    The Writer's Strike is so confusing from the Studios perspective. For an average production, writing costs 2-5% of the production budget (so pre-advertising), for bigger budget projects, the writers often are under 1% of the production budget. The amount of money that the strike has cost the studios already _far_ exceeds Writer's Guild demands, yet the studios don't seem to watch to budge at all. They're cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

      The scream happened before Barry's dad walked in, but the problem is that Barry's dad returned home close enough to the killing. So regardless of whether his face showed up on the CCTV or not, he could have returned home in time to kill the mom. Proving that the dad was at the store doesn't prove that he couldn't be home in time to kill the mom.

      Agreed. Not very familiar with or a big fan of any previous incarnations of the character. Also not nostalgic about Keaton Batman. So I had a pretty good time with the film. The thin. That hurts this film the most is that the multiverse has already been done better in a couple of movies so nothing about this one stands out. Decent but pretty forgettable.

The cgi, the weird cameos and the leaks definitely sucked and likely were a big part of the backlash, but I thought it had some highlights and some fun (Supergirl and Keaton being the best parts). I wonder if when they put in the work on some of the cgi, it looked worse than the rest and they decided “fuck it. Let’s just make it all look equally bad so that worse bit isn’t as jarring”

    My biggest gripes with the film were:
    -No Flash Villains. (Not even Thawne),
    -Weird CGI where it wasn't needed.
    -No one has taught Ezra how to run yet.
    -So they show different earths colliding, and not one is Grant Gustin or John Wesley Ship? But several are Superman? And a generic Jay Garrick who may or may not be Teddy Sears.
    That said, I still enjoyed it. There are just a few things I'd have changed, without changing the plot much. Thawne would be involved, Flash fights a Flash Villain at the start, lets go with the Trickster (Mark Hamill of course). Show the other Flashes in the Multiverse. Actually use the actors in scenes where CGI isn't needed. Show Noras Death, Yellow Suited man and all.

    I think it's quite appropriate that the DCEU ended as it began - playing catch-up to Marvel properties that did it better, first.
    We did enjoy it though (even my mate who is pretty much 'done' with comic book movies) but I will say that it absolutely isn't what I would have done for the Flash's first solo outing.
    I was a bit disappointed that the nods towards the new DCU were practically non-existent. I think they should just clean house at the moment and start the DCU fresh. Always did, to be honest, but I'm even more convinced now.

    Re: Letters section and tattoos. My lower legs are covered in Star Wars tattoos and I've recently started on a Disney+ theme for my thighs so I can add more Marvel and Muppet things there. I've been struggling for knee themed tattoos. I had a Dis-knee already lined up. Knee-3P0 is amazing and I now plan to steal this idea. Thank you!

    I loved The Flash. It's sense of humour was fun, I liked all the actors and I got a kick out of all the cameos. I couldn't stand any of the other multiverse films but this was fun. Supergirl's instant grasp of powers was played exactly the same as Zod's were in Man of Steel. I've hated most films in the DCEU but this was a cool way to bow out.

    Young Einstein is kind of like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but with inventors/scientists, has some beautiful shots of the country, a great soundtrack with Icehouse, Models, Paul Kelly, Big Pig and Mental as Anything covering The Beatles, and a lovely cast.

    While “No Way Home” has better villains, Flash has a better plot device and reasoning for changing the timeline. Trying to save your murdered mom is much better than fixing it so ppl don’t know your identity and screw it up so your gf remembers.

