I wanted to like this show so bad but unfortunately I couldn't. The first episode was decent but soon after we encounter a lot of examples of bad and stiff acting that just don't make the scenes or the whole show flow and it really does affect your enjoyment of it. Most of the visuals are pretty good, the location cgi designs and the creature designs were great and bending vfxs weren't too bad either. The final avatar state scene was actually pretty well made which impressed me. Still, because of the way the story was developed and the poor performances I lost interest and probably wouldn't watch season 2.

DC has always been king when it comes to animation but for some reason the tomorrowverse ( all the movies after JLD Apokolips War) has been a huge disappointment and JL war world is no exception. The movie doesn't feel like a movie, it feels more like an episode. The animation style of this new universe is not my favorite, however, that's very subjective so I wouldn't take points off for their animation style. The writing and plot line in the other hand does take points off for me. The ending seemed rushed and story and character mini arcs didn't really make me fall in love or appreciate any of them more. I think DC doesn't understand that writing good character arcs and plots isn't just important for the movie itself, but also for the IP and brand in general. If you make me love the characters, I can be the loyal customer that I once was, the one that would buy your movie tickets, toys and games no matter what. But that customer has been lost because you guys just keep giving us bad writing and not listening to fans.

I didn't have high expectations from the movie but I thought I'd give it a chance, well... I should've just stayed home cause this movie is not even worth streaming for free.

The acting: Ezra Millers performance impressed me with how cringe it is, awkward annoying teen who is just unlikeable and nothing like the actual flash from the comics btw. The performance of his friends felt like a CW show. I guess the only thing decent was Michael Keaton.

VFX: not only was the green screen super obvious in some of the scenes, some of the cgi people in the movie looked like ps2 characters. Some of the explosion vfxs looked like they were put with a Snapchat filter.

The plot: it's just a mess, had potential but nah.

I guess the only good thing that I liked in this movie was his suit and Kara's suit. That's about it. The suits were well designed and looked good.
