I can't believe there was a year where statistically speaking, you were more likely to get assaulted by Ezra Miller than getting killed by a shark.
Man, that's a huge fear of mine. Their dead eyes, the unpredictability of their attacks
Don't mind sharks, though
@@bloodyneptuneImage how much scarier jaws would be if they replace the shark with Esra Miller
@@bloodyneptunea huge fear? He's just a guy, you could literally fight him and probably win
@@mister_vulgarbut he's the flash
how many people did he assault? and what shark number are you basing that on?
Let's be honest, he made this video because Nicholas Cage is in it for 10 seconds
Lmao u stole my thoughts and made it into words before I could 😂
He did lol
Yup he'll make another video when Nicolas Cage shows up as Ghost Rider in secret wars
He is?? No shit?
Nic Cage? Nah bro that was Nic Cardboard Box
About Batfleck having the old Batman neck problem in this movie, it's easy to explain. He's filming a movie with Ezra Miller, so he got some extra neck protection just in case

The "hacking" gets even stupider when you realize that... only Barry is moving at superspeed. The computer isn't.
It can neither recognize nor process any of the inputs he's making. As far as it is concerned someone just pressed the entire keyboard at once.
It's really the least of the Flash ability problems.
Simply touching a key on a keyboard at those speeds would obliterate the keyboard (it would be like shooting it except the bullet is travelling much much much faster).
Moving a person at even a fraction of his blurry speed would snap all the connections of your body, squeeze your guts out your mouth/rear and likely remove all your limbs/head.
Realistically when he moves somebody at super speed you should see their head/arms/legs remain where they are, their torso being horrifically compressed, blood and guts squirting out both ends and just a mangled mess.
If he's moving at even just highway speed most of this would still happen.
Considering people supposedly get sick and whatever when being moved by him at super speed it seems to imply that they aren't protected by his power but if they were actually getting sick from being protected by his power than I guess that could also allow a computer to function at super speed as well.
fun fact:
the screaming nurse was not scripted
the actress was actually terrified when she saw Ezra Miller
What I'm wondering about is how the fck those rows of babies stayed in place on that bed while Barry is pushing it in the speed of light. and how the fck does their bones not break from the initial explosion.
IF THAT'S TRUE, makes the "I'm walking here" improve look more scripted than a Dhar Mann video.
I see this comment on every Flash review....

The fact Ezra Miller still works in Hollywood and played as Flash despite all the controversies is insane
to be fair they filmed all his scenes before the situation
Yea the movie was already made long before all the crazy shit happened pretty sure
Ezra didn't commit any no no crimes against people more famous.
we live in a time when rich people do whatever they want and no one cares
They/them privilege
Ezra Miller had a BRILLIANT career in front of him, with open arms, saying 'come to me baby'. He got that chance, spat on it, kick it, killed it, then pissed on it's grave. It's honestly impressive.
Miller has serious mental health problems.
It was irresponsible of Warner Bros to continue using him without insisting he received professional care, or at least monitoring.
@@neilgodwin6531 dude, like he HAVE TO BE MONITORED.
I don't really care or follow western movies, what happened?
@@jcman-lp6lglook up TH-camr spatnz, he made a video on the situation. But Ezra has a lot of allegations against him and is not a decent human being.
@@jcman-lp6lgthen why you wanna know what happened nosey fuck
Actually, the fact that Bruce didn't want to get something to eat with Barry after the latter confided in him was the most agregious thing to me when I first watched it; not only would Bruce be absolutely scared about fucking up the timeline, but Bruce is the one person that would be able to resonate with Barry to save PARENTS.
Legit this comment made a better script in one paragraph than the writers and directors did in the years that were developing this movie
EXACTLY. Batman should have tried everything to talk Barry out of it, using both his care and his logic. And when, and only when all of that fails, should he resign to let Barry try- but not before making Barry promise that if things go south, he will find a way to make everything right again.
Much better motivation than his mom mis-explaining a math problem.
@@RuosongGao plus the events of Barry saving his mom led to so many conflicts like war between the amazons and the Atlanteans, Wonder Women killing Aquaman’s wife Mera, Instead of Bruce Wayne the only one living and becomes Batman, it was Thomas Wayne who becomes Batman, losing his son and wife that night and becomes the Batman that kills and uses lethal weapons, and lastly, using atom man as a nuke of destruction. I don’t get why they didn’t take the aspects of flashpoint and make it better
They used CGI to revive a old actor that literally took his own life because of his role as Superman, to do, exactly that, play Superman.
That is f* cked up
But hey money 💰
Who?
Not that far in the video yet.
Edit: George Reeves
@@concept5631 George reeves shot himself in the head. His fiancée claimed he killed himself due to depression caused by his "failed career" and inability to find more work. But looking at the circumstances around his s*icide, body and crime scene, it's not impossible for him to have been killed and then framed as a s*icide
@@concept5631 Idk if he mentions it in the review, but in the movie its the superman in blakc and white that appears right before the first Flash.
sounds like something that would happen in an episode of Black Mirror like Technology makes it so you can't escape playing a Role not even in death.
Let’s admit it, this movie was dead on the spot when Erza Miller was attached to it.💀
You mean “dead on arrival”
@MashaRistova it was dead before it arrived
Honestly I liked it since I grew up with a dead dad. I would’ve done the same barry did jush to see and hear his voice. I cried at the end of that movie
I thought the movie was gonna do a little bit better due to batman nostalgia ngl. If flash flopped this bad bc of Ezra I can only IMAGINE how much aquaman 2 is about to flop bc of Amber lol
@@alex_thegreatt07av71objectively a very okay film but the Ezra effect was way too powerful. I cried as well
Honestly I’m surprised that it took the film industry so long to discover that they can launder $200mil+ by creating an utterly lazy movie and STILL make millions on top of that.
