I read the other reviews, low rated and high, and points made are agreeable. I want to say first and foremost that the adaption is to be appreciated at least in contrast to the first adaption (the film) that, at least majority, no one liked. I’m still going to watch the upcoming seasons, but it bothers me to the fullest degree that the story has been changed in ways that have left plenty of plot holes, and I’ll leave that to the other reviews for further understanding of this. It’s quite difficult to watch in enjoyment, especially when—although character appearance is on point—the traits that pertain to them are found lacking. For instance, Katara’s motherly spirit to her being shown to be, in my opinion, soft and no offense, dull. Also, what happened to Azula’s perfectionist attitude? She’s ruthless, cunning, calculating, etc, not a little girl with daddy issues. Hard to find her intimidating when her character is, well, a mind of a five year old. Don’t even get me started with Mai, and Ty Lee. Disappointed with the lack in accuracy of character and the way the story unfolds overall. Hoping the way this story goes on ties in well with what they have already integrated!

Oh my god. A chefs kiss movie to the portrayal of the character Riley and her newborn emotions! This movie filled with emotions and figurative language for not just young people to understand, but also other people of age. It acknowledges the growth of what it means to be human, and they do it all under a short time span. Empathy is driven well and I have laughed and cried many times. I haven’t related to Riley so much as an adult, and in that emotional connection, one can find themselves in world of familiarity. The movie flows together nicely, and is quite the educational experience when it comes to anxiety; they show that in such a funny relatable way, it’s unbelievable! Definitely S tier. Everyone should give it a watch!

*Some spoilers* Honestly, the movie was overall enjoyable to watch. Love the theme, humor, etc. I suppose the only reason I’m taking off a star is because of how the story kind of plays out in which I was kind of left confused on why Barry had not shown realistic—at least in my opinion—portrayal of emotions that must have plagued him directly in the film for viewers to understand his perspective (and past experiences) well. I believe that much of the effect caused by his loss—which hasn’t got much screen time—was integral to the “who” the flash truly is; his identity. I mean the title of the title is “The Flash,” amiright? This movie like needs a colon after its title. Ex. ‘The Flash: Solution!’ Ha, besides that, why is no one talking about who the killed his mother and why there was no anger or curiosity towards the culprit who harmed her in the first place when he was younger? Couldn’t have he just stopped the culprit instead? Disappointed that Reverse Flash didn’t show up or even got a lot least a hint on his uncertain upcoming arrival. Why didn’t he show at least his consideration of the possibility? Also, if his father has an alibi now, then I guess the next big thing would be Barry? Cause loike, MEH? I give up. -3- I’ve taken a look of some of the reviews with lower ratings, and I understand on how irrelevant some scenes felt such as the fighting in the beginning or Batman’s/Supergirl’s involvement, plus the complications with the story plot containing not so much of a concise main villain nor a good battle fight duration, but I think a person who has already watched this should come to appreciate the intentions that were made considering it’s major contrast to other films DC put out that I find mostly comedic. I had no high expectations for this movie, but I think my doubt in its storyline has become rewarding enough to benefit me to just appreciate bottom line in the end. Sure improvements can be done, but I think we all can concur that no movie can be perfect, yes? Yes, could’ve done more with things everybody is saying about CGI, character development, immersiveness, blah, blah, but this film was satisfactory in terms of the message they were getting at which stands alone to be meaningfully adequate. I liked that I kind of got to find deeper meanings such as my favorite moment when Barry stabbed himself. Poetic Yesyes. If you haven’t watched the movie yet and you’re reading this, you’re missing out on some lessons we tend to forget in life! Probably one of the most decent, likeable movies I’ve watched from DC lol.
