Corrected entry: When God tells Bruce the two rules he says Bruce can't tell anyone he's "God" and he can't "mess with free will" but by telling Bruce himself what he can't do just by explaining the rules God himself is messing with Bruce's free will. So by God's own reasoning he's breaking his own rules.

Correction: If your parents tell you to do your homework, it's not violating your free will, because you still make the choice of whether or not you do as you're told. If they use supernatural powers to mind control you and literally force you to do it, now they've violated your free will.

Corrected entry: When Bruce and God are on Mount Everest, God says "You've had my powers for a little over a week now...". Not only was Bruce only supposed to have the powers for one week anyway, but it is barely halfway through the film.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce transforms his beat-up car, two boys are seen skateboarding in that direction. They are seen staring in awe at the car before the car actually changes. (00:45:10)
Correction: The first time you see the boys, Bruce is already in his car. He changed the car right as he got in the car (notice the interior). That's why when they asked if it was his car, he said sarcastically "It gets me from A to B." The car was already a Saleen.
Nope. When the boys roll up, we are still seeing an exterior shot of the car, with the car unchanged, and the boys amazed.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce is seducing Grace, right in the shot of her collapsing onto the floor in the bathroom, you can see she knocks the toilet paper roll off the rack as she hits the floor. When the shot shows her standing in the bathroom doorway with her hair all messed up, the toilet paper roll is now back onto the rack. (00:44:20)
Correction: After Grace falls to the floor, the pangs of passion subside enough for her to get to her feet and come to the door. We do not see this, as the camera is only on Bruce (in the bedroom). It is not impossible that as she managed to compose herself enough to get up, she picked up the toilet paper roll and put it back. Many people do little tidying things like this absent-mindedly, while they are thinking about other things.
Perhaps, but she didn't clean up the other stuff she knocked off the shelf, and really, given that she's just had the greatest orgasm of her life, and is about to go have sex, how much do you really think she'd care about fixing it?

Corrected entry: When all the cars move out of the way for Bruce's car the traffic lights are blinking very quickly.
Correction: This is part of the parting of the traffic. The lights change to green all the way down for Bruce's Saleen while the cars are turned to the side of the road. Bruce made them change for him.
They don't change to green though. They continue to flash amber the entire time, never once turning green. What's more, the speeding up is ONLY when the cars move, and when Bruce speeds off, going back to normal in between. It's a mistake.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bruce is going to do his first stint as anchor on the Monday 6:00 news, the control room is seen celebrating the Sabres winning the Stanley Cup. The news director says "The Sabres JUST won the Stanley Cup". When is the last time a Stanley Cup finals game ended at 6:00 PM on a Monday night?

Correction: The rules are for Bruce, not God. But the free will thing could just be a limitation of God's powers, not a "rule". If I tell you that you can't lift a mountain, I'm not messing with your free will, just stating a fact. And/or just telling Bruce he can't tell anyone he's God isn't about free will, simply an "actions have consequences" thing. If he breaks the rules he'd lose his powers or similar. I mean all of us have free will, but if we exercise that in a harmful way then we go to jail or similar. That's not "messing with our free will", just natural limitations.
