DC and WB just can't seem to get it right. I was hyped for this movie because I thought this was the one for them finally. It's hard to watch. Ezra Miller is really hard to like in real life with their personal drama but they're somehow even more unlikable on screen. Their jokes or attempts to be humorous are not funny and with a 2 1/2 hour movie they just get annoying and their cursing just served no purpose so when it keeps happening it's just frustrating. The CGI is shockingly bad. Some scenes are like watching a PS2 cut scene. Affleck kills it in his very brief appearance and it just makes you further upset with how Warner Bros just wasted his talent all these years. The cameos are kinda fun, the ones that aren't CGI at least, but the story just drags on in my opinion and parts don't really make sense. They could have stuck to The Flashpoint Paradox but choose a different path to almost create their own version of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and it feels forced. The action sequences could have been great but they just get ruined by how bad the CGI is. I know the director said they're suppose to be bad but that just can't be true or if it is true it's because they were given no resources to make it better. Overall I didn't enjoy it and my son who loves anything DC fell asleep so not a ringing endorsement of anything attention grabbing.

It's what you want in a Fast and Furious movie. Two hours of turn your brain off and enjoy. Significantly better than 8 or 9 in my opinion and Jason Momoa gives a phenomenal performance. The complaints that the stunts are unrealistic are from people that just should not watch any of them because of course they're unrealistic. The absolute nonsense is part of the fun and so long as they don't go to space again I'm good with it. The cameos and call backs were fun and much better than some of the forced and just bad cameos they did in the past. Ultimately I think they listened to fans and learned from the mistakes made in the last two installments to give us the movie we want and enjoy. Excited for the next one.