Since the filmmakers were so obsessed with horrible CGI/AI, they could have just inserted young Ezra from "We Need to Talk About Kevin" for the flashbacks.
Thank you for reviewing this, Elvis; I would never actually watch the movie, but you always make me laugh
Why the "CGI/AI" ? CGI and Ai are completely different technologies.
Because both were used, not just one.@@M_k-zi3tn
@@M_k-zi3tnAI is being used (still rather covertly) to mitigate costs for vfx artists, and to pump out movies faster. It’s complex and difficult to detect through this medium (aside from blatantly obvious examples like The Flash) though I wouldn’t be surprised if ChatGPT is responsible for half the dialogue in this movie as well, as well as Disneys’ recent films.
As a huge Flash fan, it made me happy that this movie HARD FLOPPED solely because Ezra was in it. I don't want him in anything Flash related again
Dude just because one actor is in it you don't like doesn't Kwan its the worst movie in the world just because of the drama doesn't mean he isn't a good Barry Allan
@@ethanbishop802no its because ezra millers is literally human garbage and doesn’t deserve to play a character as revered as the flash when you your self are a terrible human being in real life

Gotta admit, Elvis has a good point when it comes to Bruce brushing off Barry's emotional turmoil and possible plans to use his powers to alter the past.
The Bruce from the Justice League cartoon would have absolutely made time for his friend, _especially_ if there was the threat of timeline altering consequences.
This is the same Bruce that was willing to kill Superman over a hypothetical 1% chance. We're supposed to believe that the man that discovered the potential of kryptonite wouldn't be able to deduce that the emotionally unstable Barry might do something stupid?
@@lordtopsy5666 Yeah, sure, but there's no way to defend that understanding with the _movie_ lol.
Comics Bruce is not just a better detective, but a better realized character in general. Comics Bruce understands shit that the movie writers could never hope to convey.
@@josephschultz3301 I was agreeing with you. The DCEU version of Batman was/is remarkably stupid.
@@lordtopsy5666Ah, got'cha. My bad.
I just find it very frustrating that Batman is supposed to be this genius-level detective, as well as a good friend, but the DCEU constantly has him act like a dumbass and miss the most obvious emotional cues in the world.
How is it _that_ hard to write a smart character?
@@josephschultz3301 they have to make him incompetent to a certain degree so that other characters can shine. It's kind of an obvious tell they had some amateur writers doing the rewrites on the script. Because the Flash is written so weakly if they made Batman actually be like Batman it would just become a Batman movie. Which it still did become a Batman movie because the Flash is written so weakly that even the worst depiction of Batman is still more entertaining to watch.
It's also funny how after the lightning struck 2 Ezras, the old one lost his healing ability so it makes no sense that he's still alive at all. They even showed us the damage done to the new Ezra's body.
They shared the voltage and amps… you can survive a lightning strike you can definitely survive half of one
People survive lightning strikes sometimes, the damage is extensive sometimes but they still don't die.
“She could report that barry is an unstable mentally ill person” well thats true both in the movie and in real life.
It was so bad he wanted to punch his younger self.
You could say that he is Barry Ill
I honestly loved the guy jumping out after seeing Batman, reminded me of that animated scene where the henchmen checks a room, sees batman and closes the door like nothing happened, lol
Same energy as (sees batman "I Quit!")
I rather die than live the rest of my life as a bag of broken bones.
Batman would've chosen to grab the bite with Barry, knowing there was a possibility that Barry would have done something stupid like this. But even aside from that, Bruce is one if the most compassionate characters in the DC universe. There was one moment in the DCAU where Bruce chose to sit down with a dying young girl, and stayed with her until she passed. Bruce would have 100% taken that bite with Barry, even if there wasn't any timeline shenanigans at play, just because he is that much of a compassionate person.
He can vibrate through solid objects even whilst carrying items without damaging them due to the “Speed Force Aura”. It protects the Flash and whatever he’s carrying from burning alive from friction, it prevents him from completely leveling cities when he runs, etc. and is just a means for the comic writers to explain physics away. LOL Still, the Flash will always be my fave DC character, despite some of the corniness.
did Elvis also forget that Barry phased through the explosion in the Snyder cut justice league? I don't get how he talks about it like some new thing the directors came up with since its been a thing since the early comic books, the flash series had multiple episodes about Barry learning to phase through wall to phasing an entire train with him as well
@@giuk1987 He showed clips and even added an on-screen caption to clarify it existed in other things too. His point was that it's stupid.
@@giuk1987 1. Snyder cut was not canon to this movie.
2. Comics, shows and movies are entirely separate media; the audience for movies should not be required to have information derived from any other storytelling media, unless it is made explicit - and clearly this movie appeals to those who've seen old movies, not comics -, otherwise, it'll just confuse said audience and make the movie overall less enjoyable.
3. Elvis just said it's stupid. Something is not less stupid in an adaptation just because it is accurate to its source.
4. I do think it's a weird line to draw when basically all of physics is defenestrated when talking about superheroes, so no real logic can be applied to begin with. Though, his point about _what_ Flash phases through still stands because it's inconsistent in the movie, and, although I can accept nonsensical rules, I do take issues with their inconsistencies.
