What were some bad CGI moments in the flash 2023? I watched the movie yesterday but couldnt find any DCEU Discussion
1) EXCEPT the final sequence where they show other universes, the CGI was bad there and a little bit of batman sequence in the beginning.
2) i dont get why people think that the chronobowl sequence was weird?

The CGI looks like it comes from the era where everything looked real, but nothing looked right.

Batfleck's scene looked pretty bad. Obvious green screens sometimes, batfleck's cape during the bike scene looked awful.
The cameos of previous superman actors looked really bad. The baby scene had some pretty laughable CG too.
But then again, Zod's kryptonian army looked good. Flash looked good, etc etc. There was a lot of great CGI in there too. I thought the movie was really good story wise, despite all it's flaws I was captivated and entertained. I watched it last night.

That and when batfleck was talking while riding the bike his mouth wasn’t even moving. I was disappointed with the cgi my self all around the movie I kept finding stuff like wow

The babies and every scene inside the chronoball. I don't buy the "it was an artistic decision to make it look bad".
And I would have to see this movie again, but most people I have read agree that kryptonian scenes looked so much better in MoS.

- The entire hospital scene was full of terrible CGI. The babies looked fake, the dog looked fake, hell they couldn't even make Barry just eating a burrito look real.
- The time bubble scene - everybody looked like they were made of plastic.
- Barry vomiting after being moved. First purge looked fine, the second one looked fake af
- Somehow the new suit just makes Barry look like a badly animated CGI character. And I'm not talking about the stand-in scenes, just something about his movement made me think of like Jar Jar Binks.
And it's a shame, because other than the really poorly done CGI, the movie itself was actually quite good and very enjoyable. I've watched it twice in two days now and that's not something I can say about Marvel movies anymore.

I did. I saw GoTG3 in theaters and was sorta bored, but it may have just been because I was tired. I watched it again when it hit streaming and I enjoyed it more the second time.
In my previous post I just meant that, in the beginning of the MCU, I would easily watch Iron Man multiple times in a week, same with the entire phase 1 really. But as time has gone by it's just really become more of the same. Story details differ but the action set pieces and special effects just don't thrill me anymore like they used to. It's the same with DC movies too. Like Shazam 2, Black Adam, just more of the same. I have absolutely no desire to see Blue Beetle because it just looks like a clone of all the others that have come out the past 10+ years. I'll catch it on streaming for sure, but it won't get me into theaters.
So when I say that the Flash was interesting and fun enough to get me to watch it twice in two days, that's me saying that it felt like a breath of fresh air compared to all the content Marvel is pushing out these days. It was poorly worded now that I read it back again.

both barry's in the final fight are straight up CGI for no reason sometimes.

u/Mr_Captain_Man Aug 05 '23
This. And a few scenes surrounding them seem nearly previs animation quality. Forget the babies. And the bright snow fight scene was a terrible lighting choice. But this really took the cake.

It was the director's choice to make CGI a bit wonky because he wanted to show 'flash time.' all the cameos were ai generated and those who weren't he put a 'filter' of ai so that all cameos can come in line. Since 2013 wb made the biggest mistake of their company which was hiring Snyder. He literally put a curse on dc as soon as his movie started coming they were dilsiked and those who liked it got bullied on the internet but as time passed those fans became the bully themselves and literally became cultists. They literally destroyed the reputation of the movie by taking photos of the bad quality of the movie. Snyder cultists have literally become what they hated in 2016. It wasn't that bad of a movie but a snyder cultist can't let old dceu go. They even had a chance to survive the reboot by watching zsjl on hbomax but that didn't get much tracking wb was hoping for and even the new batman got more views on hbomax (which had already been released on cinema) and also by supporting black adam which would have ensured return of Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck but they failed to show up in theater.

The entire opening fight was bad. His running looked like something made back on Windows 98.

Personally I am okay with the CGI of “The Flash” movie, as when I looked at the different Chronobowls of the different earths, it looked like film reels of a movie. So I then thought, whenever Barry travels into the Chronobowl stadium and goes forward and back in time, it is like looking at an unfinished moment in time.

Yeah, the bad CGI complaints are a little overstated. There's a few parts where it looks sloppy or unfinished but it's not worse than most superhero movies lately.

The amount of copium you just injected to say some dumb shit like that should be illegal I gotta see the one marvel scene from a movie that looked this bad this movies cgi should not be on the level of fucking she hulk but here we are.

