The Flash

I enjoyed it overall but it's not without problems. The second and third acts are the best thanks to Michael Keaton as Batman and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. The two them along with Ezra Miller's original Barry make for a good team. Ezra did a good job of making Flashpoint Barry feel unique but I found this version of the character annoying.

I have two problems with the film. First, the CGI in several places does not look good. It's very much in PS3/Xbox 360 video game territory. I think they bit off more than they could chew, particularly with creating the speed force. Second, the first act of the movie is overstuffed. The whole point of the movie is Barry accidentally creating a Flashpoint universe and trying to get home. The scenes with Barry's job and Iris could have been cut while the opening action sequence could have been shortened.

Overall, it's a mid-tier DCEU movie. It's good enough for me to watch it again but it clearly wasn't firing on all cylinders.
