I thought it was a 7/10 for plot, acting and humor, but will give it a 6/10 for the abysmal CGI.
I was pleasantly surprised as traditionally, DC movies haven't performed all that well so my expectations were a little low, but it seems like they're starting to slowly get a little better as marvel movies start to get a little worse.
There are definitely areas they could have improved upon, of course, firstly, the CGI was just so bad, like the scorpion King levels of bad in some places! The script could have been tightened up a little bit better. It was as if I had to make the jump between a couple of scenes based on my experience with other movies. For instance, when he was talking to his dad in prison, and he quickly transitioned to standing outside of his old house, I thought it was a flashback, or an out-of-body experience or something, but no, he was physically there, seamlessly handed off the phone call from his cell phone to his suit, and it took me a second to figure out what happened. Just a lot of little stuff like that took me out of the movie and forced me to figure out what was happening and re-engage.
Still, happy to have seen it!
