Just got back from watching it myself

The first act is indeed a mess and it takes a while for you to get into what Gunn is going for but after that it's great. I feel like they could have cut out some stuff like the Kaiju and some of the Justice Gang to set things up better and it would overall be more cohesive

There are definitely pointless characters and this movie will become better or worse based on how the new DCU plays out over time. If there's no pay off for these characters then this movie becomes worse but either ways it's not an amazing standalone movie even if it was entertaining

Clark's parents sending him to conquer Earth needed a lot more than a single speech from Pa Kent and people instantly hating him then instantly loving him again

Superman is a newbie at this but I feel like Superman would do more to get Krypto trained up and would actually tell Kara off for her loose living. It's fine if the training doesn't take and she ignores his lectures but Superman would give those lectures and would try that training

On a positive note I really felt like this is a Superman who cares and is a Big Blue Boy Scout so the vibe is good. Jimmy Olsen was great as well.
