Plot hole: When Cyborg tells his origin story, he says that the Mother Box in possession of the government was shelved till after the night when Superman died, when it came to life leading it to be studied by Cyborg's father, Silas. However, that contradicts the previous movie, Batman v Superman [both 1 h 39' and 2 h mark], where Batman came upon Luther's metahuman evidence file, including Silas Stone's vlog with the creation of Cyborg that Diana watches.

A fair mea culpa to Batman Vs. Superman, this latest installment in the DC Cinematic Universe brings together Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Superman to tackle world-destroying foe Steppenwolf and his swarm of Parademons to herald in his Master, Darkseid. CGI chaos reigns as the few available mighty heroes battle the winged monsters and their axe-weilding giant commander for the fate of Earth. Some appearances, like Jason Momoa's Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash, might take some getting used to and some of the action sequences were a bit clumsily handled, but overall the movie tries to tie up strands from the prior DC films and create some new ones while earnestly attempting to be entertaining and with some heart. While by far not a perfect superhero film, it is a step in the right direction for DC.
I enjoy it more than The Avengers because it is darker and more realistic.

More trivia for Justice League
Question: What is the story behind the strange makeup blunders in Justice League? Early in the film, both Henry Cavill's and Ben Affleck's facial features seem oddly, almost creepily unrecognizable (in the smartphone sequence of Superman and in the private jet sequence with Bruce Wayne and Alfred). Also, Bruce Wayne's hair color seems to randomly change throughout the movie. As I understand it, between the directing upheaval and editing, many old scenes were deleted and new scenes added, requiring a lot of re-shooting. Is that the reason for the sloppy makeup continuity?

Answer: I don't know about the Ben Affleck portion of your question, but when the film was going back for reshoots, Henry Cavill had grown a mustache for his upcoming role in "Mission: Impossible Fallout" which he was contractually obligated to keep. The special effects crew had no choice but to digitally erase his mustache in post-production, which is why his mouth area looks so odd in some scenes (if you have seen the trailer for "Deadpool 2," Deadpool makes reference to this when he notes that the special effects for Cable's metal arm are not finished, and remarks that it's not like they are trying to remove a mustache). Interestingly, a person on YouTube posted a video of them removing Henry Cavill's mustache using a $500 computer, and it looks remarkably better than what this film did with a $300 million budget.
