    I thought it was a 7/10 for plot, acting and humor, but will give it a 6/10 for the abysmal CGI.

    I was pleasantly surprised as traditionally, DC movies haven’t performed all that well so my expectations were a little low, but it seems like they’re starting to slowly get a little better as marvel movies start to get a little worse.

    There are definitely areas they could have improved upon, of course, firstly, the CGI was just so bad, like the scorpion King levels of bad in some places! The script could have been tightened up a little bit better. It was as if I had to make the jump between a couple of scenes based on my experience with other movies. For instance, when he was talking to his dad in prison, and he quickly transitioned to standing outside of his old house, I thought it was a flashback, or an out-of-body experience or something, but no, he was physically there, seamlessly handed off the phone call from his cell phone to his suit, and it took me a second to figure out what happened. Just a lot of little stuff like that took me out of the movie and forced me to figure out what was happening and re-engage.

    Still, happy to have seen it!

      This is a very valid review. I forgave all of that stuff because of how well they paid tribute to 1989 Batman by Tim Burton. It was a very nostalgia filled experience for me.

        Do you think it is worth seeing just for that? I wasn’t planning to go, but maybe for Keaton?

          There was a lot of action, some good humor, and even a little heart. You have to forgive some things (like the CGI and a few flow issues with the plot), but it was an enjoyable watch and I’d recommend it if you like the superhero genre.

          I think Keaton’s Batman is, maybe, the best of the movie. But I don’t know if it’s worth going to the cinema only for that. You could wait until it is available in HBO max.

    I really liked it! The CGI was really bad in points, but I mostly forgave it because of the surreal context. Except for maybe the bad CGI at the end, that was harder to forgive. I also couldn’t get out Ezra Miller’s various crimes out of my head completely during the movie. I did for a lot of it, but not as much as I had hoped lol.

    Still, I really liked it! I thought the story and acting were great. The cameos were enjoyably nostalgic. The heroes got to do cool action stuff while still keeping the enemies intimidating and a threat. And it was pretty funny while still managing to maintain a lot of heart. It’s hard to do stuff with the Flash because he’s so OP, he has to be pretty dumb to not trivialize every encounter, but they made the battles and action scenes work. I’d probably rate it higher than others who are bothered by the CGI or other personal scandals from the cast, let’s say an 8/10.

      I also found it a little difficult to get Ezra Miller’s various crimes out of my head. I had to keep reminding myself to just enjoy the film and not think about the actor lol. I did kinda end up enjoying the movie though. 6.5/10

      That was always the plan. Affleck has wanted out for a while, and while nobody has been officially confirmed yet as his replacement, I’m pretty sure that’s the last time we will see him as Batman.

    I liked it, but didn’t love it. I have no interest in watching it again and I love the Flash.

    The CGI is bad, noticeably so. I don’t think it was because the animators did a bad job. I think it’s because of how much of it was needed. Especially all the facial animations which are very difficult.

    The story was okay. It’s a very pivotal, modern Barry Allen story. The execution here was alright. I enjoyed the ride.

    All in all I would have rather have gotten an excellent smaller scale movie, then this alright big movie.

    I didn’t liked it. I feel totally disappointed about this movie. I get bored in the first half. Later, when action begins, it gets better but not enough. The story seems to be inconsistent and characters lack charisma. Maybe, the best is Michael Keaton’s Batman. I expected a story focused on the events that will cause the new beginning for DCEU. Being generous 5/10.
