What Do You All Think Of The Flash?
I want to get a conversation started on this topic also this will only be a brief summary of my thoughts but I go a bit more in depth on my reaction to Critical Drinkers Flash review, Its up on my Youtube channel now and id appreciate any support! https://youtu.be/MkUhgdUh8SE thank you guys. oh and be sure to leave me feedback over there too.
now I think this movie has been doomed for a while I remember as a number 1 flash fan back in 2016 hearing the flash was getting a movie and it was going to be flash point! coming in 2018! I was so excited even though i wasnt keen on the casting at all I thought ezra might grow into the roll (Lmao that didnt happen) then I started getting worried as the dates kept getting pushe back and the dceu as a whole displayed how inconcistent, and directionless it was, then I heard of early scripts where they were basically gonna use flashpoint to make the D-She-U and i slowly lost hope over the years.
saw the movie last week, I hated it, I still hate ezras caricature of barry allen. I think he displayed good acting but he’s just not barry allen, never was he sucks to me.
I was born int 2000 so the micheal keaton stuff wasnt anything special for me, I would have preferred tomas wayne.
only positive was it was funny at times, the ending wasnt as expected and it was nice seeing batfleck again. thats it. the huge cameo scene came of as pointless, desperate, and cringy. 2 of them were ok-ish. Crazy how they flopped such a fantastic story line that coulda easily been great.
Make sure to check out my video where I expand on certain thoughts about the movie! And respond to the drinkers points.
Also:
I havent been active on this site in about 2 years, alot happened and the stresses of life took over, cut out all social platforms. But im back but its good seeing this site still thriving and even seeing some familiar faces in the forums lol I remember alot of you guys and the discussions we had. anyway glad to be back. and Ive finally started working on the Youtube channel I’ve always wanted to!
June 24, 2023 at 7:34 pm #302123The DCEU is dead.
Having a groomer/trespasser/thief in the title role(s) does not do anything but take away from the film (just as having the Domestic Abuser co-starring in Aquaman 2).
This version of The Flash is so far from the comics, I refuse to call this flasher that character.
The AI/CGI from the trailers looked so bad.
Sites like the rotten Rotten Tomatoes reverse review bombed the audience score to make it look like it was much better than the pile of crap is really is.
This will be a on-sale $5 DVD for me.
And all the YTubers who did see it that I saw their reviews, more mostly negative.
This horrible movie might just overtake Waterworld as the WORST financial lose to a movie studio by a single film, as well as reports it is tracking to have near the worst drop off in week 2 of release.
June 25, 2023 at 5:58 pm #302159Even with a multitude of issues, this film managed to entertain me much more than I expected it to. Some quick thoughts:
- The filmmakers were very much aware how Quicksilver in both Days of Future Past and Age of Ultron beat them to the punch and focused on attempting to impress through every other power except the now-dated slow motion. Opening trip to Gotham still looked fake, but was a really cool concept.
- Those who complain about the lack of realism of the CGI babies in the opening scene and don’t inform their audience of the context of the Looney Tunes-style set piece are, I feel, being disingenuous in their reviews. Marvel would never attempt anything close to that brand of comedy.
- Keaton was underwhelming for the marketing buildup, but who knows how many of his scenes were cut. It sounds like they had another two hours of footage filmed before crafting a functional plot in editing.
- There clearly wasn’t a design concept, much less any CGI render, of the time travel sequences until some time this year. Definitely the worst part of the film, made even worse by the fact that so much depends on it.
If you can’t tolerate Ezra, don’t watch it. For me, it’s about a 6/10, better than the last Doctor Strange. Honestly surprised box office is doing this poorly.
June 25, 2023 at 8:02 pm #302163@xdax id be lying if i said i wasn’t decently entertained. so as a movie i could see giving it a 6/10 or even 7/10 but I have like this way of compartmentalizing my thoughts on movies, Like I have different perspectives, like for doctor strange 2, it was 0/10 as a doctor strange film, but a 9/10 for a scarlet witch film, as a multiverse film id give it like a 4/10, as a movie in general no expectations id give it a 7.5/10. i dont always over complicate it like that but for mixed bag films I do.
flash is a similar situation, in some lights its good, ok or trash, but i go with trash because barry was the main selling point and its his movie and as a flash movie I feel like it was bad. same with doctor strange. i think the flash is a rather good time travel film, a mid batman film, and a solid comedy film. so definitely enjoyment to be had but not enough to overide the fact that its a bad flash/flashpoint movie. in my opinion so thats why i go so low, but I get your overall rating, it makes sense.
just sharing an interesting little system ive come up with for these mixed bag movies that get hard to judge. atleast for me
