Well that George Clooney scene killed it for me. I don't like the George Clooney version of batman. And I'm kind of upset they didn't get a new actor. So is Clooney gonna be the batman in jame gun verse? Why?? I also think they should have done a trilogy instead of heading straight to the multiverse. I'm kind of tired of studios shoving 2 second cameos from old films in our face. Just give us original stories. I still had a blast watching the film. Still can't believe they killed Keaton batman. Oof.
The Spaghetti explanation was a really good way of explaining the multiverse and how sometimes the worlds can be exactly the same and sometimes they can be wildly different, and sometimes they can be the same in certain ways but not in other ways.
Yeah I don’t think the ending of this movie is the DCU but spaghetti explanation gives viewers an explanation that DCU intersected the DCEU in ways to explain why some characters look the same and certain events are still canon (Peacemaker and Waller cast). The DCU is a different strand but at times intersected the DCEU.
@@DanFarrell98 They explained that with the spaghetti analogy. The issue I have is 18 year old Flash being killed by his older self would have erased all that they did by creating another parallel universe.
Seeing Christopher Reeves was fine to me. This was honoring all of those actors, including the original Superman actor George Reeves. I wish we could’ve seen Val’s Batman version as well.
I do agree with a lot of cameos being missing but that’s probably a legal thing idk. But I’ll never get how fans can get disrespected by a studio using CGI to bring someone back to life. Especially after they’ve been dead for a while l. STFU AND ENJOY THE SCENE
@@zechrojas2202 the CG did look weird, but in my mind I saw it as how the Flash/Barry would see people moving slow through time. CG Characters looked frozen at times and I think they meant to do that. It takes a lot of work just to get one face looking right, now imagine, well in this case we see how it’s hard to do multiple CG effects with all those characters at once. It reminded me of the Matrix Revolutions CG fight scenes and how those characters. But for me in the end it didn’t bother me.
I am not really a big fan of gunn new reboot, like wtf it is so messy. With the pattinson batman and they are going to cast a new older batman. And superman they are going to cast a newer and younger version, when henry could have been the superman in the future. But no, reboot everything and have to watch characters that nobody really have interest in. lol Im guessing it is due to superhero fatigue as well, there is just too many now.
Very uneven but the pros outweigh the cons. Finally one of the better DC films in the last few years. Miller has his problems but he did very well in this film differentiating the two versions of himself. Michael Keaton was also good. Story was very good. A real proper super hero story. CGI was crap. Great to see a few of the cast reunited. Started a bit off the boil but built up really well. That ending. Damn. Very definition of a tear jerker.
Although the CGI was very bad at a lot of moments in the movie I don’t think it hurt the film as much as it did some other movies that have come out recently. I really enjoyed this film I thought all of the flash stuff was really well handled and Keaton was awesome to see back.
It was good, the ending scene with Barry and his mom actually got me a bit emotional, if the Clooney set up was meant to put Ezra Millers flash in purgatory while Gunn gets to use a new actor that’s honestly pretty smart. 8/10
I think Supergirl was fantastic! The look, the gestures, the attitude. Of course, she's in the smaller height, but I guess that was to balance with the rest of the leading actors. I admit I was a bit disappointed with her death, but, this is the multiverse, so, she can be "brought back". Specially when we don't know the future of TJL. Nevertheless, she was fantastic!
Everyone misquotes Michael Shannon. He literally said “Man of steel is a sophisticated story. The Flash is also a sophisticated story it’s just not Zod’s story. I’m just here to present a challenge” Like he literally gets it. 😂
I give it an 8.5, he was able to capture a son's love for his mother and the bye at the end brought me to tears. He's off the rails in real life but is actually a good actor. He's still 30 years old, if he matures and gets the right help, and opens up about his mental illness then he deserves a 2nd chance. Look how Robert Downing Jr transformed himself and became the Ironman everyone loves so much. Our society needs to practice forgiveness and create environments for people not have to walk around with so much shame
Exactly. I think Ezra's mental condition was just perfect for these multiplicity! He/they really embodies it!! And in the movie, he mentions mental health issues too!
I don't mind the Christopher Reeve cameo. One of the biggest points of the multiverse is that people who are dead in one reality are alive in others. Given that, his appearance here actually makes sense.
