The Flash Movie Review: WTF Happened?

Sad sad sad. After watching today again I reviewed my first review lol. I think the main problem is maybe the wrong director? All the stars actings are pretty bad. Actually I don't like the Ezra Miller as the Flash at all. He is too goofy. Also Ben Affleck's acting as Batman was bad, comparing to his standalone movies. I even don't like the script. Except some action sequences, this movie is a total loss. Sigh.

we need bring back snyder verse

The Flash, set aside Ezra's craziness, IS A MASTERPIECE. You cannot balme him only and the CGI, but it is because , economics is doing a healing.

Probably this movie was the best movie ive seen this year which brought back soooo many good memories of Batman! Michael Keaton RULES!!

Man this movie had so much potential!
The Batman and Supergirl stuff was nice!
...Flash learning what he learned was good too!

its finally out on max and i finally saw it. idk if they touched up the streaming version but i dont get the hate this movie got. it was really fun and funny and i didnt find any of the cg egregious. it wasnt the best but it was good enough.

People watched this without a heart. They wanted new never been seen stuff when it’s already been seen. Winter Soldier been done. Infinity War/End Game…been done. Like the microwave society we live in viewers lost placing themselves in the place of the characters. My mom is gone and I placed myself in the character if I could do anything to change things. As well as Feeling as if you’re not needed anymore with Bruce, or losing a family member Kara. Now the CGI especially Barry running. I would have gotten 3 actual sprinters and starting with Barry blending into the him splintering off at a faster speed(arms and legs) sped up to be more realistic as the background for his speed wasn’t changing fast enough. And the same with the hospital sequence. That bothered me. Slow it down as he’s thinking about the action/move(like grabbing a baby), then speed it up at very high speed as he grabs each target. Also sites like these divulge to many behind the scenes items that take away from the element of surprise. This is happening right now with Deadpool 3. Jean vs Wanda has no element of surprise now. It’s like you’re disclosing the entire movie before release. That goes for Cosmic Wonder and Emergency Awesome. Just facts.

Movie theaters in malls are still a thing

Cant undersfand why Flash bombed. The plot was great, nice cg...why did it bomb 😮

Finally got the chance to see this movie. It was awesome!!

Other than the really crappy CGI, I loved this movie

Gotta say as big of a flash fan as I am this was never gonna live up to my hype for it. That being said I definitely enjoyed it for what it was but of course Michael Keaton was the selling point. My only gripe is the delivery of the let’s get nuts line. It felt so dry and forced. Why could let he have said it when they were fight people rescuing Kara or in a situation that called for it. I get why it was used here but could have been better. Thanks for listening to my rant.

It was a fun movie. And now DC can play...

The worst batman was Clooney followed by Val Kilmer Keaton did a great job Christian bale should have come back for 1 more

Everyone needs to add to this list with replies. Length of time actor portrayed a character. 6 off top my head beats what you said... Rocky, Indiana Jones, Terminator, Luke Skywalker, Maverick, Ethan Hunt(MI)

I still go to the mall to watch my movies. Just saying.

I saw it, I give it an 8. It’s pretty awesome even with the bad CGI.

Too many cooks not enough Superman

It was pointles cancelling Henry Cavill hurt the film.

This is one of the best dc movies - I hated the Synder verse movies they were moody and dark as hell. I fell asleep in them boring ass Superman movies and justice league . This was good and entertaining. CGI was terrible but I’m ok with that as long as we can get this type of writing. If I have to sit for 3 hours it needs to be like this- I left liking Barry even shed a tear on the mom scene. If this is just the beginning of James vision I’m excited to see more. Marvel may need to start watching out

Idk, man of steel was good.. but the concept of superman. How generic and bland his powers are (imo) had turned me off. So seeing supergirl in this was something I wasn’t really looking forward to. But as you say, she was the highlight. I’m intrigued as to how she is portrayed!

OMG Nick Cage

The worst cgi I have seen for a long time. Looks like it was put together on a ps2. The movie has some pacing issues, but really enjoyed it overall. This is coming from a person that isn't a fan of the snyderverse and DC characters in general apart from batman.

The main plot hole is why did evil flash not trap good flash in the chrono bowl first time good flash activated the chrono bowl, and then Evil flash could easily kill good flash without younger barry being there and getting in the way? Coz younger barry is evil flash kryptonite, the ONLY weakness? So to speak..Sure, you can say that young barry is evil flash and therefore he needed to hit good flash into his timeline in order to activate that cycle and then reinforcing itself leading to Evil Barrys inevitable existence. But it doesnt answer why if evil flash was in the chrono bowl for centuries independent of good flash then if his goal was to kill good flash he would obviously conclude that its easier to kill good flash before he informs younger barry how to time travel in the chrono bowl. Somehow Evil flash needed younger barry to be there, when good flash would get killed. If he was there for centuries he would of known the only way for him to die unintentionally is if his younger self was there.Evil Flash actively created his own dimise and his one weakness... Only way to make sence of it is if ALL three barrys needed to survive up until the EXACT point where one barry HAD to die. That could be why evil flash told good flash your "my hero". Because he must of realised that after so long the only way to change the past where his family is alive.which could be his only timeline that mattered to evil flash. But then why would evil flash include younger barry??? So like think of it... I actually think that evil flash realised he could not change the past or future in his desired timeline by time traveling in the chrono bowl. He realised someone else needs to be doing the time traveling in and out of the chrono bowl while evil flash just waits intentionally. It seems he needed another flash to do his "dirty work" So to say by time traveling over and over and over and destroying their own timeline but not evil flashes timeline which he might of viewed as "sacred". He realised he couldnt go back in time so many times coz that wont work, it will just unravel time more and more. But if another flash is the sacrificial lamb so to speak, going in and out of the chrono bowl unwittingly destroying their own time line, then that sacraficial flash could change things to a point then no further. Then evil flash could hit then another barry out of the chrono bowl when that one discovers how to time travel then he needs another flash. And another flash. And so his cycle would continue. That way evil flash never would have to time travel so to speak and affect "his" Personal sacred timeline in his own mind. If you think bout it. The key line is when Evil barry says "you always go back and kill mom".. I think that line says that Evil barry already encountered many other flashes before our " Official" Good barry...Evil Barry would conclude that if he time traveled more his timeline might forver be gone. But by recruiting more and more flashes to be sacrificial lambs they destroy there own timelines. But Evil barrys timeline remains intact... So it seems there should be another barry who is even older then any barry we have seen. That one might have realised a deeper more concrete way of affecting the past and future without using the chrono bowl. Coz it seems the more you use the chrono bowl itself the more time unravels. But if you get other barrys to do the time traveling instead then you could create your own "sacred" Timeline without time traveling or using the chrono bowl. Ultimately i think that was Evil Flash main reason, purpose and goal but he couldnt accomplish it in a elegent way that wouldnt totally unravel time

