"The Flash" is a jumbled mess that leaves viewers with mixed feelings and disappointment. I couldn't agree more about the ridiculous scenes and laughable CGI, which unfortunately drowned the film in a world of absurdity.

Let's start with the technical aspects. The CGI in The Flash is perplexing and laughable. It is far from the level of expectation from modern cinematic projects. This is extremely disappointing, especially considering that the film is based on a comic book about a superhero that requires high-level special effects.

One of The Flash's biggest problems is its weak and poorly developed script. The plot seems to have potential, but it gets tangled up in ridiculous logic and silly character decisions. Viewers get confusion instead of an engaging and understandable narrative. Young Flash is unfortunately overplayed and comes across as unbearably annoying. Perhaps this was intended to create a certain character, but such a move just starts to get on the audience's nerves, which is not a good sign for the film.

There are a huge number of cameos in the film, though some of them are short and look like homages to DC films of yesteryear, and some just serve to remind you that the film is definitely in the DCEU and shouldn't be missed.

Likewise, the theme of the multiverse is poorly handled, adding it into one film was clearly a bad idea. If the competitors in the form of Marvel have not yet managed to fully disclose it in 5 or more projects, then DC in one two-hour film and even more so.

"The Flash" failed miserably at the box office, causing WBD huge losses. Was it deserved? Unequivocally. The film is a total mess, referencing past DC films and unceremoniously destroying Zack Snyder's highly conceptual cinematic universe.

A weak script, ridiculous scenes, and poor CGI make this film a failed project that would have been better avoided. If you're looking for a quality entertaining film, "The Flash" is clearly not the best choice.

Overall, "The Flash" turned out to be an under-done and disappointing project. Despite some bright moments and some good acting by the actors, it can't hide the pile of problems with the plot, characters and tone of the film. As a result, viewers have to switch off their brains and see The Flash as a ridiculous attempt to entertain for one evening. The film is completely deserving of criticism and leaves a feeling of missed potential and poor cinematic execution.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand why Michael Keaton could not be saved, the weight of carrying this movie was too much for him in every timeline. Jokes aside it is one of the better DC movies, but that is not saying much at all.

It is like super hero movies are in a competition to see who can get the highest amount of dumb and annoying people in their movie.… Expand

Le film seLes effets spéciaux sont mauvais, vraiment mauvais, à peu prêt autant que le scénario qui n'a aucun sens. En fait, c'est pire que tout ce que je pouvais espérer ne pas voir même si j'avais revu mes attentes largement à la baisse. Le film se sent obligé de s'expliquer mot à mot. L'humour est du niveau "pipi caca" (bien qu'une blague du film soit parvenue à m'arracher un sourire). Les dialogues et les personnages sont gênants, c'est un peu comme si tout le monde était réellement stupide dans ce film. La plupart des personnages sont objectivement de gros déchets. Tout est plat, rien ne ressort, aucun symbole, aucune iconographie, aucune subtilité, aucun amour pour les personnages. Il y avait pourtant la possibilité de faire quelque chose de génial (et c'est étrangement voulu). C'est une réelle opportunité manqué, un beau gâchis. Les seuls points positifs sont Supergirl, que j'ai trouvé convaincante même si la réalisation qui l'entoure n'est pas à la hauteur et quelques clins d'œil sympa pour les fans même s'ils sont souvent mal amenés. Zack Snyder va beaucoup manquer à l'univers cinématographique de DC Comics car on pouvait ressentir sa passion et son amour pour les personnages et la mythologie qui les entoure. Là, ce n'est que du divertissement et pas des meilleurs.… Expand

When they mentioned the CGI was bad, they weren't joking, this is The Mummy 2001 level bad.

I was laughing at how bad the CGI was literally, about 70%-90% is completely CGI.
I could literally imagine how the VFX and CGI teams were sweating trying to come up with something, especially considering the scenes.

Before I carry on, Understand I do not care what criminal offences Ezra Miller Committed, I'm here to rate a film based on my opinion, not to be Judge Judy. (And yes, I don't like Ezra Miller for what he has done, obviously).

Anyway, Ok, I get the idea behind the scenes, the over plot is solid, it really is, even its implementation, it's just the CGI ruins every single scene they use it in. Of course, there are scenes where it's clean and not noticeable but those go by in a FLASH.

Enough about me ranting about the CGI, what about the rest of the film, is the Story, Characters, Plot, and Pacing somewhat tolerable?

People Are not gonna like me saying this, but YES, it actually is Solid besides that the movie starts up so fast making you unable to stop and breathe, but there are a lot of slower moments too, where I fell back in line.