I just loved the movie really.. the fight scenes, the jokes, the powerful feeling of being a superhuman ( i got a really nice perspective from it while watching the scenes )...
Really enjoyed this film and love the tone, storytelling and action. Keaton still has it and nailed it as a older Bruce. Hope Calle's Supergirl stays in The DCU because she's greatmand brings a lot of her. Them as a human aside Miller is great and plays the different Barrys so well. Some Bad CGI aside This is a great film and i think the ending with George is a way to not have Miller As Barry anymore.
Man that Nicholas cage was amazing, but I did think they’d explain more of who stabbed his mom. I know in the comics it was reverse flash but I thought they’d give more in the movie
The leaked plot of 2022 does say reverse flash hints were there, but seeing the change in direction of management at dc, I think they removed that bit and have left it open ended. If someone who is a casual viewer and doesn't follow dc, they would be questioning how it happened which is never explained here. Weird but this movie may not have a continuation in my view.
Agree with 8 out of 10, massive Keaton fan, so was very happy to see him again, he deserved his trilogy! however agree with you regarding the somewhat boring first act, apart from Batcycle beginning! But very good movie!
This is just perfect timing, i just watched The Flash a couple of hours ago and for the most part i enjoyed this movie. As someone who has seen the animated counterpart (Flashpoint Paradox) this was surprisingly a good adaptation. I thought the cameos were a bit too much (some of which people aren't going to understand) and i was slightly taken a back by them. I felt the first half was choppy and messy to say the least and like you said it falls into place once we meet Michael Keaton's "Bruce Wayne/Batman". And the biggest thing that felt like it just made this movie (experience) worse was definitely the CGI. Whenever they have CGI in this film 80%-90% of the time it's not good for 2023 and by this i mean it feels like they worked on this movie in the early 2000's when the technology wasn't that good. It's just not a great experience in that regards and you can definitely tell when it's CGI. Overall i had fun & if you're a fan of the animated "Flashpoint Paradox" movie you probably will end up enjoying this movie. I would give this a solid 7/10 and mostly because of its choppy pacing in the first half and most of it is because of the CGI otherwise i would bump it up to a 7.5/10, and it's definitely not the best comic book movie ever made.
Some parts of the films seemed fresh or seemed new on the screen. I loved how they showed the perspective of a speedster running way above the speed of sound/at the speed of light. I just hope the film gets better ticket sales so we can get a sequel (by that time I hope they'll have more time for post-production)
It was an awesome movies, and I am not bothered by some of the cheesy CGI. I agree multiverse has been done on multiple movies, but the Flash took a different approach that I have not heard about before. It’s always been a straight shot alternate time branch. The Christopher Reeve scene was awesome, as I grew up watching these versions a a youth. I don’t consider it a bad thing. This is a great movie. I’ll watch it again.
i think george clooney will make a good new older badman. he can play the same role keaton would have. a nick fury type role.. i think clooney knows what not to do now and im kinda glad he can have a shot at the cowl again..not as good as if it were keaton but ill take it
If he is going to be an older batman in the dcu, it would be nice if he wore the batman beyond suit to show his final 5 to 8 years as batman before he retires to set up the batman beyond movie franchise. Keaton or clooney, that arc from the dcu to the batman beyond franchise could be a 5 to 7 movie arc. Better start setting it up before either of these guys drop dead like chadwick and the black panther franchise gets emasculated.
I think Gunn wouldn't touch anything and leave everything as it is now but use THE IDEA that Barry's time travel change things in every universe , like in that earth Barry is now Aquaman is same but not the Batman so in that same way in Gunn's new DC universe some old characters will look the same but many characters would be different...
@@tigerlancer agreed. and im so happy they didnt replace superman with supergirl for good..anytime a superhero movie comes out im always worried they are gona do a gender or race change for no reason except to seem woke...soon there will be no white male superheros left
@@dustincongello5802 I agree with you with regards to token diversity just for the hell of it, but the last line really makes you come off as an abject moron, dude. There was literally only one female character in this movie who had almost no character development or lines. Every single other hero in this movie, including _all_ the cameos, was white+male. Check yourself, mate.
