Beforehand I am going to make it clear that I will be reviewing the movie and not Ezra Miller and the actions he had done in the past.

So this was one of my most hyped movies ever. Loved all the flash comics waited years and years for thisBeforehand I am going to make it clear that I will be reviewing the movie and not Ezra Miller and the actions he had done in the past.

So this was one of my most hyped movies ever. Loved all the flash comics waited years and years for this so yeah I was very excited. While some areas made me happy some did not but in the end it was a great movie.

The plot was well done. It was a well-written story, with less no.of plot holes compared to other CBMs to come out nowadays. The comedy scenes in the movie along with emotion were very very surprising and something that many CBMs too have been lacking nowadays. Flash has always been a comedic character and seeing Younger barry having that comedy sense was great. It was also good to see present barry more matured compared to the justice league while keeping the comedic sense which was nice. Micheal Keaton's Batman and Sasha Calle's Supergirl both killed their roles. Keaton Batman was very very well done and written however Calles Supergirl felt a bit underbaked and underused. They should have used her a bit more and expanded her arc rather than just being there for the final fight. Batfleck got a perfect send off except that his suit looked well horrendous. Zod and others too were fine for the small part they had. However, something great was the entire cast killed their part. Keaton was brilliant, Calle was amazing for her limited role and Miller was surprisingly incredible? His acting in the scene where he tells that younger Barry was incredible and one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie. The pacing of the movie however was mixed. Some parts were well paced while the others were eh. The inconsistency in pacing was a minor issue. The emotion part of the movie was incredible. The final scene with Barry and his mother was just so well done, it had many people crying. That was one heck of a scene. The action scenes were incredible and the nostalgia with 89'Batman theme was just chefs kiss.

So great plot, amazing acting, good jokes and emotion then the negative of the movie? The CGI. God the CGI was awful in the movie. One of the worst in any CBM which is important cause flash relies on the CGI, unlike grounded characters such as daredevil or batman. It was god awful. I have no idea how Andy looked at it and was like yeah this works. The action scenes were so good, especially the last fight which was single-handedly brought down by the horrible CGI. In addition the music in some parts of the movie weren't great either. So overall an incredible movie brought down thanks to horrendous CGI and average music. 7.5/10 would reccomend.… Expand

The movie was well made and I enjoyed watching it, but it seems inevitable that there is a limit to the emotions that I can feel as a non-DC fan.

I don't know what all these people are talking about. This is a great movie. One of the best in the DCU. It's funny, it has heart, there's good action. Just a solid performance all the way around. Cast is great also.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 8
Acting: 8
Plot: 8

After being stuck in developement hell for seven years ranging from change of directors and writers numerous times because of creative differences to COVID-19 pandemic, the thirteenth instalment of DC Extended Universe finally arrived on the big screen and featuring the return of Michael Keaton as Batman along with another version of Supergirl (Calle), which the character have not been seen on the big screen since the terrible 1984’s Supergirl.

After helping Batman and Wonder Woman stop a robbery led by Alberto Falcone in Gotham City, Barry Allen/The Flash (Miller) revisit his childhood home where he remembered his father, Henry Allen, was arrested by the police for allegedly murdering his mother, Nora Allen, which he strongly believed that he did not committed the crime but he have no successes so far to prove his innocence. Overcome by his emotions, he unintentionally use Speed Force to time travel back to one day earlier.

Realising that he can change the past using Speed Force, he told Bruce Wayne about it and how he can use the power to alter the past to save his mother and prevent his father from going to prison but the latter warn him not to do that because changing the past can have unintended consequences. Despite being warned, he choose to change the past and he got knock off by an unknown dark figure where he end up in a timeline where his mother is alive and his father is not in prison.

In the timeline where he is in right now, The Flash encounter his younger self which the former help him gain his power but end up losing his. To make things worse, General Zod (played by Michael Shannon) is alive and trying to find what appears to be Superman while there are no superheroes in this timeline except Batman. Both of them seek him out only to find that the Bruce Wayne/Batman (Keaton) is not the one The Flash knew. Together, the three of them locate the Kryptonian to aid in their battle against General Zod and for The Flash to find a way to restore the entire timelines back to its original state.

While the movie is not a 100% adaptation of the comic book, Flashpoint, the movie still retain the core parts of the storyline. As a loose adaptation, the idea of bringing Michael Keaton back as Batman is one of the good thing as it’s not just for nostalgia purpose but also give him a send-off to this version of Batman because his story arc was never finished back then. The use of two Barry Allens which both are played by Ezra Miller is creative and impressive instead of using another actor for the other Barry Allen. As the movie touches the multiverse, there are some cameos from past DC movies especially there is one character I really did not expect to show up in the movie at all. Thankfully, these cameos are not being overused or else the movie would have ended up like 2021’s Space Jam: A New Legacy. The movie puts more efforts on character developments for The Flash and Keaton’s Batman which is the right thing to do.

The cast in this movie did a great job in their performance especially Ezra and Keaton. The former did an amazing performance portraying two of the same character with different personality which are the main version as an experience and mature character and the other one as a inexperience and immature character. It’s not really easy to portrayed two different personality of the same character at the same time but Ezra did pulled it off without problem. As for the latter, Keaton still got the charm and have not lost his touch after many years of not playing the character. The original Batman theme also helped give out the vibes of nostalgia on the big screen especially if you have watched 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns. Ben Affleck also did a great job as Batman for the last time despite being a short screentime and he seems much more relaxed in the role than his previous appearances.

However, the movie have some bad things. The CGIs is not very good as it looks outdated, obvious and rushed. With all the delays, the visual artists should have used those times to polish the CGIs but if they actually did, they have done a poor job. On the other hand, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl did not really have much character development and she only shows up near the end of the second act in the movie. Despite that, she still did a great job considering this is her first acting debut in a feature film which I find it not bad. I would love to see her playing as a different version of Supergirl in the upcoming DC Universe if she is given the opportunity.

While not the best movie but given the circumstances with all the delays, props to Andy Muschietti for not only making The Flash a good and watchable movie but pulled the movie out of developement hell. He saved the movie from being a disaster. If you are fans of The Flash, then you should give this movie a try. There is post-credits scene but it’s just a funny scene and you can skip it if you want.… Expand

I honestly don’t think this was that bad.
Sure, the CGI looked straight out of a PS3 game but the emotional core really was pretty great, the characters were nice, etc.
Overall though, the animated one is better for sure.