My boyfriend showed me this movie a few weeks ago and I don't think I ever laughed so hard as I did when I first saw Barry run. I was so confused, as I was the entire movie, 11/10
I wanna show my partner this movie so bad but he won't watch it because 1 Ezra and 2 I've gone on and on about how bad it is but it's worth the watch just to laugh at how bad it is. I can't believe there was a time where we thought this could be good
LOLOLOLOL best review yet
@@JakeyisdeadI'd pirate it. Love laughing at bad movies, can be sucha bonding experience 😄 hope you convince him eventually
Plot twist. There is no boyfriend
@@Jakeyisdead It's a great movie.
It made me kind of sick that after all he's done, Ezra Miller still got to be the star of a movie this big. The fact that it's bombing so hard they're turning to NFTs in desperation soothes that pain quite a bit.
I said the same thing! How is he still working on big budget movies?
@@RavenNicole89it's because movies take years to make. They film all the movie scenes before the movie trailer is released. So all the movie scenes were already filmed before his major controversies
Do your research. They basically spent over 200 mil shooting the film in 2021 and it wasn’t until the following year that his crimes were exposed.
@@RavenNicole89This movie took like 5 years to make. Way before Ezra became such a controversial figure. So when all that stuff about them came out, there was no way they could’ve removed Ezra without suffering MAJOR setbacks. And that’s how we got such wonderful phrases like „this movie will make you forget all of Ezra Miller‘s crimes“
im the next juice wrld
The "saving his mom creates a timeline where Superman doesn't exist/died" doesn't make sense, considering Superman is older than Barry (or at least similar age), which means Superman would have already landed on Earth/been a young kid by the time his mom dies/he changes the timeline.
Unless they're saying he traveled to a completely different timeline where Superman doesn't exist regardless of his time-meddling, which would mean that world is doomed to die via Zod, and saving or not saving his mom would have no affect on the outcome.
The flashpoint paradox animated movie explains it way better than this movie
Flashpoint works on a ripple effect like splashing water it moves outwards, when something moves faster then sound it creates a sonic boom that continues for miles, when Barry breaks the time barrier a ripple in time will move outwards going through past, present and future time changing everything very slightly for example in the case of flashpoint comics instead of Batman's parents dying it was Bruce and then Thomas Wayne became batman and Martha Wayne.
so it's less he traveled to a new timeline but due to breaking the time barrier the subsequent ripple changed important events in time and he created a new timeline
It's very confusing but yeah, I think it's because his actions actually "broke" the universe, basically changed that timeline he was in, forward and backwards, OR yes it just put him into a complete other dimension he isn't supposed to exist in. Those are the only ones that kind of make sense. But then it turns out Superman died as a baby? And his cousin is the super for this universe I guess, so they wind up having a superwoman instead, and so I guess she would have been the one to stop Zod in that universe if it was already meant to happen. Something like that... But damn it's confusing.
28:41 Zod basically said "it's terraforming time" lol
The animated movie, flashpoint paradox, made this concept work. The stakes were higher and seeing all your heroes kill each other made you know Barry really fucked up.
Was a lot like the original Injustice/Flashpoint plans for Snyder's Justice League 2 and 3, sucks that live action didn't adapt it properly, and we'll never get to see what could have been
@@ABadJokeYTluckily knowing the pattern that the film industry is stuck in, they’ll remake this movie in ten years.
That was and still is the true Flashpoint movie.
I like to play a game where I try and guess which Barry is CGI and which one is actually Ezra. It's shockingly easy in most scenes
im the next juice wrld
Will Smith: *loses career more or less for slapping one person
Ezra Miller: *Assaulted so many people he's considered a national threat, but still gets his movie released 💀💀💀
I don’t understand why Barry is surprised he can reverse when he LITERALLY DID IT IN THE JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE!!
The baby scene and Ezra Miller were both more than enough for me to decide never see this movie ever
The baby scene was pretty fun though.
@@Manganizationthe visuals were too awful for me, I saw most of the scene online and the CGI made me want to curl into a ball and disappear. The idea isn’t bad, the execution of the visual effects ruin it for me
The visuals are nauseating in this movie.
@@moistwrmonastring1017the whole theatre was laughing andit wasn't 'haha,funny' it was 'My god this is awful,how did this got greenlighted?'
@@shamanicdude8605GUess they laughed because it looked so bad, not because it was funny.
If you want a Flash movie that focuses on both Flash and Batman in a respective non pandering way, just go see the Flashpoint animated movie. That movie is literally a decade old and its still one of the best comic book movies ever made to this day
and is litterally the best thing the DCAMU has ever made during their run as DC main movie universe Im not counting the DCEU because they were hot garbade during the DCAMU era
I think that movie is overrated but it's definitely better than this
im the next juice wrld
@@Korra228 I respectfully disagree. Its hailed as one of the best for a reason. No offense to your opinion tho
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r I couldn't get really invested in it. Aquaman and Wonder Woman destroying the planet because someone got cheated one feels insanely unbelievable to me. They're heroes!
The beginning bit with batmans weird dialogue was because he had the lasso of truth wrapped on him.
Except you only have to respond to questions truthfully, it doesn't make you randomly blurt out whatevers in your mind lol
Batman would never said something like this. There's been plenty of times where the lasso of truth was wrapped on him, and no even a single time said a senseless like "giving money to the poor equals no more bad people"
@InevitableOption-ic2vx isn't the lasso always technically active? It's not like wonde woman has to turn it off or on, it's always glowing.
I agree it's dumb for an easy stupid joke.
@gonzalogarcia5901 Since it's a comic book character, it's entirely up to the writer how it works. Even if it's completely inconsistent with previous versions.
