The film is tolerable, even not bad. There is good visual, there is good humor, there are bright characters and good actors. But there are problems. Serious.
First, the plot of the film. Stories about time travel have always been a problem even for very talented authors, and here in general - as if somewhat primitive, but with attempts to talk it out. Some plot twists are quite cardboard.
Second, the mood of the film. It's completely unstable, the film swings from frank comedy to superhero drama. There are good jokes, yes. But there's a fierce kringe. And the drama is very tortured in some places.
And third, visual. The picture in the film is beautiful and juicy, the authors do not hesitate to bright colors and bold decisions using a huge amount of graphon. That's only the graphon percent is 70 frankly underdone. There's a lot of digital people in the movie - and they're poorly made by almost everything. Not horror-horror, but downright bad for a modern 200 millionth blockbuster, cuts the eye.
Tellingly, all three points add up to a perfect shieldstorm clearly at the beginning of the film, in a scene with a crumbling hospital. The insanity of what is happening, the poorly painted disaster, the horribly painted rescuers, the idiocy of some moments - the scene evokes a natural Spanish shame. If you remember those scenes with Mercury from Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, it becomes even more awkward. But, in fairness, this is the lowest point of the film, it will not be so bad, only up. Whoever can do this will be watching the movie.
The key characters are two Flash and an old Batman (hopefully not spoilers and the trailer was seen by everyone). The flash is original - still the same frightened and awkward, but more Snyder than Whedon. The alternative flash at first specifically infuriates with its behavior, but this is a conscious artistic technique, and it works. In both cases, Ezra Miller does quite well (as well as the special effects masters, they combine well). Batman Keaton is great, the character was treated with all respect, it turned out to be something more than just a fan service.
The others? Supermansha - normal, but no more (but thanks to her in the film there is a little quality "cranberries"). Dad Flash is played by another actor, which is a shame, I like Billy Crudup. Batfleck is good, albeit in a strange costume, but it is already more in terms of fan service. Zod and Faora-Ul - I was very happy to see them, but their functions in the plot are very secondary, and it is noticeable how much Michael Shannon hacked into this prank.
And then we are already entering the territory of pure fan service.
Alfred and Diana — that is understandable, after all, there should be a connection with the rest of the DCEU. There's Aquaman, too, but it's just a stupid post-credits scene (plus an equally wacky scene with his dad).
But there's something beautiful! There are some Superman Christopher Reeve and Supergirl from the same era. And what struck me was that there was Superman performed by Nicholas the Unbearable Talented Nephew! Yes, they are in one small scene, yes, they are painted by the Counton, yes, it does not mean anything - but how cool it is.
Well, there is a snack Bruce Wayne performed by George Clooney.
There's also clearly something that's recognizable to comic book connoisseurs, but I'm not one of them, so I didn't count it.
And, for some reason, there is a cameo by Nikolai Coster-Waldau in the role of a passer-by, but I do not know why it is, probably, for friendship. What else is it? Music? Well, there is, nothing is remembered. Unless Batman Keaton gets the right Elfman soundtrack at the key moments. In short, tolerable, there are bright moments for which it is worth watching, and in general there was no feeling that the film is more than two hours, because it goes cheerfully.