Out of the theater I had this movie at an 8/10. However the more I think about it the more it’s growing on me. It may be my 2nd favorite DCEU movie behind Man of Steel. Had a heckuva time with this movie
@@firstlast9846True however I agree. You can take inspiration but still have some of the aspects but this, the only inspiration or identical part is Barry saving his mom an then she’s dead by the end. Complete crap. Maybe movies should start being faithful instead of the inspiration. Would of been better film if they had Thomas Wayne, reverse flash, Amazon an Atlantis war. To me had they even just had reverse flash cameo would made it better. However I agree this is a joke an slap in the face.
I was so afraid after all that stuff with Ezra Miller went down that this movie was never going to be released. I am so relieved & happy it’s finally in theaters to see.
I saw the movie last night and instantly came here. Thanks for filling in the gaps for me Paul! Hitting the like and commenting before I finish watching. As quick as the Flash himself👍✌️ Saw the clip last night post movie; I say Aquaman like you do and I have an accent too! 🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺
The Flash should NOT be dark. Whether it's Barry or Wally, Flash should be about redemption, friends and family, fun, and running faster than he's ever run before. Yes, Batman brings the darkness but Flash should be the light to counter the dark. And Batman really is the only one who should be dark in the DC main roster.
@@ivansanchez4993 Yeah but Barry was literally a blue lantern, he embodies hope, and part of that is optimism even in the midst of depressing times. Tonally the Flash is a lot like Spider-man, sure there are dark things that happen, and the hero struggles, but there's a lot of levity and sometimes camp
the flash was for sure worth the wait...i think so. i couldnt stop smiling the whole time..even the emotional parts i still had a cheese smile across my face from whatever cool thing happened before..best easter egg, the jokers laugh bag
@TheEandIShow fuck that you wait til he's available or you get old footage of him running by real quick other shows have done it. He's been the Flash longer than anyone else you put him in the movie not the fake Jay Garrick. He was Zoom in the show so it didn't even make sense
hold up he's not the only actor who played a role in DC that wasnt shown in the movie, there's also Brandon Routh, Henry. Grant Gustin possibly show up if there's a sequel knowing Elseworld exist
@Mike.2004 no but it's a FLASH movie it just makes the most sense to put the longest running person to play him & he's probably the reason most newer ppl even know who the flash is. It's a fumble
The Flashpoint comic, and Flashpoint animations were both absolutely amazing. I wish they would have kept it closer to the source material. But whatever, maybe someday.
I think if the CGI was better for Christopher’s scene it would have been beautiful, because to me, he is the Superman I grew up with so for them to have everyone and not include him would have probably made people upset. I just wish it looked better.
@@SkiperEdits Again, what about the Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom movie thats coming this December? Does that mean that will be the last of Aquaman we ever see since it was from the same universe as The Flash?
I had such a fun time watching The Flash. So excited for the future with James Gunn im so confused 😂. I even thought Ezra Miller was great (yeh ik he might’ve done a bad thing)
I love this channel and your accent lol listen the first time a dead actor came on screen was on twilight zone I can't remember the name of the show but I think it's with sorry forgive me brain storm is a big Italian actor lol it up pls
That was my favorite comic book movie ever. Lots of great references to Flashpoint, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Red Sun, etc, great direction, great cameos, and awesome action.
Facts thts my only real complaint besides the cut character arc/development with batman with the whole Letter from his dad stuff really wanted dean and Reverse flash in this movie Anthony star would of killed it
I absolutely loved it! The CGI was pretty janky at times but it's fine. I just hope it gets polished for the online/blu-ray releases (and no undermining the staff please DC) and I wish we got to see Michelle's Catwoman here 🥲😭 It was a blast seeing everyone here and I really had fun watching it 💛❤⚡ It's a shame the og cast will be trplacef though...still looking forward to the future of the new DCEU 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@davidthirugnanakumar7888 this is in my own opinion and give the VFX team a break 🙃 I know this should have been polished before releasing it BUT it didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the film 🙂👍🏻
this movie was amazing, regardless of the drama surrounding ezra miller, I loved him in this movie even in the justice league movies. Probably my favorite flash just because of how he is on screen, the movie was amazing and i was enjoyable to watch and I hope we get to see more of sasha's supergirl and I am so confused on the ending because I don't even know who that batman was.
The sad part is, I actually think Ezra Miller is a good actor. Just like him having to act with himself. That's not easy. It's hard to overcome what has happened in HIS personal life. Not their haha
The CGI was so bad at parts that I’m convinced it was a stylistic choice to make it sort of cartoon like. CGI Nic Cage was brilliant! His superman movie would have sucked badly had it ever been released, but it sort of worked in an elseworlds sort of way in this one.
