Review Tuesday: The Flash 2023

  

 

The Flash

2023 

The Flash tries to change the past to save his family with dire consequences.

I had heard that THE FLASH was a fun movie but like most of the movie watching public I had no interest in supporting it after finding out what sort of a colossal degenerate Ezra Miller turned out to be. My BFF, however, owns a copy and wanted me to watch it with her one night. So, why not? 

 

Barry Allen / The Flash (Ezra Miller) is frustrated. He's treated like the Justice League's janitor, his boss treats him like trash, his father's legal defense is falling apart, and Barry is feeling sad and lonely. So he hatches the bright idea to use his gift of speed to travel back in time and change things. 

 

And he ends up changing everything. 

 

It's just another one of these ridiculous multi-verse movies and I was tired of it almost from the start. There were a couple good things about it. The whole Michael Keaton Batman / Bruce Wayne story-line was pretty good and really made the movie watchable. The should really get back to that idea and make a full movie around an older Bruce Wayne played by Michael Keaton. I also have to admit that I found Sasha Calle to be the only sexy Supergirl / Kara Zor-El in my mind, but then again, I prefer brunettes so that;s not a surprise. 

 

Is this a good superhero movie? Not really. Is it fun and has some good points? Sure. If you can watch it for free, I recommend it.
