I watched the long-awaited movie The Flash. Not even Michael Keaton saved him

The long-awaited film The Flash has been released worldwide.

According to actor Ezra Miller, the picture of the throne rebooted the DC Comics MCU. The new Justice League: Infinite Earth comic book series featuring Barry Allen watches in time and scope to save the world from another global peril.

The main twist of the picture was revealed even in the trailers, which was from parts a disastrous outcome for the film adaptation. But there are other factors that will negatively affect the box office.

We have already reviewed the novelty and are in a hurry to share our impressions. Did the author of the assignment succeed in restarting the DC Universe, or are we facing another passing movie? We understand.

such a multiverse

The creators of The Flash took a similar example from Marvel when they decided to implement a playable multiverse. But this decision did not bear fruit. Emergence happens until it is foreseen.

What is the movie about: During a failed experiment, destroyed lightning-fast chemicals are spilled on Barry Allen, after which the young man acquires the superpower of rapid movement and detection.

After becoming the Flash, he plans to go back in time to save his mother, despite Batman’s warnings. But in the end it is night to the doors to an alternative open universe. And it will be different from what the guy is used to.

The Flash by Andres Muschietti (It, Lock and Key) is based on the Flashpoint comic. In the event that Barry Allen threw into the past and the inevitable death of matter, changing the course of history.

For example, Bruce Wayne didn’t become Batman. Instead of his father, Thomas became the Dark Knight, turning into some variation of the Joker. Wonder Woman and Aquaman unleashed a war between their own. There are many events, the restart was supposed to be large-scale.

The main symptomatology of the disease was, in fact, itself multiverse. The authors, every now and then, flirt with the viewer and throw in new cameos. Only here their very mistake manifests itself – if in the same “There is no way home” we are measured three Spider-Man at once, then they kept us with them for a long time, until the very end of the picture. It was an incredible cameo, a complete part of the story.

In the case of The Flash, the Batmans in Michael Keaton and George Clooney’s past play no role at all. They are exclusive to the servicefan, just to play with the mere fact of having them. They are in no way characteristic of the plot and depth for literally 10 minutes, and then they grow rapidly about them.

In addition, the events of “Man of Steel” also apply, during which General Zod returned during Michael Shannon’s off-duty time. Even the actor himself in an interview noted that he “did not feel like a prisoner.”

At the same time, the author managed to lose all the essence of the original superheroes. Keaton’s Batman is no longer in a grotesque image, and Nicolas Cage in blue tights is not involved at all, even if he was somehow involved in filming.

The introduction of cult manifestations is a work exclusively for nostalgia, which has no expansion. It’s an empty throw for nothing.

Although the very essence of the plot of Ezra Miller is not lost. He remained the same carefree and perky humorist from the Justice League. The picture is saturated with humor, although not always of high quality. Yes, there are no frankly bad jokes here, but for the most part they do not cause any adequate reaction.

The plot itself is simple and clear, the viewer will not be able to get confused. Thank you for not being too smart with him.

There are a lot of hidden and direct references to the films of the nineties. What is worth only a lot of mention of “Back to the Future” or Easter eggs from “Time Patrol”. With this moment, the scriptwriters and directors did a good job, you can’t say anything.

CGI universe

Another global new “Flash minus” is overabundance of graphics. You just do not believe, because you see a huge amount of art.

It could happen in events, and then abruptly throw it into reality with an abundance of CGI effects. It doesn’t look bad, but there’s too much green screen. I don’t talk about the fight scenes at all: they are written in a simulated and stupid way. And if you add to this minimum of observation of the natural and absolutely standard camera work, then you are simply lost in bewilderment from what you see.

Into the chemistry between Batman and the Flash, you too do not believe. Any interaction they have is paired with epic or simply bombastic music that is confusing.

Restart failed

The Flash is a passing movie that tries to put pressure on the feelings of seasoned looks. However, it does it so ineptly that you simply cannot carry out this production.

There are a certain number of good scenes in the story, the story looks at least somewhat interesting. The picture will surely find its audience for someone: some will like jokes, someone will get enough of references and Easter eggs, and someone will even delve into the plot. However, these people are exclusively from the rules. A sophisticated viewer will not find anything worthwhile in the novelty, but at a normal level they will close their eyes.

Watch only for true DC fans. They may be justified indulgence.

Now the only hope is James Gunn, who will handle limited DC films.
