I really thought I watched an unfinished version of this movie by mistake. That's how bad the CGI was. It doesn't help that the director defended the cgi by saying they did it on purpose because when Barry is moving fast, things will look "distorted" from his perspective. What a laughable excuse. I remember seeing all the very positive reviews from an advanced screening like a month before release. Makes me think all those reviewer testimonies were paid.
Bad CGI aside, the plot was ok but execution was terrible. They made multiverses and time traveling seem so mundane and the viewer doesn't really feel the weight or the implications of Barry's actions. The jokes fell flat for me too. As usual, it's always Batman who comes out as the best thing in these kinds of movies. Batfleck looked so bloated and weird though, and Affleck looked fine out of costume so I don't know what was going on there.
Yeah the new Batfleck costume was cringingly awful
