Yeah, the demand for CGI has exploded the last few years, you see the same sort of thing with the Marvel films and TV series. Fast X had some bad 90s level CGI at times as well.Apparently its meant to affect almost any scene where its meant to be from his POV. Even the cameo from Cage was shot and he was there in person but in the movie it looks odd.
More talk on the cg here from someone who claims to have worked on the movie. Sounds like the videogame industry, people working insane hours including weekends.
The Flash VFX Artist: If It Looks Like It Was Made in a Week, It Was
Zach Mulligan, a VFX artist who worked on The Flash, explained the reasons behind the poor CGI in The Flash.www.superherohype.com
Should really give the VFX artists some market power but they still seem massively **** on by the companies. Wouldn’t be so bad if they were raking it in doing weekends etc, but doesn’t look like it’s the case. Stories of them even being locked in till the jobs done at some place a year or to ago.

There's way too much CGI in modern films. Totally ruins them if you ask me.
I think the flash is bombing largely due to the unsavoury antics of Ezra Miller though.

Not to mention its seems to be a pointless movie as the DCU is moving in another direction with this being the last grunt of the old ensemble for the most part.
They probably missed a trick not continuing on from Snyders Justice league, the world portrayed at the end of that really peaked peoples interest, yet apparently the 'powers that be' know best and would prefer to do their own thing. Including re-hiring Cavill and firing him in the space of a few weeks.
Yeah but I thought Gumn wanted DC to have a new direction. Complete break from Snyderverse.

Agreed. Time flew by. When it ended, i thought we were only halfway through. Surprised how good Ezra's acting was. Good balance of humour and seriousness.
although i am confused why he didn't clock he was yet in another universe when his dad was cleared in court? He'd seen the tape before!
Yep, same score and thoughts i'd give it too!

The east wing collapse CGI was entirely crap, but the rest was really good and the script was on point. Liked it a lot otherwise.
Homelander style which would make sense as she didn't hold back nor did she care about "humans"Apparently there were some R rated scenes with her taking out her captors that got cut, would have been interesting to see, maybe a few of them got fried with laser vision?

73% second week box office drop which is virtually "Morbius" levels of drop - I'm just not seeing the public desire building for this enough to make it break even ($210m so far vs $400-500m needed) let alone be a big hit, especially now that word of mouth has gotten around that Keaton's Batman (a big selling point) isn't in this as much as the trailer would suggest which looks to have tanked the film after an OK-ish 1st week -

The movie had a ton of hype and in standard DC form failed to live up to it. Wasn't this billed as the greatest superhero movie to date in a lot of the blurbs? At most IMO it was ok but they really went full moron on the stupid amount of jokes 99% of which failed to hit. The screening i was at that had about 20 people were basically silent throughout the movie.

The Guardian covered this story quite well and the original hype stems from a preview shown at the Las Vegas’ CinemaCon which had lucky "viewers" (social media insiders with early access - what a surprise) calling it "the greatest superhero movie" etc -
‘One of the best superhero movies ever’: can The Flash live up to the Twitter hype?
While Marvel’s noisy blockbusters have reshaped cinema, DC has mostly churned out turgid epics that succeed only in sending you to sleep. Will Ezra Miller’s high-speed hero offer anything new?
www.theguardian.com
The OG Tweet, the "pre-release" replies are perfect when viewed with hindsight!
The Guardian then followed with their own 2/5 review - "despite some diverting touches, Miller’s smirking, gurning, mugging doppelganger performance is a trial"
The Flash review – Ezra Miller’s doppelganger-superhero is a gurning, smirking mess
Some entertaining moments can’t hide the fact that this latest product of the DC Comics universe doesn’t exactly fly past
