Review of The Flash (2023) by Notacritik — 21 Jul 2023

Man, Just finished watching it for the second time and holy **** its awful. The CGI and the way characters moved look so floaty and cartoony. The first 20 minutes were so cringy (Joostice league cringy).

I was looking forward to Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck's cameo, but of course its a stupid joke. Michael Keaton's batman was good but his writing was horrible. The only other non batman scene that I enjoyed was when Supergirl saves the helicopter and Zods walks through it.

.. We finally get a Flash movie after 9 years of development and this is what they have to show. 50 scripts later, thousands of reshoots later lol. Don't waste your time and money especially if you are a fan of the flash and DC as a whole.

If you enjoyed this film I'm legitimately happy for you. You're obviously not a fan of these characters or there source material to understand why this movie is dreadful but hey to each there own. WB will make more money selling the rights to DC than making mediocre movies.

I honestly feel bad for the directors and crew that have worked with WB on their DCEU. Good luck to James Gunn but I personally don't care for any upcoming DC film besides The Batman. I am a bigger fan of DC over Marvel but honestly both company are making a mockery of themselves at the moment.

If you ever feel like watching a flash movie just go watch Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. Its basically the same story but better written.
