Review of The Flash (2023) by Prestigiorebel — 17 Jun 2023
Better than I thought it would be. I feel like the movie is being attacked by either people how hate Ezra Miller or people how hate that the Snyder universe is getting erased, as well as by people who did not like the marketing for this movie which claim this movie to be the best superhero movie ever.
The reality is that this movie is solid. It's not the best movie ever. But it's better than most of the Marvel phase 4 movies. It's better than Eternals, Thor 4, Ant Man Quantumania, Black widow, and better than Shazam, Black Adam, Wonder Woman 1984.
There is questionable CGI at times, that's true. But they are brief moments that don't really take away from the experience. The humor mostly lands, because of the funny things that happen to Barry, but the second Barry was kinda annoying. I liked most cameos, I like that the women in this movie are sexy and feminine. Super girl looks great and I hope she stays as super girl in the new James Gunn universe. She has a strong screen presence and for now she isn't the stereotype of Mary Sue or Girl boss that needs no man or anyone because she is better and stronger than anyone else". She is down to earth, respects men around her, she is compassionate, while still having her own agency. It would be a shame if they replaced her.
The message of the movie is: "Accept what has happened, learn from it, and use that knowledge to guide you in living your best life now".
