As one of a handful of people who saw it in theaters on a yuge screen it really wasn't as bad as it looks broken down online into midsecond phone cam taken slices. Other than the final act for obvious reasons, but even then I was basically used to it by the end.
But ultimately that's its problem, movies aren't made for watching in the theater anymore either literally or conceptually, if your flick can't survive that type of hyperscrutiny online then it's DOA. Let alone a movie that already had many other factors working against it.
And having said that I still stand by the opinion that Flash's problem was more PR related than the movie itself. If WB hadn't smugly thought Keaton memberberries and influencer endorsements were enough to distract people from Ezra's bad reputation, if WB had issued more statements or taken more authority over the narrative then people wouldn't have been as pissed about the movie going into it. They set the bar and expectations way too high, which lends itself to increased scrutiny that a normal film release wouldn't be as subject to.

DeLuca actually had the audacity to claim "it's not a PR driven film" at CinemaCon.