So basically this is a solid movie just with bad CGI and Pacing Issues, and maybe a bit too much nostalgia, look I'd watch a Nick Cage Superman Movie any day, but Seriously that is just WB, the Directors and the Writers, giving what the audience wants to see, Only that its all in CGI mostly. WB your audience isn't Blinded by nostalgia.

Nostalgia /= 10/10 movie, it just means you have nothing more to show, so you just find something that people like and put it in.

Ratings:
CGI: 2/10, It's there, It's funny, and it ain't good, besides some really short shots.

Story & Plot: 7/10, Surprisingly, good? Yeah, I'm confused as well.

Characters: 7/10, Good as well, not all the characters are fleshed out but it is enough I guess.

Action: 8/10, It is good ACtion But Ruined by CGI, All the shots are filmed well, but that CGI man, slaps you in the face hard.

Pacing: 5/10, Its Starts up Fast, but then eases in, and then fast again then it ends.

Nostalgia: 9/10, It's overflowing, but I minus 1 point for my boi Henry Cavil, WB Did him Dirty, (And since you're head of DC now, MR Gunn, this includes you).

So the Final Rating is a uh, a 7 or a 6, yeah this one is a tough one because I see the bones, I see what was trying to be done, I think the scenes are well executed but, I know I keep on Blaming CGI, but believe me here, It takes you out and ruins the movie by a lot.

I've been sitting here thinking and conflicted for more than 20 minutes. F*ck ok, there are fans like me that want to see MKs Batman, and there are other people that have never watched any of those films, I will go with 6/10. I will go with the denominator, meaning, I have to consider someone that has no clue about the DC universe. This movie is a 6/10.
It is above average it is watchable but it's really up to you if you're into it or not. If you like Good CGI, at least the bare minimum F&F levels then yeah, You might hate this film.

WB has screwed up their own franchises, and DC has a chance to destroy Marvel and Disney but for some reason unknown to Zod, they haven't taken it yet.
James Gunn Better bring his A-game cause I am losing what little Hope I have for Live Action DC Content.

DC animation though is still going strong (Mostly). If you read this, then Good Job, It really means something to me, if not well then I'll see you for the Blue Beetle Review (Oh god I sense something Bad brewing).… Expand

Having just caught an early accessBarry Allen/Flash (Ezra Miller) finds himself weaving through the past and time itself as he tries to undo his mother's death. He soon however finds that altering time and the past has its consequences. Having just caught an early access preview for this one, I didn't expect much going into it. This is mostly due to the fact that I'm just so burnt out on DC and superhero films in general, especially with the multiverse concept. And while there are some fun and decent moments to be had here, none of it really adds up to being anything too worthwhile. While it was great to see Michael Keaton return after over 30 years as Batman, and even seeing Supergirl (Sasha Calle) make an appearance, the film's story and timelines are all a literal mess and so not worth the headache trying to follow all the plot points and action. Furthermore, the slow-motion scenes throughout are cheesy and ridiculous at best. Overall, while it boasts an all-star roster for sure (besides Keaton, Batfleck, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and a whole host of other cameos and Easter Eggs towards the end make things somewhat interesting), it's simply not enough to overcome the typical loud and lackluster story and action I've come to expect from DC.… Expand

For James Gunn to say it’s the best superhero movie, he is obviously lying to promote the box office sales, which obviously is not working. Michael Keaton was great in the movie but that was all that it really had going for it. Super girl was also pretty good, but was short-lived.… Expand

Lazy storytelling indeed. The Flash is sort of an attempt a la No Way Home and In The Multiverse of Madness that in no way tries to reboot things for what's to come with James Gunn, it just seems like there was already too much money invested in this movie that had to be finished and released one way or another. Including the huge problem that Ezra Miller became. And the biggest problem is that unlike what Marvel did, which made everything look organic. In The Flash it seems like they just wanted to see how much they could cram into the plot and call it a day.

The plot sucks. The visual effects are terrible. Staggeringly appalling.
Their Supergirl is worse than useless, and the inclusion of Michael Keaton as Batman is an embarrassment done purely with the intention of manipulating audiences who will admit that he is the reason they will watch the movie and not Flash who is the main character.

