You wanna get nuts? See a different movie.

Warning: Spoilers
I decided, against my better judgement, to see this movie. Luckily, I have a monthly movie pass to basically see for free, and it was only $7 for my friend.

I would've been totally disappointed had I spent more than the service fee for my ticket and $7 for my friend.

This movie just doesn't do it. The story was kind of there, but executed so poorly.

The kid in me wasn't even THAT excited for Keaton back as Batman. THAT was a DC movie. The magic of that first Keaton movie surpasses this by miles. Back when actual people did actual stunts and had to build actual sets and props.

This was just a CGI nightmare. CGI fighting scenes that made the characters look cartooninsh. Especially, Super Girl. She was so stiff for her fighting scenes and it just looked so bad. Ezra Miller, when standing next to Ezra Miller had a computer generated face while the other was the actual Ezra and made the CGI mustache covering of Superman's lip look perfect in comparison. The acting abilities of both The Flash and Super Girl were just atrocious. I don't think either of them has any real skill in acting and making me believe they are the character they portray.

Keaton as Batman, again, should've been an epic event, but even HE couldn't save this movie from being so poorly made.

SPOILERS: When time kept going back, they showed different characters from different DC universes of older movies that we remember. Even from one that never released. It was cool, but at the same time, it was so egregious because it was all done in CGI and didn't use actual footage of the heroes from the past...which made no sense since one was in black & white.

The ending also made little sense and the after credits scene was nothing. Didn't give any invite to what May come. It wasn't anything more than just to have an extra scene that means absolutely nothing...much like this movie.
