The Flash is an awful movie. I watched it this past weekend and I couldn't believe how generic it was. The whole movie is cameos and fan service with no payoff. It's as if the movie exists just so that the producers can say, "Hey remember these old characters you used to love? Here's a scene with them! Why are they here? I dunno, just pay us money!"
I usually hate people who criticize CGI just because it wasn't filmed for real, but the CGI in the Flash is objectively bad. Apparently the VFX team barely had time to get the shots out the door and it shows. At the beginning of the movie, there's a shot of Ezra Miller eating a candy bar in slow mo and his head looks like an enlarged bobblehead compared to the rest of his body.
I keep hoping that the guys running DCEU will turn things around, but the Flash broke me like Bane breaking Batman's back and then threw me down the pit, except I don't even want to climb back out at this point.
