The first act of this movie was not good. That scene of Barry saving the babies in the hospital is not only stupid AF, but also dangerous and irresponsible. Who knows what kind of defects those babies have now.
It made Barry look like a total jackass too, since he should have just ran up there as soon as Alfred said the foundation was about to fall apart. The rest of the scene could have played out the similarly. The CGI looked like shyt too.
Both DCEU movies this year had Gal Gadot cameos, but they scrapped her solo movie.
If she shows up in Blue Beetle or Aquaman 2 I'm gonna be

Why they keep trying to make Iris black? First the CW show, now the movie. Trying to turn Iris West into Iris Wench.
Once Barry goes back into the past and meets his younger self and his parents is when the movie really starts going. I hate to say it because Ezra Miller is persona non grata, but they were actually really good in those scenes. The scenes where Barry plays off his younger self actually work really well, and Ezra does a good job distinguishing the two in their performance. In the first act Barry acts like Rain Man, but as the movie goes on he actually acts normal.
Of course once Michael Keaton comes in the movie goes into full gear. Interesting that they ignored the Scumacher films. Obviously Keaton wasn't in those, but I was surprised they didn't imply that he ever had a Robin in this universe.

That final battle did not look good. As much as we shyt on the green screen and bad CGI of the Marvel movies, the DC ones aren't any better. That shyt looked janky as hell, like those weird "Sell the Snyderverse to Netflix" videos people were doing a while back.
I did really like the climax. Interesting to compare and contrast the "Inevitable intersection" of this movie and the "Canon event" in Across the Spyderverse.
That scene of adult Barry meeting his mom the last time was really sweet, but I feel like 99% of women would be like
if some grown ass man starts crying to them in the middle of the supermarket. I get that there's an implication that she knew it was him and there's some "motherly intuition" that mothers have in fiction when they meet their adult children from the future, but Barry was lucky he didn't get pepper sprayed or some shyt.
I was
at the Nicolas Cage cameo, but I was
at the George Clooney one. I was confused at first because it was clearly not Ben Affleck's voice on the phone, but when George Clooney popped out the car I was
Post-credits scene was stupid, and just leaves you with more questions than answers.
For this to be the DCEU's version of Flashpoint it really doesn't make clear what the state of the universe is. Obviously, Affleck, Cavill, Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot are all out. But is Jason Mamoa staying on as Aquaman? It would make more sense than making him Lobo. I know damn well they're not keeping Ezra Miller around after all the shyt they pulled. They're lucky if this movie doesn't flop or get review bombed because of Ezra.
