If you have a spellchecker, code formatter and a linter, code reviews improve significantly. Much better than having to do that work by hand, or reviewing it by hand, leaving code reviews for higher level ideas.

Exactly. Code reviews shouldn't be about code formatting or anything that can be automated away with linters, formatters, code coverage limits and static analysis. If the build is green for the PR, then all that is already acceptable.
