My take
Cyborg - Strong actor. I like the gravitas he has. He could've easily been overpowered / outacted by Joe Morton but he wasn't. Too bad his lackluster CGI may overshadow his good performance for some people.
WW - Not as good here as she was in her solo movie. Because of her thinness I never get the strong warrior feel I should get from her. Maybe Gal was previously great because of the fish out of water story arc and without it she doesn't have that much charm or magnetism. I really enjoyed the amazons a lot though.
Batman - Better performance by Ben here than in BvS. I'm confused by the reviews that claim he looks like he rather not be there, seems to me he put more effort here. He did look a bit bloated / not as handsome as he did before, especially in contrast to Henry.
Queen Mera - Amber's fight scene was dope and her costume is incredible but then she opens her mouth to act and just fell flat. Hopefully she improves for the solo movie. Wasn't much chemistry between her and Jason either.
Aquaman - They made him cool, his costume is great. I liked his sarcasm and stoicness. He feels formidable. There's really not much else to say about him though, he didn't have that much to do. But I'm looking forward to his solo. The water effects of Atlantis were cool.
Superman - His return scene was the highlight of the movie for me, which I wasn't expecting. Cavill exudes power as Superman. Great screen presence. He showed us exactly why Superman going rogue is so scary.
The Flash - The characterization is a little too on the nose and redundant but Ezra was okay. (During the Central City scenes in the back of my mind I couldn't help but think of the CW Flash still, which to be fair is not their fault). His face during the Superman confrontation was absolutely brilliant. Overall though I'm going to have to give it up to Grant Gustin. His scenes with his father in S1 were more emotional than JL's take, which felt empty. I expected better from Ezra. Screen time isn't the issue either, as Cyborg and his father scenes resonated with me.
Lois Lane- Still boring as ever. It hurts to see a Lois so bland (Lane is one of the few love interest characters that rose beyond being just a love interest with the Kidder, Durance and especially Hatcher versions). The scene where Lois brings Clark back to reality would've been emotionally heavier if I cared about this Lois. I don't think it's Amy either, she's just written so boringly. She has no fiestiness.
Jim Gordon - Not enough screen time to judge.
Cyborg - Strong actor. I like the gravitas he has. He could've easily been overpowered / outacted by Joe Morton but he wasn't. Too bad his lackluster CGI may overshadow his good performance for some people.
