Why? I distinctly remember having the urge to puke while seeing some parts of BVs

Yeah. Don't know about puke, but I had a very strong urge to walk out of the cinema at various points during BvS. That movie does have some potentially good elements, but they're drowned out by all the cringe.

Because they are both painful beyond belief and to say one was better than the other is like saying it's better than a turd, which is saying nothing at all.
I honestly can't decide which one is more awful, but I'm certainly not going to willfully sit through either one of them again to figure it out.. lol
In fact I might have puked if not being already warned babout it being shit. Talking about good elements, I was screaming when WW dropped in at the climax, with the most epic theme in DCEU to boot
And couldn't help saying hell yeah that's how Batman should fight for the warehouse scene

Besides Danny Elfman using his own Batman 89 theme and snippets of John Williams' Superman theme, this movie is the DCEU's worst and one of the biggest disappointments in my movie-buff lifetime.
I can make an analogy between the DCEU and the Bond franchise here:
- BvS:Quantum of Solace::Justice Leaguepectre
BvS, like Quantum of Solace, had some beautiful shots/cinematography, took a lot of risks plotwise (except for both movies' third acts where things go to pot), and took liberties with their headlining characters while still providing homage to classic franchise works (Batman kills and brands his enemies but still has some nods to Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns; Bond doesn't bed the main Bond girl, is wanted by the CIA, and never says, "Bond. James Bond," but still drinks vodka martinis and does the classic Spy Who Loved Me drop a guy off a roof with your tie Roger Moore move).
WB execs pretty much had Joss Whedon do an Avengers rip-off and use a bland CGI villain, CGI-laden bombastic action set pieces, and quips quips quips to ape the typical comic book movie formula. Spectre used all the old Bond tropes only with Daniel Craig and Hans Landa instead of reinventing the franchise as the previous three entries (Casino Royale, QoS, and Skyfall) had done each of their turns at the wheel.
In these cases, the risky filmmaking choices paid off more times than they fell short for both BvS and QoS, whereas DC/Bond by-the-numbers Justice League and Spectre both are their franchise's (DCEU and Craig Bond) worst outings, IMO.
TL;DR - Justice League was too formulaic and was a massive disappointment to an adult who grew up watching all manner of DC superheroes on the big and small screen, and franchises' installments that play it safe most always rank lower than their brethren that try something new and unique.
- I went to see Man of Steel at midnight opening night
- I went opening night to BvS
- I waited for a Netflix rental for Suicide Squad
- I haven't watched Wonder Woman all the way through
- My wife and I split watching Justice League redbox between a late night Thursday and an early morning Friday. Why you ask? She feel asleep watching it Thursday night.
It really isn’t it’s rewatch value has honestly died down

Even if Wonder Woman wasn't a good movie, it is. The fact that it has Gal Gadot wearing a Wonder Woman outfit would be enough reason to rewatch it.

It is good but it loses a lot of its shine after the first watch. The dceu doesn’t have one single great film. Their fans went nuts over a solid film. That’s how bleak it is over there at loserville.
The nerve of Kevin Tsujihara to say, "can’t do what Disney’s done." 😡. They would've been able to do so with movies that match what they've done in animation if they took their time, got DC heavily involved, and hired competent filmmakers not named Zack Snyder.
Instead, we have an overall poor slate of movies capped off by the last one that was rushed out so Mr. Tsujihara and another can get a bonus. He's no better than Jon Peters.