I remember in DCeased where superman tries to suffocate himself by flying into space... despite most modern versions of him don't need oxygen/food/water to survive. Shits kinda stupid
@InevitableOption-ic2vx guess she was screwing with him or something then. It was an easy tasteless joke by the writers who didn't care about staying in character
The “wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts.” Line is a call back from the 89 Batman. Bruce Wayne says it to Joker in Vicki vale’s apartment.
A grip I had with this movie was that in the opening, it shows Barry having this watch that keeps track of his calories which created some form of stakes during the hospital scene, but in the third act when Barry 1 and 2 keep going back in time, the watch isn't brought up again, which didn't have any stakes for the character
It also wasn't mentioned in justice league.
@@JustanotherNPC8454this is what happens when you're a money hungry Hollywood studio that just wants to make a quick buck without properly developing the characters of your franchise
It was idiotic to make crossovers before all the main characters got solo movies, the DCEU has some of the worst world building I've seen in blockbuster cinema and it makes 0 sense
It doesn't even make sense when it's introduced, he's low on calories, but after eating a few snacks at superspeed he's already at full power. So if he can refill at superspeed, does it even matter? As long as it doesn't reach 0, he can just refill in a couple of seconds and he's good to go. Such a pointless concept.
@@JustanotherNPC8454it kinda was, before they get into Bruce’s car Barry mentions that he’s like a “black hole” and has to constantly eat to stay powered up while eating a whole pizza by himself, I also remember him sometimes randomly bringing up that he was hungry
@Not to mention this would mean that Barry's body begins to metabolize and convert food to energy within seconds. So if he were to puke on someone, his stomach acid would be 10x more corrosive than Hydrocloric Acid.
The only injustice this film has is that we never find out who actually killed Barry's mom. Despite it being the entire freakin motivation for the main plot
The drama is unresolved.
It was the reverse flash who killed his mom. unfortunately, in this movie, it doesn’t make much sense because the reverse flash would have no problem killing Barry’s mom with the father still there. At least in the TV show, Barry actually had to physically stop The killer.
Was very disappointed Thawne never made an appearance. We've never seen Reverse Flash in the DCU yet either.
Honestly I never noticed that lol. I just knew reverse flash had to show up at some point.
Because obviously they can make a villain out of whoever it was(or a look alike) ten years from now when they run out of ideas for the next sequel.
The fact they setup the vibration through walls aspect of his powers from the comics, only to not use it on the pod in the russian lab is actually hilarious.
Dude Elvis’s edits and memes are so hilarious it’s amazing and wholesome to see over the years he hasn’t lost his wholesome charm ❤ thank you for amazing content for years man. Us OG viewers been around and always appreciate you.
Barry really woke up and said "hmm yes today I will force Kara into an endless cycle of suffering for the sake of my character development and throw it all away by not learning anything at the end"
“Second Barry has a chihuahua brain”
Yes. That’s is an excellent way to put it.
7:25
It's a really weird gag, but batman and flash are saying these things because they're touching wonder woman's rope.
This actually explains so much, idk how I didn't put that together
yes but the thing is just touching the lasso does nothing, wonder woman has to ask them a question and after that they have to tell the truth.(in some versions what they perceive as truth). It could have been used as a character building or characterization moment than a weird gag which was a completely non-joke.
Yeah, she would have had to initiate it with a question though, she didn't ask shit about Barry's sex life for him to blurt that out 😂 you can write Lasso of Truth comically while still making sense, all they had to do was write some accidental questions in there for WW and then the guys answer dumb things without realizing they're being too honest.
@@-desertpackrat Honestly they could have had this setup that just touching it causes you to blurt out but use it for character revelation, character humor!
They don't reveal anything about character and the jokes are unfunny!
no even bats doesn't count, we already know that he is doing so to compensate for childhood trauma, and the other was commentary about how he could be using his money
They could have given us how bruce views batman! even as a trauma response how does bruce view it ? how does bruce view the way he has used his money and rescources
(Comic bruce does use his money to help people, his company is known for hiring people who have police records, have been to jail for crimes, he constantly donates to charities, this is bats he probably has his own app to find the best and genuiene charities, he always funds construction for any damages to the city and development, his business ideas expand business and create employment opportunities in other cities and gotham to reduce crime!)
Maybe not this extreme but give us something that tells us how bruce views his resources!
A " I think the amount of money I put into this could be used for social centers create outreach centers! nah the joker would blow 3 of them up for every 2! he is locked in arkham for last 2 years"
still a joke about how he could be using his money in better manner
shows how he thinks about it but also giving the audience room to know bats is incorrect.
Flash could be given something better, more essential here cause compared to bats most people don't know flash as a character, particularly this version of flash
So kid Barry looks like a aged down version of Björk?! Now it all makes sense how Ezra Miller was able to start a cult in Iceland!!!
My biggest issue with Barry going back in time. Why go through all the trouble of being like "If she just had tomatoes this never would've happened" instead of just going back and catching and stopping the guy who attacks her. Barry is supposed to be some what smart, so why leave it to random chance and hope the "dominos" fall in place
yeah, he could've gone back to two dead parents...
@@biglevian yeah I don't know why they went this convoluted "butterfly effect" route. The animated movie handled it fairly well and simple with Barry going back in time with the intention of just flat out stopping the attack himself. It's really quite silly suggesting some one would think "In order to prevent my mother from being brutally murdered i'm going to place all my hopes on can of tomato paste" 🙄🤦🏼♂🤷♂
The fact that he himself said "the butterfly effect" but then do it anyway... make you think "Does he really understand the butterfly effect?"
