The Flash

This was good. Well done

10/10
All Gold
THE FLASH⚡
is the thirteenth entry
into the DCEU
(DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE)
and after
AQUAMAN 2
(AQUAMAN AND THE LOST
KINGDOM December 20th 2023).
The DCEU will be retired and rebooted.

After the DCEU* was scrapped in
late 2022, James Gunn has gone
on record and stated that this film,
along with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
(2023), will serve as a soft reboot to the
DC franchise, which will now be known as the
"DCU" (DC Universe). Any other
"DC films/shows"
that occur outside this new timeline
will now belong to a universe called
"DC Elseworlds".
The DCU will be led
by Gunn personally.
So with that being said was
THE FLASH 2023
(Loosely based on
The Flashpoint
(Paradox) story adaption)
A Worthy Finale for
DC to call it a day on
Their DCEU.
Well I have to say after multiple
views and being
"Always That Marvel Guy"
and with the epic fail
in the box office DC
has been for 10yrs straight
I actually really enjoyed this
movie and thought It told a
really good Multiverse story.
I had no expectations at all
for this movie especially given
the real life shit Ezra Miller*
is pulling month after month
(absolute PR nightmare
for WB (Warner Brothers))
but that aside and as
awkward and annoying
and as exhausting as Ezra is
the dual role in this movie
was actually some class acting
and absolutely felt like two
Completely different actors,
I hate to say it but Kudos
to Ezra and this was literally
The best Ezra has pulled this
role off to date, without a doubt.
I thought the VFX were
Awesome, the story was
Wholesome and very heartfelt
and the action was
Fcuking Amazing.
speaking of
Fcuking Amazing.
Everyone is thrilled over
The Batman's galore
and I myself was overjoyed to
have my Batman back
Michael Keaton 71 years old
nearly 34yrs after he first
became the greatest Detective
the world has ever known in
(Batman 1989
BatmanReturns1992)
But for me the highlight of
this movie who
stole the show was
Newcomer
"Sasha Calle-Kara Zor-El"
aka SUPERGIRL.
Holy-Shit now that's how you
do it, she knocked it
Clean out the Ball Park
she's definitely my second
favourite in the role
with Helen being my first.
Sasha was just phenomenal
with a truly Sensational
performance and I really
hope Gunn is smart about
this and has a place for Sasha
in his rebooted DCU and not
just have her as a One and Done,
with an Outstanding performance
like that she deserves better and
a few Solo movies down the line
to call her own.
as a Multiverse story this movie was
the gift that kept on giving and
with more cameos than you can
flap your Cape at and say the
magic word Shazam⚡
you will love them and be
shocked by others,
Bravo DC you got me.
for me the humour landed
and was in all the appropriate
places and when the time came
this movie got me right in the
feels. Surprisingly I don't have
much to bitch about given it's
DC and the things that could
have been done better I'm going
to leave out and Let DC have this
one and leave this universe
with dignity as Gunn prepares
to come back with a Bigger and
Better DC-Universe than anything
we have seen in it's 10 year
lifespan.
(apparently).

I really thought I will hate this movie.Ezra Miller did a lot of shady things.I would never imagine I will love this movie so much.I mean my mind blown,the music,the characters,Supergirl!!!! No woke nonsense,no "im feminist look at me",just pure superhero stuff like in the old times.People complain about the cgi,but I'm ok with that.If we want more complex DC stories to come to cinema,we need root for any movie that's happens.Dc stories are great and interesting,and have depths.I need more Batman Animated tv show style movies and less Thor sharing powers randomly with kids.The last part the movie seriously blown my head off haha.Never thought I will see Keaton as Batman on the screen but gosh it was a treat!
Ps: Imax really worth it,watch that way if you can. Oh the running scenes wow wow wow
Spoiler: Nic Cage gosh hahahaha, also loved the story got more complex I guess that was a creative choice,but I not mind.My bf is huge Flash fan ofc he would love the tv show version so I hoped to see a cameo of him,but maybe in the future! Also og Batman and Superman <3 But not sure morally it right to do it,tho.

Just finished watching in IMax and what a entertaining, enjoyable and fan fodder feeder of a film!