The problem with DC/Warner since Man of Steel is that there was never a clear direction of what they wanted to do or where they were going and this movie is another cruel example of that. There are still two movies to go before Gunn presents what he's planning and clearly these don't mean **** anymore, but I really want to think that what he has in mind has to be better than this. It has to be. It demands to be better. I think the only winner here was Andy Muschietti who came out with a brand new job to direct the upcoming Batman movie. But after watching this one I'm not sure it was a good choice.
And even worse for him, because he will be compared mercilessly to whatever Matt Reeves does in The Batman 2. What a huge disappointment, but you could see it coming from all sides.… Expand

Generally when it comes to cgi I never complain but not only was it at times quite bad... it was everywhere... I can't think of another film quite so dependent on cgi. There are some good moments in this film and some excellent performances. I really enjoyed Michael Keaton as Batman, he nailed it. Also, Sasha Calle played supergirl perfectly in my opinion. All in all not a bad film but not something I'd rewatch. I was pretty hyped for this one but it's a bad start to the new DCU, particularly unfortunate since Marvel has been losing steam lately in my opinion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the cgi is terrible it looks like a ps2 cutscene when he goes back in time and everything freezes around him. Ezra is annoying 2 times more no thanks to hack synder for casting this clown in the first place. the story drags along and it doesn't pick up the pace until a half hour in. speaking of dragging keaton and Sasha Calle is the only highlight of this movie and carried this movie in the 2nd half of this flim. Sasha Calle is the perfect Supergirl (no feminist agenda, no sjw none of that propaganda) it was all character growth and willingness to help. however this is where the spoilers come in so after Ezra's flash went back in time to save his mother bcuz his father was failed from the justice system due to the camera footage that would've confirmed his alibi but due to the footage being damaged they court was going to find him guilty so Barry want back in time not only to prevent his mother from being killed over a can of tomatoes but save his father as well. the trailers pretty much spoiled the rest of the plot and the 2nd half of the movie. future Barry got past barry to reenact to get past barry to get electrocuted to get his powers in doing so future barry lost his powers so he spent 20 minutes trying to get keaton to electrocute him after the introduction of keaton's bruce wayne alot of nods to jack Nicolson's joker including the laughing teeth i love the subtle references and homage to 89 and returns batman movies in burtonverse. i love those parts but here's my problems with the movie so far keaton's bruce wayne has long grey hair was a drunk can i imagine tim burton ever doing that too his batman NO i just don't see burton bruce wayne being an alcoholic and there's no much told on what happened to him and dark flash is that punch barry is how he go into this universe and landed exactly where he needed to get too, how convenient. and he see too old ppl walking together and nobody else is around to see him use his flash powers to steal their clothes so he can wear to see his mother alive and his father out of trouble, how convenient. and as soon as his parents sees him nobody questions anything strange that their son is wearing female and t-shirt and a baggy brown pant that can barely fit him, how convenient. and then when future barry saw past barry his excuse to going outside was literally "i have to take a s*** outside excuse me" first off who tf says that to their parents??? and second how did his parents not just see past barry directly in front of them since the curtain on the window was open and he was literally waving at them only for a spit second before barry tackles him and they didn't see him, because barry use his powers?, how convenient. if u saw the trailers then u saw the entire second half of the movie but for spoilers yes, clerk kent is dead in this universe apparently zod killed him before he made it to earth, but that's not my problem with this move the problem is killing off Sasha Calle's supergirl 10 times bcuz of zack's version of barry allen is incompetent, so she kept dying in a repeating cycle that's what caused past barry to become dark flash it's LAME! for those two reasons then it gets worse bcuz they killed keaton's batman twice in seconds like why bring him back and on top of that they replaced keaton with clooney at the end. this is the biggest F U to all of burton verse batman fans because we waited for 30-40 years to finally get keaton to become batman again just for him to get killed off and get replace by Clooney. this is a TERRIBLE FAN FILM!… Expand

Ezra Miller delivers his career best performance, yet it's not enough to keep the viewer engaged as everyone surrounding him feels like a robot rather than characters, who are programmed to deliver nostalgic and crowd pleasing dialogues.

I am pretty sure there is a 3 hour cut of this film, with less humour and more fleshed out character arcs that does justice to this script, because there is something truly special in this movie, that gets buried under a series of crowd pleasing but mediocre decisions.

With all that being said , the events in the last 15 mins are actually executed really well and will be a treat for any DC fan to watch on the big screen.

