Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash follows Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) tries to save his family by travel back in time but when his attempt to change the past inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned. His only hope to stop him rests in the hands of a retired Batman, an imprisoned Kryptonian, and an alternate version of himself.
Finally, the Scarlet Speedster got his big screen solo outing and it's everything that I wanted it to be: fun, heartfelt, thrilling, and even refreshing. Andy Muschietti never directed a superhero or an action movie before, but he surely knows how to direct a scene, he has the potential and I honestly can't wait for more. My excitement paid off since this is my most anticipated superhero movie of the year. Barry's story arc is truly the heart of this movie, running into his younger self makes him realize at the end and just accept the grief of the incident that took his mother also his growth becoming more mature. Despite all the ongoing controversies that still surround him, Ezra Miller is undoubtedly talented and showed their acting range, playing two versions of the character that have distinct personality from each other. Miller's performance proves once again that the actor is still worthy to play this iteration of the Fastest Man Alive.
It hurts me that we may never get a chance to see Batfleck kicking arse in his solo flick, even if this is his last appearance as the Caped Crusader, he definitely reminded me how badass he was and still is in that intense opening sequence. Michael Keaton is back, and the same goes for him if this is indeed his swan song, he absolutely will leave a mark on both old and new fans' hearts. I don't have much to say about Sasha Calle performance (she's gorgeous tho), she nailed it regardless. Too bad it's probably one and done for her as Supergirl. For a movie that relies heavily on CGI and a budget is around 200 million dollars, it's hilarious how it looks unpolished, sure some are great but also some are just laughably bad. The third act is a bit overwhelming yet surprisingly awesome.
The Flash is an ambitious time-travel extravaganza that serves its fans with unexpected cameos, it's big in terms of scope and scale. Agree to disagree, The Flash is one of the better DCEU movies in recent years.