I’ll be honest with you I have zero faith in James guys new ideas for Warner Bros. DC movies James Gunn seems like an asshole to me. He’s a little piece of shit. He had a great superman and shit on them for what some new punk from what I see your pics are scrawny little shit and you had a well-built perfect superman, that you just shit on. Fuck you James Gunn I’m just glad I Star Wars is being fixed so in the future, it will be worth my money to go see

ZSJL references

● The Flying Fox appears in The Flash. It was destroyed in the theatrical version but only crashed in ZSJL and was fixed by cyborg.

● When Barry enters the speedforce he sees memories from past events. Barry knocks into Aquaman who points at him with his finger 👉 during the fight with superman is a scene from ZSJL not the theatrical cut.

● Iris West tells Barry didn't we running into each other a few years ago.

● Barry is talking about going back in time to save his parents, or even Bruce’s parents. Batfleck says something like “This isn’t like going back in time for a few seconds like at Pozharnov". Battle of Pozharnov is where they fought Steppenwolf.

Saw Flash last night. The original trailer almost made me wet my self, and the movie took it to the next level. As an older fan, one who collected comics as a kid in the 80s, I saw all of the original movies, so the Batman comeback was so, so satisfying. The laughing bag - holy smokes, what fun. The multiverse appearances of other Supermen, that was fun, especially the last one. :)

My only slight negative, is one that also I felt was an issue with Shazam, and that is the comedy at times. Marvel has seemed to master the comedic fun in movies like Guardians, etc. but DC seem to be struggling recently. The comedy tends more to make the characters look like a doofus. In the latest Shazam, he ends up looking like a total almost mindless goofball, unlike the rest of his family. He's approaching 18 but seems clueless, more like a ten year old. They just seems to hurt the character too much with their attempts at comedy. Some of that came thru in this Flash movie, and while mainly affecting the alternate Barry, it just brought the whole character down a bit. It's just a goofy approach to comedy that is not as good as it could be. I hope James Gunn can right the ship some in that area.

Other than that little irritant, the movie was a blast.

It had its flaws But I loved it especially Batman scenes were a real trip !

Wow this movie was way better than i expected Keaton carried

Just saw the movie... hmmm, not sure how I feel about it. CG was a bit amateurish in some scenes. And ACT 1 feels different than Act2/3, like it was a separate writer... 🤔. Overall it was a good movie, especially Michael Keaton and Supergirl 👍

Holy shit that was an epic movie!! So much going on but this cut is pretty damn good!

They ripped the Jonathan Kent Superboy uniform for supergirl but I can't be mad cuz it looks good.

I had to come back and say I think The Flash is the best superhero movie in years, and I'm a Marvel cult member. Even that stupid, so stupid, alternate Superman at the end couldn't ruin the movie for me. It's definitely a big screen movie.

Just watched the movie, all the hype the movie has, it lived on. Really liked micheal keaton’s batmsn and supergirl. Please watch in theatres all the DC fans would love the movie. 🙃🙃🙃

My favorite super heroe of al the time, at least whole childhood finally has a movie, I don't think there's NOBODY in this planet who's happier then me to hear very good things about the movie, I can't wait for tomorrow!

🎉⚡✨🤝🏆👍🌎Yet I want to see in the movie the Batman to left the band of the bats mashin to left the liquid quiminc with camera and your control for to destroed yours oponets⚡✨👍

Batman was fantastic in this film 🍿

the dog is a speedster.

Enjoyed it

Really enjoyed it, actually suprised me quite a bit, this was not the movie I expected, the ending scenes really surprised me.

The one big flaw of the movie was the cgi, which at times is on point and at other points is dogshit.

Just saw it,loved it but i still hate the way he runs

I just saw the movie. I’m interested on your full review because I have my thoughts on it (some good, some meh)…

At keaton’s current age, he really should have worn his prototype batman beyond suit. It’s a wasted opportunity that could have spun off into the batman beyond franchise.

It was a good movie but the cgi was a bit off at times

I wanna see them recast Christian Bale as Batman

I heard Michael Keaton was in it as Batman...Oh shit! Sorry, spoiler. lol

What are you talking about “when people still went to malls to watch movies?” Everyone still does that
