Watched it yesterday. The CGI was not great, but the movie was pretty decent. One of the better DC offerings so far and better than nearly everything the MCU is putting out right now.

I enjoyed it, but I’m still not sure what happened at the end with all the old actors and stuff.


They were creating a universe-destroying event where all of the earths combine into one reality. A "crisis on infinite earths" retcon type of event. This sort of reboot happened in the Falshpoint story in the comics.

Movie is garbage outside of Batman. CW flash is better than this. Ezras running is the stupidest shite I’ve ever seen

Totally agree with this. Makes no sense.

So in this new continuity, WW and AM are still present. Clooney is Bruce Wayne. Does that mean Chris O’Donnell is Robin/Nightwing? And since Cavill isn’t Superman, I guess they can cast that whoever they want?

I watched this last night and . . . It was actually much, much better than I thought it was going to be - many very nice scenes.

Movie was absolutely arse, I quite frankly don’t know what the point of the whole thing was. It accomplished nothing but random moments of fan service.

The CGI was literally as bad as pre-rendered video game trailers from the early 2000s

Just finished watching it. Ok storyline, very bad CGI, funnier than expected, good acting. Way too long.

How the hell do y'all think Ezra is good as Barry? He's horrile.
he's not that bad, I get he can be annoying, has an annoying personality, I get that. I tell you 1 thing though, the boy cannot run to save himself, his running style is horrible for sure. I was hoping it would improve in this movie, but NOO, just as goofy as before, maybe even more goofy with the leaning forward and all of that foolishness.

My impression is once WB realized they were punting on the DCEU they didn't spend any more effort on the CGI. It was Thor:Ragnarok level bad. But, I can watch a movie with subpar effects and still enjoy it if the rest of the movie was okay. This one is enjoyable enough.

I wanted to love this movie. Really did.

Batman stuff was mostly awesome.

The rest of the movie was just not good.

And God damn the CGI was bad.

Not enough Wonder Woman. That is one fine lady.
Yeah the CGI was really bad.

I just watched it again, and it made a lot more sense. Thanks for explaining.

Just watched it and found it to be Meh. As others have said, the Keaton Batman scenes show what a good Batman actor is supposed to be. He is the character unlike Affleck (whose portrayal I can’t stand).

Ezra was mediocre. Kid is talented as an actor, but sucks in this role. Last scene with his mom, I’ll give him credit, but that’s it.

Super Girl part was just stupid. Actress wasn’t the issue but nothing to call home about. The writing of the character was just wasteful.

The “worlds colliding” montage was pure fan service that just didn’t hit for me. I mean, it is nice to see some old iterations, but seemed forced and just horrible CGI, which was a flaw for the whole movie.

Iris West actress was awful. I am not a fan of race swapping, but at least if an actor is doing well, it’s not a big deal. Do it with a bad to horrible actor and it just stands out. Same went for Barry’s mom. It’s just so forced and the actress is just bad.

I honestly think WB just said Eff it after all the Ezra drama hit and just wanted the film canned and that version of DCEU ended.

In the end, it proved why Keaton is the best Batman by far to me and how they added almost nothing to the character in this recent iteration.

Young Paula shore flash would be my biggest complaint

Keaton is just great

This is the first super hero movie I’ve wanted to watch in the last 5 years…
It was relatively entertaining but I hated how much of a loser they made Barry…I liked the TV version so much better.
The posing before they start running is stupid and I agree Ezra looks stupid running.

I didn’t understand the posing either, but the Flash is just a cool character.

It is disappointing we won’t get a second movie. I think he is by far one of the more interesting characters DC has and should expand on him.

I'm actually very hopeful they're moving on from Ezra Miller's Flash. Hopefully we get a different one.

I thought the third act was complete nonsense


This seems to be the trend for comic book movies. It’s like they don’t really know how to end any of them, so they end up with a mess of a final fight.

Shang Chi was like that. They actually do a pretty good introducing everyone and building up the story, then it’s just 45 minutes of mess to end it.
