I mean, since I'm guessing DP2 had a smaller budget, the choice to keep Juggs in his yellow jumpsuit with his helmet on was smart: follows the plot well, Juggs' most recognizable feature is his unique helmet, and it hid any issues with having to look at a CGI face for the last half of the film.
JL on the other hand...well, Steppenwolf's face and frame was constantly seen in all it's PlayStation-ness:
- Face shots of Step saying, "Mother," or something like that.
- Full body shots in brightly-lit scenes.
- A bigger PG-13 budget.
What made everyone think, "Yep, that'll do on a film featuring our biggest superheroes ever assembled on the silver screen?" Just straight garbage. Have I mentioned that I really didn't like Justice League?
CPT Space Bomb is right: Abomination looked much better because Louis Letterier and crew knew how to light and shoot the final Harlem showdown to accent all Abom's look's strengths and hide his CGI shortcomings.
EDIT: Took out a phrase.
