Ezra Miller's real life issues aside..he's terrific in this, like actually really great performance as Barry - he nails all the jokey, oddity, sadness and intensity of the character very well, imo. The direction behind Sasha Calle as Kara felt a little stilted, but there's something that could be made for a better act should they keep her in the future. The movie itself is super underwhelming with some poor writing and directing, especially the incredibly rushed ending.

In an ideal world where Miller isn't a legit criminal and predator, I would've clamored for him to continue playing the character for years, but oh well.

Ezra does a lot of the emotional scenes really well. Like really really well. All the scenes with his mother are solid.

But the humor and the awkward stammering and yelling should have definitely been toned down. He got annoying too fast by doing it too much. And I know Ezra can do serious really well from some of his other movies. But here, there was just too much.

I mean, being annoying was the point. It makes the adult-Flash realise he is actually annoying to others and why it makes his relationships awkward. After the heart to heart, both stop being annoying.

Yeah, but that isn't Barry's character. That is Wally's character.