One thing confuses me, just because his dad didn’t leave to go to the store, why does that mean his mom doesn’t die? Reverse Flash still would have shown up you’d think.
Also, if anyone questions why Young Barry dying, who I named Kid Flash, doesn't kill our Barry, it's because he's an entirely different person. Our Barry essentially traveled to an alternate timeline. Think of it like our Barry jumped to the KeatonVerse, where a version of him is still the Flash, yet it's a different Barry than ours. Young Barry dying killed Dark Flash because Young Barry was the younger version of Dark Flash and our Barry is from a separate timeline where events have already played out, whereas the events of The Flash directly result in Young Barry becoming Dark Flash. Time travel is confusing, but it's pretty simple when you break it down. Just wanted to explain this briefly because there's already some confusion about why Young Barry dying didn't erase our Barry.
But the plot of the flash movie would not have happened if Dark Flash didn’t push Barry into the timeline, so it’s a paradox. Am I wrong? I’m not trying to argue just so confused and need further explaining
Not interested in Ezra’s version of Barry but I love your breakdowns! Might catch it at some point on streaming but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go see this. Update: My husband wanted to see it and I’m at the theater now lol 😂 it’s ok so far.
Glad you enjoyed but as a adult who stands by his morals I will not be going to see and support this film I'm more than capable of sacrificing a couple hours of Make-Believe superhero action 🤷♂️ still waiting for Ezra get fired though
@@heavyspoilers or course dude🤟🍻 trust me I wish I felt otherwise because before all that drama I was a fan of what Snyder had done with the character and Wanted to see more🤷♂️🍻
@atfbproductions7458 I really hope you know that nobody at the studio including Ezra since he's already been paid, will care about your 7$ movie ticket 🤣 Its honestly laughable how people think they're going to make a difference by trying to feed the leftist side. We both know deep down you literally don't care
@@Sonmmmxuan Doesn't matter. Separate the movie from the actor. I'm going to see "The Flash" not a ezra miller recap movie. If you want to be retarded, then be my guest. Its honestly such a dumb take how you think your actions will do anything.
Correct 👌 I know it’s been some months and most forgot, but this was already the death blow. Jason back, but not lobo, his old role while other actors simply been cut because of personal favors with poor excuses like “too old”.
Being a huge flash fan... The cgi took me way out😢 i also don't understand why they couldn't make Ezra double up on the scenes... You can tell when they deep faked his face
Saw it last night. I was happy to see Keaton Batman again on the big screen as he’s the one I grew up on. I don’t think he’s the same one from the burton movies but it was sad seeing him die but at least he did his thing going out a hero. Supergirl on the hand I liked a lot but I think they made her weak. She threw a bunch of punches and it didn’t do much to Zod which all he did was throw one double punch and it was over for her. All Barry had to do was warn her of his knife thingy. Other than that it was a solid film. Great performance from Ezra despite his off screen issues. Def won’t be seeing him again.
Thanks for this footnote to your video yesterday. Much more understandable. I'm still not sure I will see it, but I'm still bothered with all the justification for destroying the presence of Henry Cavill, but HEY, it is what it is . . . KEEP GOING. There seems to be no where to go from here . . . but, up, up and away ♥🙏⚡🦇👍👍
CGI aside, I give it an 8. There is one thing they can do with their multiverse that I really would like to see. The idea of a Kryptonian Earth in a multiverse with General Zod as the lead? Perfect for a Henry Cavil’s Superman and Zod rematch…. Oh, wait…. I forgot…. Dang.
Yo been a fan of you for years, and I finally found your secret. Shuffle-T, round 1, Bad Bars. I’m leaving it at that ;) cheers dude! Maybe I’ll see you at a battle! Love your videos 🤘🏻
@1:54 Keaton Batman in The Flash is THOMAS Wayme NOT Burton's Bruce 3 proofs: 1) @3:12 Batman touched boy in the photo not the parents 2) When Barry confessed why he went back in time, Batman was making face while saying "well sure, I lost my parents" (can't remember the exact line" 3) Bstman NEVER confirms in the entire movie that he is Bruce, he just lets Barry call him by that name

I just hope the film gets better ticket sales so we can get a sequel (by that time I hope they'll have more time for post-production)
I dont think there will be a sequel mate, ever.
