. He had awareness of his surroundings and even a couple opinions on what was happening but he had a mission to carry out.
Malekith on the other hand was a fumble because they could have made him a sympathetic villain who had to reconcile the genocide of his race at the hand on Odin by making the universe hospitable for his remaining people. They touched on it so lightly that you missed it if you blinked. And it's a shame because Ragnorak picked up some of that thread when we saw Odin and Hela killing and conquering worlds. But there's never any call back to the consequences of Odin's past actions of killing off the Frost giants and dark elves. It ended up being a shallow retread of Lord of the Rings, choosing action over character development.
Bottom line, Steppenwolf was used in just the way he was supposed to be used. Some characters don't require an elaborate backstory or a sympathetic perspective. You just need to know what they're doing and why. We got that.

That Deathstroke movie will be absolute flames if it gets off the ground and Gareth Evans has Iko Uwais to do the fight choreography. Manganiello looked just like Slade.

Yea, that post-credits scene was fire. Deathstroke looked raw

Saying Steppenwolf was a shit villain is like saying Alfred was a shit butler or Detective Gordon was a shit cop.

Your statement makes no sense
To someone with cognitive dissonance, I'm sure it does.
Imagine if I'm the biggest Gordon fan in the world. I'd be mad as hell saying they ruined his character by not devoting at least half an hour to him.

You're so emotional when it comes to this shit lol. You're too dense to process any type of negative critque of the film. Steppenwolf is the most generic and basic of villains so far in this universe, no debate.
