Yeah...to sum it up succinctly...what a mess. It pretty much fell into every trap that everyone was initially worried about.
Too much going on, too many characters, sacrifice of plot and story for 'member berries' and Miller just couldnt carry it.
It was a smart idea to involve Keaton, he was easily the best part of the film, but he just wasnt enough. The whole thing was a long, plodding, colossal mess.
Miller is fine in small doses but he gets annoying real fast when he is your anchor character and actor and even then...on top of all of that he's saddled with poor writing and a pretty poorly executed story.
Further...DC just cant find their 'sweet spot.' Its either constant lame jokes all the time or dark, grim and brooding all the time, there is no balance and it takes you out of the story.
I said it about Batman vs. Superman, I said it about Justice League, but DC just takes Prime Source Material and just wipes their ass with it.
That....was awful.
So, where to rank it? I think it was still better than 'Wakanda Forever' and maybe better or on par with 'Quantumania?' but...not high praise.
The Flash sucked. Straight up.