The Time Messing is no joke but.. well "gonna make a time warp again-baby, for the plot"
It was because he was trying to make minimal contact with the past, going and stopping a crime gives you more of a chance of changing multiple things than a quick one minute trip to put a can of tomatoes in a cart.
Barry was hoping to avoid major changes like interacting with and stopping a killer. The tomatoes thing was his attempt at a minimal change
"I've developed this all powerful persona to compensate for my childhood trauma" This is fanfiction. This has to be fanfiction. I'm convinced this exact line is somewhere in a not so great fanfiction. I don't even read fanfiction
I write fanfiction and this is film's writing is making me winch.
@@dynostretch9215*wince
They saw no way home and their toxic trait said "we can do that", they could not.
that’s exactly what i thought when i saw the trailer
I knew the CGI would be wretched but it blew all my expectations!😂
The thing that pisses me off is that there was a better script written by freakin Grant Morrison that utilizes some of The Flash’s Rogues and they rejected it for this garbage.
It sucks that they didn't use that script, especially cuz i heard Morrison replaced Ezra Miller with an extra-dimensional alien.
Morrison you say? That's trading cyanide for Arsenic so no thanks.
It's not garbage, it's a great movie.
@@saidi7975 Disagree, Morrison is great.

One of the big problems I had with the flash was the cgi looking so bad to the point where it looks like a game from the ps2 and ps3 era and sometimes ps2 games can sometimes look better then the flash’s cgi
PS3 era I get, but not Ps2. Instead, the CGI looked more like old CGI cutscenes for videogames.
The reason why the CGI looks bad it’s because a month before it was released the VFX was told to redo most of the movie in just a month and it’s was enough for the VFX do be finished
I mean have you’ve seen the cutscenes for the 2000 game “The Bouncer” It may look dated 23 years later but it looks better than this!
(And it was on the PS2!)
PS2 gaming CGI. Pretty sure COD 3 still better than this.
Idk how you can call this a ps2 video game. This is obviously worse.
Remember, these are the writers who are on strike demanding more money
About phazing while holding others, or using flash speed while he holds someone. In comics, Flash "speedforce" affects also people he carries, clothes, objects that he holds. It's like a protective layer that ables flash to pick up stuff without destroying it, or sometimes to use objects like computer in speeds of light. This is a missconception that flash is just a guy who runs in speed of light, but speedforce is like so many abilities that it makes the flash one of the most op characters in DC.
The Flash is proof that we're living in a bad timeline. The timeline where The Flash was a success was played by Grant Gustin.
No this is the original timeline actually. The Flash did change it to the Grant Gustin version, but then "the butterfly effect got out of hand" and he went back again to reset everything to the way the movie was "meant to be", with Ezra Miller, and he learned a profound lesson. He finally accepted that his own movie is kinda shit but it was meant to be, and has to be.
Why? Trust me.
... idk that's what he told me. Hes fucking nuts 😂
@@tonichan89 Our timeline is way better anyway by the fact that we just have one Ezra Miller. Can you imagine two or even three of them? And then also with superpowers???
By the looks of the movie, there's an infinite amount of Ezra Millers and one Nicolas Cage, it is unfair.@@lordmontymord8701
So in a alternate reality grant gustin is the flash in cinema and ezra is the flash in series
He sucks too.
For someone called the Flash he looks like he's ice skating for the Olympics whenever he "runs" ☠️
i think that's the point cuz he's running so fast, his steps kinda slide everywhere. doesn't translate well onto actual screen though lol
That was on purpose. However, just cause they intended it that way, or because it makes sense (yeah like this movie gave a fuck about that) it just looks bad and they shouldn't have done it that way
@@wonderthigh Yeah it didn't translate well like at all in my Opnion. Putting the run in slow motion made it even worse in my opinion ☠️ because of how Ezra moves their arms.
@@Korra228 They should have done the running like how that speedster eternal ran in the eternals movie she actually looked like she was running and not gliding. The gliding could have been cool maybe but the way they animated and rendered it looked terrible. Maybe it would have been better if Ezra didn't have a Goofy running pose.
It's supposed to show that he is uneffected by friction so therefore he kinda glides.
24:00 The weirdest thing about this scene it that this computer doesn't lock itself after like 3 failed code inputs

How is superman not a thing just because flash's mom survived?
How did that even change supermans parents sending him to earth and being found by the old couple?
How did that change aquaman not getting born?
Was berry's dad so alone that he decided to blow up crypton and sleep with the queen of atlantis?
This is explained both in the animated Flashpoint Paradox comic event and in the movie.
Flash has to constantly avoid going extreme hyperspeed because there is a chance either;
A - He can overburden his body and be consumed by the Speedforce (happened to JL:A Wally and Young Justice Wally)
B - Breaking the time barrier causes a permanent sonic boom capable of twisting events from everyone else around the universe a tiny bit more.
Thing is this movie did a horrible way of representing this because they used only the "butterfly effect" example rather than the DOMINO effect, and they coudn't also include other villains to explain it properly like Thawne did. It's why his iconic speech got so many memes out of it, because Zoom didn't need to do absolutely nothing to prove Barry fucked up.
In the movie it's explained that time travel doesn't exist, you just traveling to a new dimension where the "changes" you made have always been true. All the "changes" were simply differences in the dimension.
In everything else there's the "Time Boom" time traveling causes changes up and down the timeline.
They literally explained it effects the past and future
To be fair, many things don't make sense in the Flashpoint movie either.
I can understand Superman's ship going down in Metropolis instead of Smallville, because maybe mucking with time made it crash a bit later.
But how does it make Wonder Woman murder Aquaman's wife?
The time travel logic here is somehow more nonsensical than the Simpsons Halloween episode 'Time and Punishment'.