Props to you for leaving the personal lives of the actors out of your review....as it should be but your efforts aren't unnoticed. Thanks.
Thank you for your humorous, honest and thoughtful reviews. I can always look forward to your breakdowns and theory time... theory time.. theory time
It was an awesome movies, and I am not bothered by some of the cheesy CGI. I agree multiverse has been done on multiple movies, but the Flash took a different approach that I have not heard about before. It’s always been a straight shot alternate time branch. The Christopher Reeve scene was awesome, as I grew up watching these versions a a youth. I don’t consider it a bad thing. This is a great movie. I’ll watch it again.
I feel the exact same way. I gave it a 7.5. One thing I liked is how they explained the multiverse. I think they explained it better than marvel.
Appreciate the great work, Paul !
i think george clooney will make a good new older badman. he can play the same role keaton would have. a nick fury type role.. i think clooney knows what not to do now and im kinda glad he can have a shot at the cowl again..not as good as if it were keaton but ill take it
If he is going to be an older batman in the dcu, it would be nice if he wore the batman beyond suit to show his final 5 to 8 years as batman before he retires to set up the batman beyond movie franchise. Keaton or clooney, that arc from the dcu to the batman beyond franchise could be a 5 to 7 movie arc. Better start setting it up before either of these guys drop dead like chadwick and the black panther franchise gets emasculated.
I think Gunn wouldn't touch anything and leave everything as it is now but use THE IDEA that Barry's time travel change things in every universe , like in that earth Barry is now Aquaman is same but not the Batman
so in that same way in Gunn's new DC universe some old characters will look the same but many characters would be different...
@@tigerlancer agreed. and im so happy they didnt replace superman with supergirl for good..anytime a superhero movie comes out im always worried they are gona do a gender or race change for no reason except to seem woke...soon there will be no white male superheros left
@@dustincongello5802 I agree with you with regards to token diversity just for the hell of it, but the last line really makes you come off as an abject moron, dude.
There was literally only one female character in this movie who had almost no character development or lines. Every single other hero in this movie, including _all_ the cameos, was white+male. Check yourself, mate.
I doubt it I think it’s a throwaway joke and DC is gonna be rebooted
Out of the theater I had this movie at an 8/10. However the more I think about it the more it’s growing on me. It may be my 2nd favorite DCEU movie behind Man of Steel. Had a heckuva time with this movie
Not throwing shade on the guy
*threw literal shades on him” lmfao 12:39
Slap in the face to the Flash point comic. Good thing I watched it online an saved my money
They weren’t adapting Flashpoint they only took inspiration from it.. they do this with every CBM
@@firstlast9846True however I agree. You can take inspiration but still have some of the aspects but this, the only inspiration or identical part is Barry saving his mom an then she’s dead by the end. Complete crap. Maybe movies should start being faithful instead of the inspiration. Would of been better film if they had Thomas Wayne, reverse flash, Amazon an Atlantis war. To me had they even just had reverse flash cameo would made it better. However I agree this is a joke an slap in the face.
They just took ideas from flashpoint. Its inspired, not an adaptation
Where’d you watch it if I may ask👀
me too
Love this channel
I was so afraid after all that stuff with Ezra Miller went down that this movie was never going to be released. I am so relieved & happy it’s finally in theaters to see.
Did horrible in theaters just like people knew. DC should have known better in this me to era, bad decisions is killing them.
@@jasonhallowsworth6889yup superhero movies are a joke today
I saw the movie last night and instantly came here. Thanks for filling in the gaps for me Paul! Hitting the like and commenting before I finish watching. As quick as the Flash himself👍✌️
Saw the clip last night post movie; I say Aquaman like you do and I have an accent too! 🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺
The Flash should NOT be dark. Whether it's Barry or Wally, Flash should be about redemption, friends and family, fun, and running faster than he's ever run before. Yes, Batman brings the darkness but Flash should be the light to counter the dark. And Batman really is the only one who should be dark in the DC main roster.
