I like how your favourite moments stop right before the third act.The final battle was such a let-down.
Ha ha so you noticed that, eh? Yeah...

There are many great moments here.
Compared to Avengers, lets see:
Story: JL = Avengers
Dialogue: JL = Avengers
Acting: JL = Avengers
FX: JL < Avengers
JL Opening Scene > Avengers
WW vs Terrorists > Black Widow vs Terrorists
Steppenwolf intro > Loki intro
Superman vs League > Ironman vs Thor vs Cap
Tunnel fight < Hellicarrier fight
JL Final Battle < Avengers Battle
JL group shot < Avengers group shot
JL ending < Avengers ending
So pretty much on par with Avengers.

Now, please, I hate the MCU with a passion and would never openly wish to chose JL over the Avengers but the circular opening shot of the Avengers trumps Whedon's re-cocked massacre shot of the JL, Snyder's finished version would have knocked the Avengers into a cocked hat, but what there is in the JL film as it stands IMO, is not as good as the Avengers 'ready for action' shot in their film.
I changed to reflect mine!
Yeah your right, after thinking about it, the Superman vs JL is better than the Ironman v Thor v Cap.
But the ending with Lois Lane talking showing the JL individually doing their stuff is still way better than Fury talking to Hill showing Avengers individually doing their stuff is a lot better.
I reversed that for myself because in The Avengers, I actually felt the payoff of them coming together. There were those interview clips in the ending montage with the civilians describing how they want to thank the heroes and with them imitating them. It was really nice to see the world accept the Avengers. JL was sorely missing in that aspect. It set it up so nicely in the beginning with the world in mourning, but it lacked that payoff of seeing the world accept the JL, let alone cheer that Superman is back, and left me very unsatisfied. I did like how Whedon tried to do the same thing he did with the Avengers, but it felt really half-hearted.
