Not terrible? What got it for me is the biggest thing that Zach Snyder never understood. We want to see an accurate representation of the characters we know from the comics. Not his idea of what a dark and gritty version of them would be. I know he knows this is the problem with the films, because it's brought up every time his DC movies are mentioned. We don't want angsty and brooding Superman, murderous Batman, angry and kick ass Aquaman.... Okay I take that last one back. He can stay. But look at how he decided to play Lex Luthor. Or the strangeness of Jared Leto's Joker. Most of the Suicide Squad was okay, because they already fit his 'super heroes by way of Hot Topics and the Army Surplus store' aesthetic.
For me the big reason why Wonder Woman succeeds where the others have failed is her story is divorced from the greater narrative they had built. She could be and was the Wonder Woman we know, if in somewhat more muted colors. It wasn't some re-imagining of the Wonder Woman mythos. Had you told me they just took one of her comic book stories and adapted it to a movie, I would believe it. The movie feels accurate in a way that Batman v Superman absolutely did not. Time will tell if the studio learns the right lessons here and alters Justice League appropriately. My fear was it's already been shot and all but finished by Zach Snyder's vision and the studio won't let Joss Wheadon change much of it.
