I didn't care for Man of Steel the first time I saw it, but it's really grown on me, and while BvS has problems, I like that one too. Snyder is obviously a fan of opera, and that's sort of how he makes his films. Obvious themes, big emotions, grand spectacle, but the plot is all over the place. I kind'a like opera too, but a lot of people don't I guess.

My worry with Justice League is that Whedon and Snyder's styles are like oil and water. Whedon's stuff is a lot more understated, and I don't know how much of his work is in that SDCC clip, but the new stuff sticks out like a sore thumb. It lurches from Syder's patented 9000 fps slow-mo, and arty camera work, to proscenium stuff like the Flash cracking wise on the rooftop, and the four of them lined up on those steps like a boy-band. He's obviously redone the colour grading too, and I’m not sure that it looks better.
