Four hours long. And it really didn't need to be because the first half could have been cut down. If we lose all that unnecessary slow motion and weird singing, the pacing would have been faster.
Also, there really was no need for Flash meeting Iris in this movie, because that whole scene with Flash touching Iris' face, got really weird really fast. And it stayed weird throughout.
While we're speaking of The Flash, Ezra Miller needs to be coached to better his "run acting". He didn't look like he could run very fast when he's running... like that.
The movie picked up in the second half, especially the final act. The action sequences were much better because they had time to breathe, as with every other scene that didn't go on for way too long. There were better character development and nothing felt rushed.
There were still logical problems. Where I appreciated that Cyborg and Flash were pushed to the forefront more, but when they were trying to access the Motherbox, with a plan, with a countdown and then failed the first time; the second attempt didn't need a countdown? And for the fastest man alive, Flash sure took a long time reach Cyborg due to a weird pacing issue.
Also, I think having Flash figuring out he could move through space and time was very premature. It shouldn't have been so soon to have figured out his power, but I get that this was Snyder's only chance to do it.
Was it a better movie? Sure. It would be an epic fail on Snyder's part if he didn't learn from the first movie. But it's still the same movie, same plot, same story. And with some of those weird parts, it's not much better.
At least we didn't have a weird Superman CGI mouth.