Homer sitting on a fish which causes it to rain doughnuts somehow makes more sense than this film.
3:03 Dude... That's my ringtone, you scared the shit out of me... 😂
I find it interesting how the classified document on Supergirl has almost everything redacted except the EXACT LOCATION. Lmao. Like, let's hide what we have here, but y'all can know where it is, precisely.
I want someone to explain how the lasso of truth even works, because I don't think it works unless you ask someone a question
The Lasso once wrapped around someone, it compels them to tell the absolute truth to whomever is in command of the lasso. It can also reveal lost memories and induce hypnosis. WW uses it as a form of interrogation
Didn't they use that exact same gag somewhere in _Justice League?_
It makes it so you cant lie and reveals your truth
Ao you don’t have to ask a question but it helps you get relevant independent… it would just mean anything someone tries to say would be am true
If the person truly believes something even if its wrong you can still get wrong information
For example batman beats in the cartoons by believing his secret identity is batman not bruce so bruce when asked he says he is batman
Other characters have beaten it simply by not speaking at all.
He vibrating through the wall thing is actually canon, and comes from the comics. Impulse does it all the time. It's something about making his molecules be able to squeeze past everything else's molecules.
And it is a stupid idea there too.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 It was cool in the 90's though. How do you think I got these many bruises as a kid? I tried vibrating through walls. Turns out it didn't work, but hey, at least I tried and probed it doesn't work.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759nah
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 Well it is an actual science theory that's studied in Quantum Physics, so not complete made-up nonsense.
@@gregoryl.levitre9759 its a real theory. how is it a stupid idea when you have kryptonians with laser eyes, people replacing their skeletons with metal, i mean cmon. its one of the few superhero things that has any real basis.
The ending is pretty sad when you think about it, barry essentially ended up in the Schumacher universe (most likely) so his dad in dceu probably thinks be abandoned him
I think the reason Batman and Barry were saying weird shit was because they were touching the lasso of truth? I can't remember if Diana actually asked them anything though and I don't know how that lasso works, like if it makes just spurt out random truths or if they'd have to be asked a question to prompt it...
Diana has to ask first. Just touching or being lassoes by the LoT does nothing. They just made an unfunny joke out of it.
as the comment above me explained, Diana has to ask the question first,
As far as the how the Lasso works
the ones bound by the lasso need to be asked to prompt it but it only gives you what they believe is the truth rather than actual truth. (this is dependent on the writer though)
The one bound also needs to follow whatever command the owner of the lasso states.
It is unbreakable, infinitely elastic and can change its length if required
These are just the basics,
more abilities like linking minds on emotional level, telepathy, increasing empathy are also recorded.
rather than have a character-building chance they just waste it on a bad joke about batman creating this persona to compensate for trauma and a complete non joke about Flah never being laid. They could have even made it a bit of a good bye for this DC universe a simple " nice working with you" or a sincere "glad I got friends" moment with all 3 of them!
This would have been avoided if they just gave us the flashpoint movie we all wanted, instead of some dollar tree version of it. I mean for fucks sake- they had Jeffery Dean Morgan willing to play Thomas Wayne.
Damn, he would've been such a great Thomas Wayne... And the fact that Jensen voices Batman these days makes it even cooler
Jeffery Dean Morgan as Batman (even if not Bruce Wayne) would be awesome.
Honestly, I’m getting sick and tired of all these Flashpoint adaptations. The Flash arguably has the best/most consistent catalogue of stories, not just out of DC, but superhero comics as a whole. So why do people only ever adapt this one singular storyline over and over and over again?
@@KeDe1606 that’s a fair point tbh. I’m gonna assume it’s bc flashpoint is one of the most well-known stories. I’m not the biggest flash fan in general, (it’s not that I dislike him, I just like other characters more) so I personally don’t have a problem with all the adaptations, but I can see why it would get annoying.
@@Sarriiaa yeah, I guess you have a point. I just wish these corpos would finally grow a spine and *not* do the same thing that others have done hundreds of times before (and done it way better, mind you. The animated movie is leagues better than this… thing).
It’s stupid of me to think that, obviously. I mean, they don’t even have enough of a spine to pay their employees at least somewhat fairly. But still, I thought that they’d at least be able to achieve that much
Always love your movie reviews. Would love to hear your opinion on Skinamarink since it had such a divided reception.!
Thank you. Finally! Ive seen this series now
"Movies and NFTs don't make sense together. At all."
NFTs don't make sense. At all.
When the flash says "its flashin' time" before doing something career ruining for both him and his agent is astounding
Batman must be a star fox fan cuz he did a barrel roll to avoid damage.
Dear Mr Elvis
I just replayed the fast part of the video in slow motion and the only thing it sounded like was me exiting the Matrix for the first time and waking up out of my bug pod thing with robots everywhere.
I'd like those few seconds of my life back thank you.
"Ezra Miller is a thief, a criminal! He's a menace to the entire city!"

JJ: And here I thought that web head was a menace.
I didn't watch the movie, so I'm gonna watch Elvis' review on it because everything he touches makes it funny and entertaining.
You’re not missing out at all tbh
@@py16667 Good to hear. I refuse to give WB any money for being such hypocrites and keeping Ezra Miller around. Not even worth pirating.
Really? This guy didn't get some of the Easter eggs and is questioning things that imply he doesn't even get the premise of super hero movies. This is a bad review of a terrible movie. Is he normally funny or something?
I would actually love to see Elvis review ELVIS. That movie was hysterical.
