He has made a name for himself within the industry as a trustworthy journalist whose sole focus is on these movies.

And this time around, it was The Flash, which he was particularly not very fond of.
Brandon Davis Reveals Major Flaws in DCU’s The Flash
Brandon Davis has been quite an influential person in Hollywood, even more since MCU and DCU rose to prominent places in the industry as it was clearly his area of expertise. Every time an event occurs, Davis would most like to have a one-on-one interview with the associated celebrity, and in doing so, he has gained quite a fan following over the years. Moreover, due to his high social media presence, Brandon Davis frequently converses with his fans and releases important news or tabloid about any big-screen movie, and this time around it was DCU’s The Flash.
I saw an “unfinished” cut of #TheFlash three months before it released. I thought the VFX were the “unfinished” part. Knowing they didn’t change, seemingly at all, is definitely rough. Most of the VFX just didn’t look good, at all. https://t.co/RuUCUokZIT

Remember when they were saying it was the best comicbook movie of all time 🤭😅🤣

I didn’t think the CGI was overly rough compared to other DC films. Clearly some of it was intentional and cheap. However the story itself was a lot. Seemed like a missed opportunity or past thought. This movie came a few years too late.

Movie was highly disappointing, especially when compared to its animated counterpart. I get James Gunn had to praise this movie but anyone else who said it’s great had to have been paid.

This is EXACTLY what I predicted happened.
Early viewers/praise were lead to infer the cameos were the “unfinished” FX.
This feels grossly dishonest on the studios part, IMO.

Brandon Davis rose to prominence, not because of his early access to the news but because of providing people with critical reviews, both good and bad. Although this time around, fans were quite disappointed with his remark about the movie, many have shared his views about The Flash having poor and unfinished VFX. As always, Brandon Davis shared his views on Twitter and received both positive and negative reviews about his tweet and even though he agrees that The Flash was exceptionally good, he just wouldn’t watch it a second time due to the poor VFX.
DCU Stumbles at the Box Office With The Flash
The last 5 years have not been fruitful for the DC franchise as they have suffered some major backlashes from both the fans and the media. Even though DC’s past is filled with many setbacks 2023 was supposed to be a new beginning for the franchise with multiple new additions to the superhero community. But as it turns out, 2023 is no different from its previous years as both DCU releases failed at the box office. It has been a disappointing weekend for the fans as The Flash struggles to find a strong foothold on the box office collection.

The movie had a rather weak beginning, only earning a bit over $55 million at the box office on its opening weekend. Till now, the movie has earned a little bit over 172.2 million dollars at the box office with a massive budget of $200 million, moreover, the budget had to be increased due to all the delays caused by the pandemic and lockdowns. Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) also earned a similar amount, 133.7 million dollars with a budget of $125 million.
