That audience score is way too high. That movie was dog water and the CGI looked terrible. Flashpoint Paradox did the story way better.
The Bruce Wayne cameo at then end was cute.

“Today, I don’t know anyone. I’m told, ‘Manohla Dargis, she’s excellent.’ But when I ask what are the three movies she loved and the three she hated in the last few years, no one can answer me. Because they don’t care!”
Paul Schrader, the American screenwriter and film director also talked about how audiences have become dumber.
“The studios didn’t invent Rotten Tomatoes, and most of them don’t like it. But the system is broken. Audiences are dumber. Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to. Rotten Tomatoes is something the studios can game. So they do.”
The 2023 Ezra Miller movie received a rating of 6.8/10 on IMDB and a critic score of 63% on Rotten Tomatoes.The Flashis currently available to stream on Max in the U.S.