@@DarkAttackYThonestly the movie is solid. And I understand why they didn't drop him. The movie was already filmed and in post production when he got into drama. So recasting at the point would've meant they would have to redo the whole movie, which would hundreds of millions of dollars on a movie that already had a large budget. WB just had to bite the bullet and try to make back as much as possible
I can't believe Elvis completely glossed over, or didn't notice the insanity of putting a scene in the movie where Ezra Miller sticks babies in microwaves.
doesn't Wonder Woman's lasso work if she asked you a question?
batfleck actually does reference the scene in the snyder cut where the flash turned back time. he says, “so you went back in time, like in pozharnov?” (pozharnov is the name of the pripyat stand-in that the final battle of both versions of justice league are set in)
It's crazy how the Snyder cut both IS and ISN'T canon in this movie. What a messy and fucked-up script.
I think you missed why george clooney showed up... Because he changed the timeline again by saving his dad from prison... Barry is now in that timeline where bat credit card exists.
Also, that pretty much goes against the entire movie.
Bat-Nipples !!!
Hey, dude who commented.. I can't see your comment for some reason...
Buddy you just truly made me sub to you W video.
One of the biggest issue for me was how the two Barrys kept time traveling to the past and chose a time when the battle has already began... Like go back further and discuss more effective strategy.. warn bruce ans supergirl about the stuff u saw...
also technically based on the rules of this very movie there should be more than 2 flash everytime they time travel during the final battle...
18:09 the Speed Force prevents that. It protects whoever or whatever Barry is running or phasing with
The bit with nic cage just makes me think a superman movie with nic cage would have been way better than this
You missed mentioning how Supergirl's CGI thigh-slimming is different in every scene too..
The sketch between Ezra’s agent and Warner Bros killed me. 😂😂😂😂
The fact that he somehow tried all combinations is insane. Lets assume there's about 100 different characters on the keyboard and it's an 8-digit code. If he tries one combination per second it would still take him like hundreds of billions of years. For every extra digit to the code it would take him 100x as much time. So i guess he just got lucky early on. Even a 4 digit code would take him about 3 years of constantly trying combinations. It would've been better writting if the russians just had a post it note with the password on the computer
You're giving this too much thought. No machine would work this fast. Imagine a computer that takes 30s to boot up. It will still take 30s to boot up, even if the Flash pressed the power button at the speed of light. Going back to that scene, the door control has to process the numbers, check if the password is valid and spit out a result before he even starts typing another combination.
You’re the worst dude. Digging for this amount of logic in a movie with a time traveling superhero is so dumb. Stop taking it so seriously
@@V.Senseiagreed, the idea that the machine was fast enough to process every input was goofy as it is, but I think in the comics they kinda explain that Barry as a speedster kinda has some sort of speedforce force field around himself which allows for ignoring stuff like friction and momentum transfer which is also why people don't exactly turn into mush when speedsters approach them with the momentum of a goddamn truck
OR....hear me out. Barry moves so fast, he can lie about putting in all the combinations, and Bruce can't really prove he didn't.
@@willverschneider1102 then you have to answer how did he find the right one again. And being lucky and getting it 1/4 the way in, in a 3 years or 5 centuries period doesn't look good or realistic
Even in the Josh Whedon version of Justice League he used the time travel during Supermans resurrection as he needed the electricity to use the motherbox and we saw the motherbox briefly start to rewind and go up instead of falling so he had the ability in both versions.
I don't think that happened.
The third act "inevitable moment" thing just felt so rushed and forced it's stupid. You mean to tell me they tried twice and that was enough to see no other outcomes?
No convincing reason was given for why original Barry and 2nd Barry (who got all of OG Barry's speed immediately from taking it) couldn't defeat the Kryptonians by themselves beyond the fact that the director wanted to power scale.
We see the speed force is much faster than Kryptonian speed, can produce almost as much force in a punch, they can vibrate through their indestructible bodies, etc. Even old Batman who's been out of the game since the 90's can take down Kryptonian ships with the Batplane, presumably killing the aliens on board, and has enough firepower in his belt to knock out the giant Kryptonian. They for all intents in purposes have the power to kill the Kryptonians themselves. But when Zod is getting his ass kicked, he just decides "no I don't wanna" and the tables turn immediately by out speeding and out strengthing the woman who was jusy doing that to him. Then for some reason punching Supergirl forces _Barry_ to stop running around him?
Also, you're telling me that Barry, who worked with a Batman who took down _the baddest Kryptonian,_ Superman, helped defeat Doomsday, and took out a god, can't mention Kryptonite? Maybe tell Batman to pack a few lead filled smoke bombs to stay hidden from their senses? A few sonic grenades to disorient them? It just doesn't work as a plot point when none of the options that we've already seen work aren't used at all.
If you're confused about the strange jokes at 6:46 like Elvis was, that's due to Wonder Woman's lasso making anyone that touches tell the truth. With that information please realize, that these jokes are still awful.
Just had to be sure someone explained this lol
2 things terrify me
1) how they forget the calorie-meter after the first 15th minute of the movie
2) how come Ezra M*ller did not assault, attack, stab, drugged, attempt a murder to anyone around for solid couple hours.
The thing that bothers me the most is the fact they had "Flashpoint", which is a great story, and instead of following it they came out with this abomination.
This can be re-titled as "Flash - another point of time" too fit better
Not saying the movie is ..."good" tho
It's not abomination, it's a great movie.
I see they used a bad copy. Or copy of a copy of a great story.
One thing they I inherently do not like about this movie is this, they are trying to do a kid friendly version of flashpoint. Didn’t the Live DCU movies originally try be darker and serious but that didn’t work so they started making bad jokes? Flashpoint is the movie where the DCU should be serious rather than changing the event as a whole.
