The initial reviews for the highly-awaited DCEU film, "Justice League," have finally arrived — giving fans and expectant audiences a glimpse of what they can hope to see from the latest title in the comic book to movie adaptation. At this point, even if the reviews are somewhat limited, there have been numerous perspectives and opinions about the film so far.

In a report by Gamespot, the general opinion thus far is that "Justice League is a great improvement compared to that of the poorly reviewed "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice," as well as "Suicide Squad." Given that, this should be a good sign for die-hard DCEU fans who have extremely high hopes or expectations for the film. It is apparent that the film's creators even followed the massively successful formula of "Wonder Woman."

Some critics have even stated that the film has found its niche when it comes to humor, and has lessened the brooding dark tone that was overtly present in the previous DCEU films. According to Comic Book, critics seem to be in agreement that the heroes were showcased very well in "Justice League," highlighting each super hero individually — and at the same time, introducing the new ones such as Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg, effectively.

However, "Justice League" is a film that is "not perfect," according to Indian Express, the main weak point of the film is the villain, Steppenwolf, who is played by Ciaran Hinds. This is something that is rather unsurprising since Hinds had to do most of the work through special effects. It can be surmised that this is the same problem that "Batman vs. Superman" ran into when they unleashed the villain Doomsday.

Despite some negative comments, the film is still considered a major improvement. According to Forbes, some critics have even said that "Justice League" achieves many of the things that "Wonder Woman" did so well. If this is the case, then it is highly likely that "Justice League" will achieve financial success at the box-office.

"Justice League" will premiere on Nov. 17.