Ps- This movie features the worst post credit scene I have seen in my life.… Expand

É realmente incômodo ver o the flash se entregar ao padrões de Shazam, muito do que tendo a pegada sombria do Batman ou do Coringa, injetando um amontoado de piadinhas adolescentes. E para completar, o multiveros visitado é muito linear, basicamente uma ou outra função ou aparência são mudadas, feito como se estivesse a toque de caixa para homenagear o elenco diversificado.
Com isso, temos um longa de fácil digestão do roteiro, mas a execução acelerada prejudica o todo, as piadas nem todas funcionam.
O ponto positivo e que destaca foi o efeito dado quando o flash executa seus movimentos e frações de segundo, ora a câmera opta por mostrar seus passos (em câmera lenta e com todos azulados neon, ficasdo realmente bonitas de ver), ora já segue para a execução dos passo, como na cena em que ele consegue o acesso ao computador instantaneamente mas avisa que digitou todas as combinações de senha antes. Fantástico uso cênico do espaço-tempo.
Mas é só exigir um pouco mais do roteiro que o filme cai no lugar comum, e as homenagens não emocionam nem acrescentam ao enredo.Nesse quesito, o multiverso de animação do homem-aranha dá uma aula em toda e qualquer proposta que trabalhe o tema, não apenas pelo acuro com a jornada mas pela boa construção do clima.
Perceba como aqui, em cenas chaves, tudo é muito resolvido, e o filme desacelera somente nas cenas finais dele com a mãe, soando frias, porque o terreno não fora preparado de forma adequada.
Ainda assim não é um filme ruim. Longe disso. O filme diverte, e tem uma série de homenagens que, tirando o clima de uma homenagem forçada para alguns, em outros realmente funcionam, Michael Keaton por exemplo está excepcional.
Vale muito conferir nas telonas, os efeitos quando o flash usa seus poderes ficaram lindos de se ver, e algumas brincadeiras e ações derivadas do fato de agir em milésimos de segundos ficaram criativas.
Poderia ter um roteiro mais firme, tinha muito potencial para isso. E nem falo do tom sombrio. Filmes como "Guardiões da galáxia" conseguem muito bem entregar um roteiro sólido com diversão e correria. É preciso a DC adotar também a linha mais acurada, especialmente no Shazam. Pelo menos este aqui ainda está na linha do tolerável.… Expand

There are a lot of stupid people doing reviews. People giving 10s or 0s are stupid. This is a fun movie, good story, good jokes, absolutely destroyed by the horrendous CGI and the limp ending. The unnecessary cameos are useless as well. ThisThere are a lot of stupid people doing reviews. People giving 10s or 0s are stupid.

The opening hospital sequence showed promise.
Seeing Michael Keaton again as Batman and that "other" special guest star was amusing.

I want to start with what I liked about the film. -The 2 Barrys; the difference in maturity was well displayed
-the ways that speed was visually represented here was neat.

-the ways that speed was visually represented here was neat.
-the different take in time travel and the multiverse.
-Sasha Calle as Supergirl
-Obviously, Michael Keaton's return as Batman.
-scenes of tension and heart managed to hit well enough.
Now what I did not like:
-a bit of the Barrys, the younger Barry was constantly on the border between fine and painful. I think they could have eased up on him. -The effects; some VFX shots were well implemented, but there was an awful lot of uncanny valley going on. I get that some were intentional, but ouch.
-I absolutely hated the design of the first action set piece in Gotham. I don't think I can express properly how much I hated that first sequence without spoiling things. At the end of the day, it was an okay movie, which lands right in the middle for me. I didn't my time, but I also wouldn't go out of my to watch this again.… Expand

Im not sure what happened with this DC experiment. They have interesting characters and have complicated, captivating stories from the comics but it has come out as a mess on the big screen. Im a fan of The Flash but I won't be rushing back to watch this. It had its moments but overall its just okay. The CGI wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. Its passable. This movie came out at the wrong time as well. I was expecting a moment where they threw back to Batman vs Superman but they didn't. It was looking like they were with the build up but no. Disappointed with that but overall this series bows out with a whimper. FIVE out of ten. Is this era of superhero movies over?… Expand

This movie is not nearly entertaining, well-directed, well-shot, or compelling enough to justify having a child kidnapper walk the red carpet. It's so **** boring and I actually fell asleep halfway through watching the movie the first time.This movie is not nearly entertaining, well-directed, well-shot, or compelling enough to justify having a child kidnapper walk the red carpet. It's so **** boring and I actually fell asleep halfway through watching the movie the first time. Second time through I managed to stay awake to the end, but it did make me see the absolutely DISGUSTING CGI posthumous actor cameos so maybe I would have rated it higher when I was asleep.… Expand

That being said, I did go and see it. The first 20 minutes were great…Ben Affleck as Batman was awesome, Gal Gator as Wonder Woman was great in her brief cameo. Then it all kind of goes to hell without any real reason or direction. There are some cool scenes but overall it just felt like an overly long movie with no real story to tell.… Expand

While the running CGI are extremely embarrassing for a high-buget film,James Gunn is still able to bring a lot to the table. The story, while slow for a Flash film, is a novel concept, but the time-travel was integrated poorly.

Overall very enjoyable movie let down by patchy effects. Worth a watch.… Expand