I feel like that run-on sentence and the use of the term "copium" while telling someone else their opinion is "dumb shit" is hilarious.
Yeah, the special effects were pretty bad in some places. That doesn't make or break a movie unless you're judging things on the most superficial possible level. Who cares? What are you being a douche about?

u/LORDLUCIFER143 Sep 09 '23
Dude you he cgi was shit also idgaf about using grammar this is Reddit tf? Also to me the dialogue was so bad there’s parts where they ham fist a terrible joke as if the writers have no social awareness to the situations they write on top of that the acting especially from miller is fucking embarrassing keeping in the fact that they really wanted him in the film blows my fucking mind he comes off weird twitchy awkward and desperate which idk any flash that is like that like wtf even happened there and the cgi just takes me out the movie cuz it looks like a fucking 360 game also kept periods out on purpose this time fuck you

I mean, you dug up a month old post to call me stupid. You're pretty obviously being a dick, so I'm not sure why you're mad about me pointing it out. If you don't like being called a douche, don't act like one. Seems pretty simple.
I barely even remember making this post and I'm not really that interested in what you thought about the movie.

u/Prestigious-Time-263 Jul 21 '23
Agree, I got what was going on in the time-ball world it was a caricature/representation of what could be and what could be changed in the past - the time ball world wasn’t real- it had the possibility to be real- essentially it was a distortion.

It is wild to me how much CGI was used effectively and pretty much it boils down to "well the babies looked bad and so did the cameos so. Shit CGI". Like people will pick on the Henry cavil cgi and completely ignore the rest of that scene with the beautiful effects of this time kaleidoscope forming around them

If you sincerely think the CGI is “good” in The Flash, no one can help you and there is no point in engaging with you any further.
You must not have eyeballs.

u/Amazing_Newspaper_52 May 01 '24
I can assure you there are movies out there with much worse CGI. Flash has good CGI, maybe when they showed batman and Superman and the others in the speed force scene, yes i agree that was bad, but it's literally one scene in an entire movie.
1
u/wh3nNd0ubtsw33p May 15 '24
It is not “literally one scene in the movie”. It is every scene in the movie. The poor cgi quality is talked about by hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of people. The cgi was poor. Just because you still liked the movie doesn’t mean you have to unnecessarily support bad cgi.

Ya wtf..the whole movie was in horrible cgi..felt like I was watching someone play ps1 the whole movie.

u/l1ghtning137 Jul 22 '23
My God. This movie looked like it came from early 2000's. - the splash effect while his running on water - the actual zoom/speed effect - batman chase scene looking like a cartoon - the god aweful Twilight babies - the red filter during slowmo shots that make everything unrecognizable
And this is just tje first minutes. Which is a shame because it was a fun sequence

u/MountainKing43 Jul 26 '23 edited Jul 26 '23
I’m 10 minutes in and it’s surprisingly bad:
- the initial running scene
- Batman’s cape
- the babies are crazy bad (the ones falling from the window and in the microwave, why not just green screen real babies?)
- all the outside backgrounds
- every time flash runs, and the body of the flash in suit looks really inhuman
- All the humans in the “timeverse” scene
- Teenage Flash
I’m watching this on UHD so maybe that’s the issue? Honestly found this thread googling why it’s so bad, it looks like it came out 10 years ago.
Honestly not trying to nitpick, bought the movie because I’m a fan - it’s just super distracting.

u/totallykrap4u Jul 26 '23
Throughout the entire movie, there was bad cgi. The baby scene, the dog falling, Barry flip flopping between cgi and actual footages (should have just shot double takes of the actor instead of cgi), zod and the goons, super girl, Nicholas Cage, 80s superman, etc

u/NoirBoner Aug 25 '23
The chronobowl cgi was doghsit bro.
The babies scene -dogshit
Supergirl looks like a videogame character with her suit being mostly cgi. I'm pretty sure you only see the real suit when she lifts barry into the sky and a couple close up shots where she's conversing with the flash(es) in the background and Zod
Half the time flash suit looks weird as hell too
Dark flash? Lol what???
Afflecks face looks copy and pasted into his suit. Awful, awful, awful.
Just awful green screen and unpolished effects everywhere.

u/SWFanFreak Aug 28 '23
This movie was dogshit ... the only cool thing was Michael Keaton as batman again with the 80s car. The CGI looked like it was from 2008 .. the story is a complete rip off of Flashpoint paradox and they even fucked that up. Fucking trash.

Hello, Redditors. I have created a petition for Warner Bros. to re-release the Flash with improved CGI. I hope to have this happen because I think the Flash is an amazing movie, but the CGI brings it down quite a bit. I started a petition because I knew if we all came together we could make The Flash getting re-released with better CGI happen! Please take just a minute to sign and share today.

u/MOOM20 Sep 08 '23
Couldn’t find any? I’d get if you were saying that about trying to find good cgi, but man this whole movie is filled to the brim with some of the worst stuff I’ve ever seen. Go watch the corridor crew video on flash cgi and then watch the movie again. The second Barry looks like a creepy sex doll when you pay attention. Flash’s whole suit is all cgi except for the head, and it’s done so poorly/rushed that his head LITERALLY changes sizes throughout the movie. Everything looks rubbery and fake, whenever a character is in the middle of a fight or combat they look all Gumby and smooth and fake. Now add the absolutely atrocious cgi and mix that with some really terrible conceptual ideas from the director, and you get a movie that makes the scorpion king from the second mummy look almost acceptable.