    Hello, I understand this may not be the proper traditional venue for this, I'm a huge fan of the show, and the idea to post this here just kinda came to me. Imdb has deleted my review of this film on a very vague basis, and call me crazy but it seems like there's an attempt to bury any criticism of this "movie". Anywho, here's what imdb thought was inappropriate. Thank you in advance if ya actually read it. Cheers.
    I never thought I'd actually do this. I've seen many movies in recent years that were terrible, and I flirted with the idea of maybe typing up my thoughts to share with others, but ultimately always found an excuse not to. Not enough time, everyone's pretty much saying the same thing, not a lot to say beyond "it's bad", etc.
    But this is the one that did it. And honestly, I would've never predicted that.
    To sum up my feelings of the dceu is fairly easy. It's a mess. Whether you love it or hate it. You know it's a mess. Constantly course correcting. Absolutely no faith in their creators, characters or story telling decisions. Everything from Batman vs Superman onward has been one dramatic behind the scenes turn to the next. A flagship with no charted course. Not even a destination in mind. Both versions of Superfriends being the absolute nadir.
    Until we get to this load. I don't have any real interest in the allegations against Ezra Miller, honestly if the fact show business is loaded with perverts, degenerates, pederasts, etc. Is news to you, then I'd love to know what rock you crawled out from under. It must be nice there.
    Since the first version of Superfriends, I've hated this guy. The worst version of twerpy dork awkward guy humor. We've all seen it a thousand times. It's nothing new whether you like it or not and I understand mileage will vary person to person. But I can't stand this gas bag. His portrayal is a pathetic mishmash of Reynold's Deadpool and earnest nerdy Peter Parker. Only even more juvenile than the worst that Van Wilder has to offer.
    Like me, you mighta been kinda duped into seeing this because you're a 90's kid and ya love Keaton Batman. Well... I'm sorry to say that while Mr. K does his best to bring a bit of his unique weird charm to the character that he brought to Burton's films, this isn't the same character. Or rather, it's like a podperson version of '89 Batman. He says the lines, "I'm Batman.", "Let's get nuts.", but they're delivered strictly because they're callbacks. There's no emotion behind these readings. And you can tell Michael Keaton thinks it's all rather stupid. That's not the worst part.
    There's a reason Burton photographed Batman in the dark, at night, amongst the shadows, often in silhouette. And that's because Keaton's look doesn't work when you divorce him from that context. Burton's Gotham is entirely absent from the film, and thus Batman (Keaton's version) looks more like one of the players from the cw arrowverse, then he does the avenging caped crusader from your childhood. All of the gothic ambiance is gone, thus so is Batman's mystique.
    Supergirl. She could've been awesome. Actually love the suit. The actress didn't offend me. Good for her. Wished she'd actually gotten a role.
    Poor Micahel Shannon doesn't even want to be there. You can tell. He's all but said as much in press material leading up to this film's release. It's quite apparent. And just sad to watch. Like Keaton, it's the pale imitation of something that once held so much passion and energetic creativity. But now lies truly dead. A wraith propped up for the audience to collect more capital and dance the number everyone knows.
    The depiction of the time travel/speed force was bafflingly awful. It's styled in the shape of a Roman coliseum for some stupid reason and the cgi (as noted by many others) is polar express - level bad. The twist that the creature (darkflash) is actually Barry isn't a shock to anyone that's seen a movie before let alone actually familiar with the source material.
    The climactic battle as seen in the trailers is deflated and lame. Man of Steel had a more bombastic ending than this and that was a decade ago. Most of the fight is spent with 2 versions of Ezra Miller (God help me) bantering and reciting jokes that Reynolds crumpled up and discarded over his shoulder. Supergirl doesn't do much except die. Batman flies around a bit. Then also dies.
    I forgot to mention that the whole story hinges on a can of tomatoes. Perhaps it's just me, but something about that is just excessively stupid. A bad joke.
    And that's ultimately what this movie ended up being to me. A bad joke, told poorly. For 2 hours straight.

There's a good story in there somewhere but it's too far in there for me to care. I did like Sasha Calle as Supergirl though, I would like to see her again.

    Andy Muschietti can't be blamed for The Flash. I look forward to him doing the Bat-Family with Brave and the Bold because he did very well with group dynamics in the IT films. BUT... holy crappidy crap-crap The Flash has too much external and internal problems fighting it from being able to be as decent as it is, saved only by the 2nd act and then right back to absolute dogshit. I hope James Gunn pitched him Batman like, "Hey, you got shafted and we both know it. Want to try again and do it your way?"

    What if in Aquaman 2, it starts with Bwn Affleck in the beginning switches to Michael Keaton in the middle, then ends with George Clooney. Implying that it coincides with the flash movie lmao.

    I thought it was on par with No Way Home (being completely fine and not as good as everyone was claiming it to be). I was personally more entertained by this because of how unapologetically weird it got (which I did not expect coming off reading or watching reviews for this before seeing it) and making me laugh a couple of times (unlike NWH which gave me none). This felt like it had a style and voice to it unlike NWH (especially when mixing a previous filmmaker’s take on the character or world with something different).

    I enjoyed the flash so much, and as a non-comic reader my girlfriend said she absolutely loved the movie. The intro slapped, so many scenes had me in stitches and that was the best side by side same actor cgi I’ve ever seen.
    Ezra cringe acting does sometime make you breathe hot air out of your nose but damn I enjoyed it.
    The family stuff had me almost tearing up, Keaton, Affleck, Calle were great.
    Shame they chose the cameos that they did, dead actors over alive ones who’d probs be happy to feature. Loved a certain someone fighting a spider 😂

    Harrison Ford is from a generation where he got to work with visionary directors who knew how to get the best out of his limited range, as opposed to journeyman directors who helm most of today's major films. Plus, he's like 70-odd and clearly hasn't given a shit since the 90s.
