Review of The Flash (2023) by Natejepson — 16 Jun 2023
The story is alright, standard Flashpoint fair, and it makes sure we understand what’s going on. But the trailers/spoilers let this film down, as the film was fairly predictable. Sadly, and I mean this, there was something here that could have been great. Nods to earlier films (MoS) could have meant something if the universe was continuing. But the DCEU here is still suffering from the damage caused by JL17. (Whedon).
As a send off to those characters, it was quite disrespectful. Having a Superman sized hole that wasn’t filled.
Some obviously bad rubbery CGI that was noticeable and garish. It felt like it took cues from Marvel with how the humour and soundtrack was used. The big finale was a let down, having some BIG cameos and suggesting what the ‘Worlds of DC’ (remember that?) looks like. But they amounted to nothing. Just a couple of fleeting video game cutaways. Emotionless and hollow they come and go and don’t really try to say anything.