You must have not seen the animated version😅
The flash is dark,what are you on about his origin is sad asf
@@ivansanchez4993 Yeah but Barry was literally a blue lantern, he embodies hope, and part of that is optimism even in the midst of depressing times. Tonally the Flash is a lot like Spider-man, sure there are dark things that happen, and the hero struggles, but there's a lot of levity and sometimes camp
A tin of tomatoes changed the balance of the timeline and spaghetti represents the multiverse... I love it
the flash was for sure worth the wait...i think so. i couldnt stop smiling the whole time..even the emotional parts i still had a cheese smile across my face from whatever cool thing happened before..best easter egg, the jokers laugh bag
Samee
Another great one my boy 🔥🔥
Aquaman finding a small ditch better than a couch was the best.
Excellent use of that clip from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Excuse me while I go die of laughter 🤣💀
No Grant Gustin is the biggest miss ever! Literally the only cameo we wanted
he wasn't available dude they said it many times that's why they got jay gerrick
@TheEandIShow fuck that you wait til he's available or you get old footage of him running by real quick other shows have done it. He's been the Flash longer than anyone else you put him in the movie not the fake Jay Garrick. He was Zoom in the show so it didn't even make sense
@@TheEandIShow all they had to do was play that scene from crisis word for word bar for bar
hold up he's not the only actor who played a role in DC that wasnt shown in the movie, there's also Brandon Routh, Henry. Grant Gustin possibly show up if there's a sequel knowing Elseworld exist
@Mike.2004 no but it's a FLASH movie it just makes the most sense to put the longest running person to play him & he's probably the reason most newer ppl even know who the flash is. It's a fumble
Thanks for keeping it real Paul. Worthy of a like button smash
I think with good writing George Clooney will make a great older batman!!
He’s not playing batman
@@savageboyjohn who is?
yer a GIANT nerd, and I'm here for it. LOL. Love your stuff
The suggestion that the Clooney Batman is now canon and that he might be rebooting his role makes me sad ☹️
Yeah the movie was really good but they really should have kept Keaton as the Batman who shows up at the end.
They’d be crazy to give Clooney another shot, he damn killed the franchise the first go round
Great video... But it's times like this that I'm glad I'm not a movie critic and can enjoy this film for what it is.. ❤❤💯
The Flashpoint comic, and Flashpoint animations were both absolutely amazing. I wish they would have kept it closer to the source material. But whatever, maybe someday.
Maybe they tried but after going back in time to fix it, they just accepted it and it's a lesson to let it go lol
@@FindingMyself90 lol.
Nice Cameos
Dang so Zod killed martian manhunter with a simple throat slit, I didn't realize while I was watching that that was him
Significa que no era martian manhunter en ese universo
@@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511
Buen punto.

I'm Pretty Sure That New "Bat-Cycle" or "Bat-Pod", is a DODGE TomaHawk V-10 MotorBike.🤔
This sh*t gonna blow at box office. After all, it has everything DC fans have been asking for since Man of Steel 😂
I'm really happy for them.
Nah this movie won't surpass 500mil
@@daredevil2819 😬
Great review as always
I think if the CGI was better for Christopher’s scene it would have been beautiful, because to me, he is the Superman I grew up with so for them to have everyone and not include him would have probably made people upset. I just wish it looked better.
its upsetting because its disgraceful and tactless
@@NIGHTGUYRYAN I can understand how you would feel that way. I don’t feel everyone has to feel the same as me, have a good day!☺️
I totally agreed. Not just Christopher's scene, even the rest wasn't looking great. It was very obvious they did CG them.
Thanks for the info
I think Clooney being at the end means there’s not gonna be a Flash 2 in the DCU.
What about Aquaman at the end? What does that mean?
@@amy_yoshikawa means The Flash happens before the events of Aquaman and that they're on the same universe
@@SkiperEdits i see🤔🤔🤔 okay kinda made sense now. Thanks!
@@SkiperEdits Again, what about the Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom movie thats coming this December? Does that mean that will be the last of Aquaman we ever see since it was from the same universe as The Flash?
I gave it a 8.5. Glad my review was on par with yours🙌🏿
I had such a fun time watching The Flash.
So excited for the future with James Gunn im so confused 😂.
I even thought Ezra Miller was great (yeh ik he might’ve done a bad thing)
I love this channel and your accent lol listen the first time a dead actor came on screen was on twilight zone I can't remember the name of the show but I think it's with sorry forgive me brain storm is a big Italian actor lol it up pls
That was my favorite comic book movie ever. Lots of great references to Flashpoint, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Red Sun, etc, great direction, great cameos, and awesome action.
