The Flash Featured, Reviews Film Threat
Let me reiterate that it’s always been my policy to judge a movie based on what’s on the screen, not the personal lives of people above or behind the camera. Yes, you can find cases where I violate this policy, but follow me on this. There must be a line between art and politics. So how do director Andy Muschietti and star Ezra Miller play the B-level hero in The Flash in a world that wants A-grade stories?
The story has pretty much everything in the trailer. Barry Allen (Miller) is the district attorney’s forensic pathologist.
He uses these sources to find evidence that vindicates his father, who has been falsely accused of his mother’s death. Enraged, Barry ran back and forth to find he could move fast enough to time travel. He returns to prevent his mother’s murder, and upon returning to the present, a mysterious figure thrusts Barry into another timeline, where he encounters his now-living mother and himself. childhood body.
This is where the butterfly effect begins. Barry’s interference resulted in the only member of the Justice League in existence being Batman, Michael Keaton’s version. Soon, General Zod (Michael Shannon) arrives, but there is no Superman to save the day. With Batman as the branch between the two Barrys, our trio must find a way to save the world against Zod. This includes finding and recruiting other superheroes.
Please remove my credit. I’m not a fan of DC, have grown up with Marvel all my life. I’m not a fan of Zach Snyder’s movies either, none of them. That said, I love The Flash. This is the first time in a long time that I feel like I’m watching a comic book movie from start to finish. It opens with Flash doing Flash things while saving Metropolis. This simple sequence establishes Barry’s personality and gives us his full potential. Now one more important appearance from Batfleck and just enough Wonder Woman to remind us why we love Gal Gadot. Viola, you have a fun movie.
The next segment grounds us in the human story. Barry is working feverishly to get his father out of prison while discovering that he can time travel and make it so his mother never dies. From here, the wheels fall off the car, and Barry creates a mess he must fix. It helps that, regardless of what you feel about the person, Ezra Miller is great as both Barry Allens. The special effects to pull off the dual roles are seamless, and instantly, you stop trying to figure out how this trick is done. Though some may find the Barrys annoying, I love that they are two different people with separate motivations.
