Only watched one and it was the Flash, so, um... yeah...
Yeah, I watched that a while ago, and damn the CGI contractors must have been abused and underpaid or something. Some of the worst CGI I’ve seen in years. Stuff from 15-20 years ago was more convincing. I don’t blame the artists at all, I doubt they would choose to release something like that if they had any real power over their work.
I actually laughed out loud at the Babies in Danger^tm scene. I'm not sure it was supposed to be THAT funny, but the CGI was so awful you couldn't NOT laugh at it.
I think they blew the budget on making the two Ezra's look decent.
But then Blue Beetle comes in with 1/2 the budget and blows the roof off the joint.
Oof. Super Girl was cool though!
There were parts of it that were well done. Having the two Barry's, one older, one younger, was absolutely believable. Later adding Dark Flash also worked. Michael Keaton Batman was fantastic. As you say, Supergirl was excellent.
But the only way to enjoy it is to look past the really awful VFX shots. I give them total props for putting in George Reeves, Adam West, Christopher Reeve, Helen Slater, and freakin' Nicholas Cage fighting a giant spider... but man... the shots were plastic. Some kid could have done a better job with action figures.
Even if you want to argue that the Time Bubble/Cross Universe stuff is supposed to look distorted, that still doesn't excuse the Babies in Danger^TM sequence.
I watched The Flash as my one movie last week too. Oops.
