I had high hopes.
The acting was really good. The various characters were well played.
The story was pretty rough. They didnโt really finish anything.
Hawkman and Canary subplot was weird and inconsistent. Flash (Jay) talked about โwhen I was youngerโ but he looked the same age as the rest of them. โShakespeareโ was forced. Aquaman was really not a helpful subplot.
WW was weird and her backstory wasnโt developed. I thought the payoff would be the old trope if she accepted a ring she would lose her powersโฆbut nothing
Aquaman heads home with his monster and suddenly itโs time to go home Barry.
Then Barry totally kills the bad guy and Superman tries to just leave the mess on the street.
It was a waste of a solid story in favor of trying to force multiple stories without any payoff.
The only saving grace was Iris
Alsoโฆprobably a non issueโฆbut Barryโs costume looked stupid. Why canโt we just leave the random face things out of it and go with the classic face mask?
Keep trying guys. Itโs not a failโฆitโs more of a missed opportunity.
