Early reviews of 'Justice League' say it's 'fun' — but it's no slam dunk

Warner Bros.

• On social media, critics are saying "Justice League" is fun and a course correction for the DC Comics movie franchise. 
• While early word is mostly positive and that it's better than "Batman v Superman," many critics agree the story lacks a bit overall and the villain is forgettable.
• Full movie reviews will arrive next week.

Early reactions are out for Warner Bros.' big superhero movie "Justice League," and, so far, they're pretty positive. 

That's exactly what the studio needs after tepid response to superhero team ups "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad." By no means are critics' early words glowing, but they're not terrible either. That should at least give fans hoping for a good Batman movie post-Christopher Nolan some hope.

Take these early reactions with a grain of salt. The actual movie reviews will begin publishing November 15 at 2:50 a.m. EST, a mere two days before the film’s release. That's not always the greatest sign for a big tentpole movie such as "Justice League."

So what are critics saying?

It's "fun."

Seriously, the majority of reviewers who have seen the film have used that word to describe it.

If you weren't a fan of "BvS" or "Suicide Squad," then "Justice League" should help repair those wounds.

Here's a no-brainer. Wonder Woman steals the movie.

But she's not the only one.

For those who are skeptical of all the praise — it's not a slam dunk.