Cheers Paul. ⚡️
My favourite part was seeing Chris and Helen together as they did try to do in the 1984 Supergirl.
Thanks Paul!
How do you do a Flash movie loosely based on Flashpoint, and have a second Barry Allen dressed in yellow, and NOT have him be Reverse Flash?!
Facts thts my only real complaint besides the cut character arc/development with batman with the whole Letter from his dad stuff really wanted dean and Reverse flash in this movie Anthony star would of killed it
I liked it and loved the Chris Reeve cameo, too.
Jon Jon's wouldn't die from a simple stab wound. He would have should have came back and revealed himself. His only weakness/fear is fire
Maybe 🤔 it wasn't jon right there,maybe after
@@davidthirugnanakumar7888 it was always Jon he just reveals himself after that event
THANKS for this!!!!
I absolutely loved it! The CGI was pretty janky at times but it's fine. I just hope it gets polished for the online/blu-ray releases (and no undermining the staff please DC) and I wish we got to see Michelle's Catwoman here 🥲😭 It was a blast seeing everyone here and I really had fun watching it 💛❤⚡ It's a shame the og cast will be trplacef though...still looking forward to the future of the new DCEU 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
😂 fine 😂 litteraly the baby scenes are way worse than the modok CGI
@@davidthirugnanakumar7888 this is in my own opinion and give the VFX team a break 🙃 I know this should have been polished before releasing it BUT it didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the film 🙂👍🏻
Beautiful movie 🍿
this movie was amazing, regardless of the drama surrounding ezra miller, I loved him in this movie even in the justice league movies. Probably my favorite flash just because of how he is on screen, the movie was amazing and i was enjoyable to watch and I hope we get to see more of sasha's supergirl and I am so confused on the ending because I don't even know who that batman was.
no it was not
@@DermotBrophy It really was
Absolutely 💯 amazing
The sad part is, I actually think Ezra Miller is a good actor. Just like him having to act with himself. That's not easy. It's hard to overcome what has happened in HIS personal life. Not their haha
24:37 There was drones? nice
The CGI was so bad at parts that I’m convinced it was a stylistic choice to make it sort of cartoon like. CGI Nic Cage was brilliant! His superman movie would have sucked badly had it ever been released, but it sort of worked in an elseworlds sort of way in this one.
Definitely a stylized choice. They wanted it to look like a moving comic book.
Even if it was a stylistic choice, it still looked weird at times and that's not a good thing.
@@amy_yoshikawa They may further improve it for its digital release in a few months time.
@@peterlenham3180 Okay!
I agree with this review.
One thing confuses me, just because his dad didn’t leave to go to the store, why does that mean his mom doesn’t die? Reverse Flash still would have shown up you’d think.
I hate how they didnt address the actual murder.
They said the robber came in the house because they thought it was empty once they saw the dad leave.
@@sunnyday918 I’d like to see it rather than be told
@Focus Scrub a good story is to don't show but tell, maybe they left it open for reverse flash
Bingo. You would be great at cinema sins and pitch meeting
I love the 1989 Batman puns
Also, if anyone questions why Young Barry dying, who I named Kid Flash, doesn't kill our Barry, it's because he's an entirely different person.
Our Barry essentially traveled to an alternate timeline. Think of it like our Barry jumped to the KeatonVerse, where a version of him is still the Flash, yet it's a different Barry than ours.
Young Barry dying killed Dark Flash because Young Barry was the younger version of Dark Flash and our Barry is from a separate timeline where events have already played out, whereas the events of The Flash directly result in Young Barry becoming Dark Flash.
Time travel is confusing, but it's pretty simple when you break it down. Just wanted to explain this briefly because there's already some confusion about why Young Barry dying didn't erase our Barry.
But the plot of the flash movie would not have happened if Dark Flash didn’t push Barry into the timeline, so it’s a paradox. Am I wrong? I’m not trying to argue just so confused and need further explaining
good review. i liked the movie.
You literally put shades on Michael Shannon ab 3 seconds before saying you weren't throwing shade 😅
Not interested in Ezra’s version of Barry but I love your breakdowns! Might catch it at some point on streaming but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go see this.
