This is a much more difficult movie to give a fair an balanced rating or review for. The story itself was pretty good. I think this movie gets hit by the "cheese grater effect": too many problems lined up, enabling a disaster. The execs just want to finish the DCEU and restart/reboot it. Ezra Miller went off the deep end and, rightfully so, people didn't want to see him in this. That left the studio up a creek unless they wanted to spend time doing massive reshoots to replace him. Personally I think they should have as it would've given the effects team more time to fix the CGI. Speaking of the CGI, it was bad. So bad the criticism calling it PS2-like is warranted. While the story was good, I have to agree with people saying the CW show did Flashpoint better. It was amazing to see Michael Keaton back as batman. Yet with all the superman cameos, I didn't notice Henry Cavil in there at all. They could fit in Nicholas Cage as a nod/joke, but couldn't give Henry Cavil a brief cameo?
All in all, if they wanted a top seller, they should have just canceled the movie and made a 3rd Keaton batman movie unrelated to any DCEU and acted like batman forever and batman and Robin never happened.
