The future is now.
Say whatever you want, the villain of the movie never really interacting with the rest of the cast is a red flag the size of Eisenberg Luthor.
Unless he's kind of a background cosmic overlord a la pre-Darkseid Thanos-lite and there's another villain taking its place on the ground, which I am not expecting at all.

Lol they pit Batman against him? I guess this is the movie where Batfleck dies.

Nev says that you can say whatever you want, this all red flags everywhere!!
More like "we paired this character who sells with someone who is unlikely to sell anything to avoid clogging up the toy aisles."

Steppenwolf serves Darkseid.

Almost dies but gets saved by Superman.
It's not like motion capture is 1:1 you get some good strokes. But then, notes are made... models are tweaked. Influence for a monster is more than a man's face...etc..
So.. he could likely just do voice over, and animators, like always, will do their job to animate. And get 0 credit when the actots take credit for a 200 person vfx crew.

This stuff is pretty prevalent in superhero movies. I was told Spider-Man: Homecoming had some CGI Spider-Man. I never noticed it.
They make it easier for the audience to relate to.
Human aliens or humanoid aliens.

And Martian Manhunter. And Starfire. And the Hawk people. And...

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
This whole fucking movie is going to be green screen after the first act, isn't it? It bothered me in Batman v Superman and it even bothered me in Wonder Woman. I just can't stand how it looks. I'll take smaller setpieces if they just shoot on location, please.

that makes it even funnier
Those were only because of technical / budget limitations, don't you even doubt it. The very moment he got a bigger budget (King Kong) it got embarrassing, and it hasn't stopped to this day. Hobbit movies might as well be fully CGI.
What? Wonder Woman had a lot of outdoors shooting and real sets and it shows. That's one of the things I liked the most, it didn't feel like your usual cheap-looking CGI galore green screen indoors warehouse movie.
Check the BTS. In fact it looks like most of the movie was actually shot that way.

I just can't wrap my head around them going with Steppenwolf as the first villain. Why not Kalibak at the very least?
You would be a fool to expect small set pieces in a movie like JL or Avengers. It's the whole point. And shooting on location for said set pieces is just not realistic. Snyder said most of JL was indeed shot on a green screen.
And WW was like 90% on location so....

I thought actors doing cgi roles still were on set with actors in motion capture suits. So people can properly play off one another as in oppose to acting to nothing and nobody

Kalibak never leads Darkseid's armies. He's always in some corner making weapons.
That's basically an animation movie. It has one real person. The Hobbit is supposed to be live-action. It bothered me in Beauty and the Beast, though.
Well I'll take 80% real / 20% CGI over the opposite any day.
Just imagine some of the action scenes in today's blockbusters are the 21st century equivalent of the Mary Poppins scenes of Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke dancing around with penguins and you'll feel better about yourself.
Because that's what a lot of this stuff often ends up being on screen. CGI animated movies with a sprinkle of humanity and props here and there.

It's actors talking to tennis balls I think.

That's rarer, in something like the Planet of the Apes movies. Usually there's a stand in of some sort. Like with Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn's brother plays Rocket Raccoon on set. Later on Bradley Cooper comes in.

That or a stuntman. The guy who plays Thanos' body is one of the henchmen in the Civil War opening IIRC.
These days the toys almost never reflect the actual movie content. Even Lego sets based on DC and Marvel movies tend to have one or two sets based on actual movie scenes and the rest depict things that never happened.

Smaug was the best part of that movie so this is fine by me.
Iirc, Earth isn't the origin planet of humans in the DC lore (think it's the same with Marvel). The English language certainly is of alien origins (Green Lantern old 52).
In Wonder Woman they mentioned that
Zeus created man in his image. So yeah, maybe they're from where he's from
Because a movie that has to establish as much as this has to with Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman, a villain with some actual personality and history probably seemed like too much.
Kalibak? Darkseid couldn't trust him to open a door let along conquer Erf
for all the reasons this movie may fail, this doesn't sound like one of them
why are people laughing? this is an actor being a real professional. "oh i'm not voicing a dragon. i am playing a dragon."