Update: My husband wanted to see it and I’m at the theater now lol 😂 it’s ok so far.
Imax screening rocked!!
Glad you enjoyed but as a adult who stands by his morals I will not be going to see and support this film I'm more than capable of sacrificing a couple hours of Make-Believe superhero action 🤷♂️ still waiting for Ezra get fired though
yeah thats fair enough, no hard feelings here and hopefully you get why we covered it for the channel
@@heavyspoilers or course dude🤟🍻 trust me I wish I felt otherwise because before all that drama I was a fan of what Snyder had done with the character and Wanted to see more🤷♂️🍻
@atfbproductions7458 I really hope you know that nobody at the studio including Ezra since he's already been paid, will care about your 7$ movie ticket 🤣
Its honestly laughable how people think they're going to make a difference by trying to feed the leftist side. We both know deep down you literally don't care
@@loavy4007 They DO care lol, if this movie flop then we know for sure who is not gonna be in the future journey
@@Sonmmmxuan Doesn't matter. Separate the movie from the actor. I'm going to see "The Flash" not a ezra miller recap movie. If you want to be retarded, then be my guest. Its honestly such a dumb take how you think your actions will do anything.
Thank you
Thank you for confirming this movie is not worth the price of admission. I'll wait to watch on Max in the fall 🤙
Correct 👌
I know it’s been some months and most forgot, but this was already the death blow.
Jason back, but not lobo, his old role while other actors simply been cut because of personal favors with poor excuses like “too old”.
How you get that from watching this? He literally says he’d give it a 8/10
I'd give it an 8/10 as well
No one cares bro watch it don’t no one cares
@@daivonwilson7960 me too
I can watch this film on repeat!
[ jokers bag of laughter ]
Being a huge flash fan... The cgi took me way out😢 i also don't understand why they couldn't make Ezra double up on the scenes... You can tell when they deep faked his face
Saw it last night. I was happy to see Keaton Batman again on the big screen as he’s the one I grew up on. I don’t think he’s the same one from the burton movies but it was sad seeing him die but at least he did his thing going out a hero. Supergirl on the hand I liked a lot but I think they made her weak. She threw a bunch of punches and it didn’t do much to Zod which all he did was throw one double punch and it was over for her. All Barry had to do was warn her of his knife thingy. Other than that it was a solid film. Great performance from Ezra despite his off screen issues. Def won’t be seeing him again.
Thanks for this footnote to your video yesterday. Much more understandable. I'm still not sure I will see it, but I'm still bothered with all the justification for destroying the presence of Henry Cavill, but HEY, it is what it is . . . KEEP GOING. There seems to be no where to go from here . . . but, up, up and away ♥🙏⚡🦇👍👍
I really enjoyed it
Im gonna be really depressed if yall support miller. Like i cant even watch this. Love the page but not anyone supporting this movie
Miller is a disgusting. WB's refusal to dump him is a huge slap in the face to the people he hurt. Hollywood really does love its monsters.
Miller is disgusting, but I didn't go for him, I went for the flash, and the others that worked on the movie and deserves credit
👏 thank you for being honest with your review. I also agree with Ezra Miller acting, he killed it. 👍
CGI aside, I give it an 8. There is one thing they can do with their multiverse that I really would like to see. The idea of a Kryptonian Earth in a multiverse with General Zod as the lead? Perfect for a Henry Cavil’s Superman and Zod rematch…. Oh, wait…. I forgot…. Dang.
Bad VFX isnt really due to the money. It's the amount of time they give VFX companies before the release.
Thank you.
Yo been a fan of you for years, and I finally found your secret. Shuffle-T, round 1, Bad Bars. I’m leaving it at that ;) cheers dude! Maybe I’ll see you at a battle! Love your videos 🤘🏻
Hahha cheers man
I didn’t know about Savitar, and was pleasantly surprised
I just watched it today and I agree it's really good of a movie.
@1:54 Keaton Batman in The Flash is THOMAS Wayme NOT Burton's Bruce
3 proofs:
1) @3:12 Batman touched boy in the photo not the parents
2) When Barry confessed why he went back in time, Batman was making face while saying "well sure, I lost my parents" (can't remember the exact line"
3) Bstman NEVER confirms in the entire movie that he is Bruce, he just lets Barry call him by that name