I'm honestly amazed the NFT community has survived for this long.
I think Wonder Woman's lasso makes you tell the truth so that would be the writer's explanation for the dialogue.
I liked the part when Ezera said, "It's flashin time" and then did some flashing.
Ezra Miller 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 flashing
@@theussmirage he sure does
That must be a alternative timeline where he is a flasher instead of "the flash".
@@loganshaw4527with the amount of dick jokes in this movie and all of Ezra’s crimes, chances are that might become this timeline if it already isn’t.
Flash is a villain in our timeline.
With the Wonder Woman scene,I'm assuming the dialogue was terrible because they were trying to give some humor to the Lasso of Truth.However,that's not how the Lasso of Truth works lol
You can in fact lie but it would be painful batman could lie "because I'm batman"
Exactly. This scene was stupid on so many levels lmao@InevitableOption-ic2vx
What is it with this movie and is making awkward unfunny jokes about flash’s dick/sex life. Idc if this version of flash is meant to be awkward, it’s just weird and uncomfortable coming from Ezra Miller.
For a nice reference ofhow goofy guessing that password was, a number pad with a 4 digit password has 10'000 combinations, 4 digits with numbers and letters, 1.6 million, now imagine factoring symbols and a random length into it
The fact that i really really enjoyed this movie makes me self conscious now XD
Edit: after watching most of this review I can honestly say it just feels like you went into this movie trying to not like it. An odd amount of hyper criticism negatively swung. I think my first video of yours ive watched that I thought "damn, is this how he watches movies" XD im not saying youre wrong, or that you should think differently... just felt weird. But im all for people having different opinions, thats what makes the world, and media, so great and ever evolving!
Did you just like, not notice the terrible special effects, lazy acting, and bad writing? If you enjoyed it that’s fine but you don’t need to get defensive and downplay the flaws in a movie just because you personally feel stupid for not noticing those flaws
Turkey sandwich
Ooooh I didn’t know that, that’s cool
This Batman is a travesty anyway. Snyders obsession with Batman using guns, him not being the strategist of the Justice League (because he's an idiot like everybody else) and now this line.
I actully like the Lasso of Truth-scene in Justice League with Aquaman unlike many others, but this tried to be even more sillier and damaged two characters.
For me its the fact that he just doesnt say shit like that. He really only says things that need to be said. Thats never a line that should come from batman
@@mikehawk1865 that too
@@mikehawk1865 isn’t it not under his control because of WW’s lasso tho?
Its so weird they chose to retell the flashpoint comic, before we actually had a chance to grow with the characters in the synderverse or any live action verse. Flashpoint is only appealing if we have an actual connection with the verse, and we don't want Barry to change it but we also understand why he wants to and feel like he needs to. We had yet to have a Robin, or a cyborg, or a green lantern adapted in the verse that this movie takes place in. There's nothing to grow attached to besides Batman in this verse. Wonderwoman maybe, Aquaman sorta, everyone else not really.
It cuz the writer of the flashpoint comic wanted to be DC's Kevin Feige and pushed storyarcs he wrote like Flashpoint after he got hired as a consultant
exactly! I am not invested with any of these characters.
Yes, it doesn't work when we know the universe is getting rebooted in 2 to 5 years time and are basically begging them to get any remaining films on the release schedule over and done with already
The DCCU has a habit of doing that. Batman vs Superman gave us the fight from Dark Knight Returns, with none of the tragedy of how these two allies had come to be at each others throats. Then we got Death of Superman out of nowhere, and he comes back next movie. X-Men adaptations have the same problem with the Dark phoenix storyline, they throw out "Jean becomes powerful, then goes crazy, then dies." without laying any of the groundwork that made the original Phoenix saga so memorable.
So about Barry getting his powers, I remember reading that the lightning is actually Barry from the future going back in time to give himself his powers, basically a paradox.
I died laughing when I saw Afton, I rewinded multiple times, got over it. Then I saw Mark and lost my sh*t😂😂
The flash had potential but I think the biggest problem about it is
I agree, especially because this movie
I think you forgot to mention the
I think Candlejack snatch....
for me the biggest problem was when he
Yup, and when
Ezra commits all these illegal and heinous acts: Hollywood sleeps
Johnny Depp is accused of domestic abuse against crazy girlfriend with little to no proof: Hollywood immediately drops him
What about Will Smith who got blacklisted from the industry for one bitch slap that he apologized for.
Or Brandon Fraiser who got blackballed from all roles because he refused the advances (ie sexual assault) of one of his producers.
Roman Polanksi is back with a movie. Seems they have no issue with keeping predators, but immediately get rid of victims.
The difference being the film was filmed before all the crimes and Hollywood doesn't want to lose money. It's a business, not a charity. He won't be working in blockbusters again.
And this is exactly why I don’t watch superhero movies…. They’re more disappointing than video game movie adaptations. It’s next to impossible to make something good for diehards and the general public.
My favorite thing is that they made a movie about a superhero who has the power of super speed and basically all his action scenes and powers involve running. And then decided to cast an actor that has never seen anyone run in real life and looks more like a toddler took over an adults body and is experiencing legs for the first time. Legitimately Jack Sparrow runs in a more natural way than this psycho.
Honestly the only good flash is the justice league unlimited version of the flash, since he’s very down to earth and hangs out with everyone in his hometown and he also treats his villains as people and talk to them in stead of bashing there skulls like Batman.🐱
Flash has been consistent in most adaptations. MCU Flash just recently became a hero. Not much was done with him.