Ezra certainly played this part with passion and the whole movie kept at a steady pace that the right chemistry of fun, action and the odd "yes" moment ;)

I will certainly go and do a rewatch and order the steelbook.

Oh man, was this incredible. Warner Bros. finally managed to capture magic in a bottle with this movie. A tad unfortunately, we are right at the end of DCEU as we know it. As problematic as Ezra Miller is IRL, one cannot deny his talent on-screen. Michael Keaton and the rest of the cast are absolutely on their A-game too. Notwithstanding some less than stellar dialogue that is not going to fetch any Oscars, the movie finally, FINALLY, satiates the starving DC fan who has yet to see their superheroes represented well in a screen that is full to the brim with them. I hope Gunn can take this momentum and chart a successful path forward.

Note: Review from fan-screening on May 22, 2023. Movie screened may not be the final version.

i don't care about Ezra Miller, this movie was good. I enjoyed it. I don't watch news or keep track of what the shit actor are doing.
I cried , I laughed and I was nostalgic.
I even watched twice.

Kara was underused ,I must say that. she intrigued me since the trailer came out,but unfortunately was not so much in the movie.

Batman was amazing... that's like the Batman I always imagined. classic with batarangs and the claw. like the Arkham games. yes, he has tech , that's his thing,but I like old tech... it's not too much and he just Beats the hell of those guys like are nothing.

the scene where Barry needs to "say goodbye" to his mother that stands right in front of him... looking in his eyes... it's just heartbreaking. he literally need to kill his mom after he saved her

you can't say that scene was bad...
someone I know said that Barry (teen) was so annoying because he was hiperactive. wtf ,bro!
1. it's the flash
2. it's a freaking teenager that got power out of knowhere
3. he had a good life. no trauma
what the do you expect? does everybody needs to be Batman?
I don't hate Batman. I love Batman,but really. why wouldn't you love some diversity?
for me was very good.

I don't know why there are so many negative comments. This movie was hilarious. Not like non-stop, but like the old Flash comic books hilarious. Flash was always the "dumb" guy who managed to fix everything even when he screwed it up. This stays really true to form of those old comic books.

it was entertaining. It's not the serious storyline of most the DC movies, but again Flash.

After extreme early praise and mixed release praise, I had no idea what to expect. I am not a huge fan of the DCEU films, and I haven't watched any of the Flash show to know more of his backstory. With this being said, I REALLY enjoyed this. It was a good time, great effects, nice humor, over the top action, and a quality story to follow. The caveat: it came out within 45 days of the even better Guardians 3 and Spider-Verse 2. Hard to compete with those, but it is a quality superhero outing nonetheless.

Rating: 4.5/5 - 90% - Highly Recommend

9/10
TheFlashMovie  was schway!!!!
It would have been better, if we got to see Grant Gustin.

I fear I may be turning into some sort of DC fanboy because... I thought this was great.

Like with 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods', I was not expecting much from these DCEU films as I only decided to watch them so I could catch up on this universe before the 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' finale next month. I guess I was subconsciously anticipating these to be as flat as a pancake due to the suits upstairs focusing on the upcoming DCU. Yet, I've had a terrific time thus far - 'Blue Beetle' pending.

As for this film itself, I'm not someone who has any interest in comic books so my only knowledge comes directly from the films. All I knew beforehand was the rather dodgy life of Ezra Miller (just look at their Wikipedia!) apparently affecting production. That's a lot of words to simply say that I have no clue how well of an adaptation this is from the comics, though simply as a film it give me entertainment, it really did.

'The Flash' features a strong performance from Miller, who portrays the aforementioned with quality throughout. I don't remember Barry Allen from the other DCEU flicks, so I'm pleased to have something memorable from the character with this. Elsewhere, Sasha Calle is very good as Supergirl, while Michael Keaton is much fun as Batman. There are some solid cameos in there too.

I will say that I personally would've shaved some of the run time, it does overrun ever so slighty. That is my only proper criticism though, given everything else from the story - which brings heart - to the special effects to whatever is done to a positive standard. Rating-wise, I've gone back and forth between 8/10 and 9/10 - it narrowly nabs the latter.
