Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation. With no other superheroes to turn to, the Flash looks to coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian -- albeit not the one he's looking for. (Warner Bros. US)

A Flash movie where Flash himself swears the fuck out can’t be that bad. The farewell to Snyder's world, full of winks and various mini-movies, shatters the multiverse and unfortunately leaves the worst thing in it: Ezra Miller. While his older version is quite passable, his younger drug-addled self is awfully annoying. Even his running style is terrible, and that’s why he’s at his best when he’s mentoring instead of running. Muschietti casts his spell, building the story around saving Flash’s mother. It works perfectly, and, despite the blatantly CGI time travel (of course it was on purpose, after all the pretense there was no money for anything better) the whole universe stuff works well, even if it doesn’t make sense and has lapses in logic – why does Kara speak English instead of Russian? The final clash is quite boring compared to the dynamic opening. The Batmen are all great, and Keaton is really enjoying his comeback. It's a solid popcorn flick that does have a few issues, but it's the fist DC movie I'm happy to watch again after a long time. The closing credits scene could theoretically help Aquaman a lot. PS: Sasha Calle is awesome and I hope we will see more of her on screen.

The Flash is a highly unorthodox superhero movie that defies standards and is so unpredictable plot that it won me over and I'm satisfied! The Flash, thanks to his ability to run faster than light, goes back in time to rescue his mother, but as it happens, everything goes wrong and he gets caught up in a different world. Most of the superheroes don't exist, Michael Keaton is Batman (nostalgia!!), we have Superwoman flying around, and we get a new Flash from the present day of that line. On the one hand, I initially remarked that even DC couldn't avoid the parallel multiverse idea, but in the end they played with this one very well and I enjoyed all those ideas, characters, cameos and changes. The first half of the film runs purely on the comedy side and it's in the second half that we get the bad guy, the action and the unexpectedly engaging multiverse and everything in it, right up until the final shot that suggests there's still more to watch in a sequel. The idea of "walking through walls" and going back in time are fine fleshing out of a "basic" character like the Flash and show that he's a far more important character to DC's version than he originally seemed, and when you add in the backstory reveal of how and when he got his powers, we have another superhero I definitely want to see on screen! Well in the end, a perfectly satisfactory enough popcorn movie, I'm not sure why everyone is hating on it like this. Oh, and the cameo by Nicolas Cage and George Clooney are great! For a director of three horror features, definitely a quality first film in the genre!

I was hesitant about watching this film. DC has always left me a bit skeptical, although my doubts are slowly fading with each new release. Plus, Ezra Miller, who’s not exactly Hollywood’s most beloved face, plays the lead. But I was wrong. DC is rising from the ashes and might just be digging Marvel's grave. Flash turns out to be an incredibly enjoyable, laid-back movie that truly earns its blockbuster status. Despite his controversies, Miller delivers a surprisingly likable performance in a dual role. The film is packed with fantastic references to various parallel dimensions that will thrill any fan, especially with the return of Michael Keaton. Overall, this movie is an unexpectedly good superhero adventure with the classic time paradox theme, making it even more delightful if you didn't see it coming. It certainly delighted me.

#13 DCEU. After a decade since Man of Steel, I finally got to see a live-action Flash(point). The animated The Flashpoint Paradox was not bad at all, and in the sequential art world it was a significant event in 2011 designed to restart DC, which was followed by the famous era of The New 52. And of course, we also saw a television crossover on the same topic in the world of the Arrowverse. But such a complex theme came simply too late. Superficial movie viewers who refuse to read the comic book originals, and who normally fill the box office, are lost. Those who reject cartoons and series do not understand half of that interconnected world. And that's why it's not doing well in movie theaters. Speaking for myself, I must say that I am thrilled with the return of Batman 89 (and Batman 97), I have absolutely no problem with Ezra Miller, I am completely satisfied with all the plots around Michael Shannon, I enjoyed another scene with Gal Gadot... There are many things that I liked, including the million nods to the film past of DC. I will skip the collector Barbie with Sasha Calle's face this time, because there is only one Supergirl. For me, this was very good, though it could have been brilliant if it was the planned peak of the entire DC movie decade from the beginning, but it is definitely not a defeat.

I find that I get bored with these comic book movies, unless it's an R-rated movie in the style of Suicide Squad or Deadpool . This one is just another in a line of mediocre originals where a couple of old characters (Keaton and Shannon) are enjoyable, but otherwise I wasn't too blown away. The humour didn't work for me, and I only liked two of the the action scenes (the opening slow motion scene with the babies is fun). The finale itself is decent too, but everything in between doesn't really stick and flows along without much interest, though it was a bit more fun than Doctor Strange. The multiverse is presented surprisingly more clearly here than in Marvel. As a one-shot, The Flash is okay, but nothing I keep coming back to. 6/10.
