The Flash (2023).

"Alternate title: Michael Keaton's Batman 2023: The flash paradox"

The plot was not consistent, they were trying too many angles and sticking a proper landing was hard because of that. The writing was aloof, trying to accommodate various plot lines whilst losing the focus that this is in fact a "Flash" Movie. There's was a point were Keaton's explained the time space jargon to Barry that a change in a time line doesn't change things linearly but somewhat create a "perpendicular fulcrum" ( How a 90 year old Batman is vastly versed in the finer details of the logic of time space continuum is beyond me btw, but i will allow it), "The Flash 2023" exist in this fulcrum, a mid point between the Ridiculously and seriously good Snyder Cut JL and the not so good, CGI goof 2017 version.

They were strong points. A good CBM must have a strong opening scene, and this was good. Some great comedic moments, Whilst i had a problem with Michael Keaton almost overshadowing the entire flick, His cameo (saying cameo lightly because he had ample screen time) was a good one , and an ode is paid to the Superman and Batman movies from before with good references and cameos. There's also a strong Jason Momoa/Arthur Curry/Aquaman arc link which firmly grounds the notion that this is in fact a DCEU movie, a run they are planning to continue under the new DC helm, most likely in "Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom" on Christmas day. Whilst the following careers in the DCEU are a pipe dream now,Ben Affleck on his Batmobile did a fine bridge chase with a charisma that made his Batman Era slightly good, and i screamed a little when i heard the "Wonder Woman" theme score, and Gal Gadot appeared!. This is a direct backdoor to "Man of Steel" (2013) and so Micheal Shannon reprises his role as General Zod, good then, good now!.Ezra Miller is a good "Barry Allen" and i believe in a good story and a properly written script for "him" and with his own "villain" , he would shine because despite what the title says, this was 70% not his movie, and it felt more like a "Justice League" Offshoot.
The CGI was botch work to be honest especially in the opening scene, it was like Justice League 2017 weird level, not really bad, but weird, but this kind of had a comedic relief to the narrative so maybe it was deliberate but considering the budget, i expected better and there were some weird VFX going on as well. Not the recent CGI and VFX MCU bad tho, but maan, i think they had enough time to work on it and still goofed. The AI and Deepfake to bring Christopher Reeve from the Superman of 78 and 87, and Helen Slater from Supergirl 84, and other versions of the Superman and Batman from various variations of both media, was well below standard but i appreciated the effort, basically Nostalgia heroin high!.



B-.

Yet another clout chaser.

Ogbeni, what do you mean by the plot not being consistent?

As far as time travel goes, this is one of the simplest, most consistent plots to date.

The time travel theory in this one was simple and it was explained in an exposition by batman.

Time is not linear. If you travel to the past and change the past, it affects both past and future- this creates a multiverse of many intertwined timelines that have differing nexus points or connecting points (some universes more connected or similar than others). The spaghetti analogy was perfect.

However, there is also another effect of the time travel- if one changes too much nexus points (connecting points) universes start colliding and getting destroyed.


Oh, and the fact that you use a school grading system (alphabet system) in rating movies shows that you a poseur. B minus indeed.

Really? So a man with a supercomputer and the internet cannot be well-read in time travel?

How is Batman 90 years old?

Calm your tits. Everybody on here know, i am as objective as they come. I highly doubt you love the DC lore more than me or you are even as versed in it as i am.

It is a personal review, key word been "Personal", what will be the use for not telling the truth and misleading people? Moreover the good and the bad i mentioned about the movie are almost on par. So mentioning the bad part makes me an enemy? I should only say good things to please your ego? On a faceless forum?? Come on, get a grip!

I really want to believe you are a grown man, but your actions lately are like a toddler, lashing out at every inconvenience without any room for any form of cognitive thinking.... seriously grow up.

I can't be going back and forth with you on the points you raised without entering into spoiler territory, simple courtesy demands I don't. But if grown ups see it, they will see my concerns are valid.

Lastly.... It's important you always think before you rant, and never let your unpolished tendencies cloud your already warped judgement because B- is basically 80-82% which is around 8/10 your dumb ass rated the movie.

That's how the spoilers he dropped will be ignored but the debate should be about the grade, the CGI and whatnot...

I expected this from you. Typical nairalander/Nigerian- when you cannot face the logical argument, you resort to insults.

Who is the toddler between me and you? You watched a film and you are saying the opposite of what you watched. You are resorting to tantrums when your irrationality has been exposed.

Ogbeni, the movie you watched had a simple plot compared to many time travel films. Face that fact.

The point wasn't that we gave the same grade. I.e b minus is equal to 80-82%.


The point is that it is a weird way of rating movies. Most people or institutions use fractions (over 10 or over 5) or a percentage.

Imdb and rotten tomatoes do not use the alphabet grading system.


The average poster on this thread is actually ignorant.

If you can decipher like an adult, you would see that i barely even insulted you, i mainly gave you a piece of advice to stop acting like a man child, You actually cowered and accepted with that smelly emoji reply because you know it's the truth. But so on brand, somebody baited and
egged you on to reply, and you went back to reply the same post to spew this rubbish just to massage your bruised childish ego. Nothing i have said here, that hasn't been said all over movie spaces since yesterday, both the good and the bad. If my review hurt you so much, then I'm not sorry so feel free to wallow in your misery. I truly appreciate the art of movie and i understand it can't all be perfect, you watch movies to see who holds a contrary opinion and go on a meaningless rant.

It's so sad we have to tolerate you here because 80% of your post, you are always waging pointless wars, no meaningful contributions or meaningful reviews, always with a match to start a fire when nothing is cooking. This is like your 4th or 5th moniker now, with zero changes to the unsavoury way you have been acting, don't you ever sit down to evaluate and see you have some deep rooted issues? Go out and touch grass sometimes, whilst i hope you find the help you so desperately need.

Let me break down your ignorance systematically.

1. You did insult me by calling me a toddler. You didn't even bother to face my logical points.

2. My posts here are very informative. I actually contribute a lot here. I even influence some people to start watching movies at the cinema.

3. You assumed that I didn't reply you at first because I had nothing to say and that i was later egged on. After watching the flash, I was watching transformers when your comment landed. You see how assumptions can make an asss out of you?

4. Don't think too highly of yourself. I replied your review because it is part of a growing trend of consistent ignorant reviews on this thread that I am getting fed up of. It's not you personally.

1. Who are the "we" in that statement?

2. What do you mean by you tolerate me here? Is this your family house? Are you high or what?

Sometimes, when you insult someone, you are insulting yourself.

See better Squad

We're getting great movies back 2 back, nothing like the mid DCEU used to give us.

I can't wait for the upcoming DCU.... Now I need some key actors and characters announced.

Extraction 2: 8/10
Genre: Action

Now that's hardcore action at it's finest, 98% of the movie was wrapped in premium vawulence, no time for drama or chit chat.

Be prepared for 2hours of heart pounding, explosive action and thrills that'd envelope you from the very first scene to the closing credits. Just switch off your brain grab your popcorn and enjoy.

Kandahar:6/10
Genre: Action

This was kinda similar to Guy Ritchie's The Covenant. Solid action movie no doubt, but in terms of realism of the action scenes, The Covenant tops it.

Nice cast, Gerard Butler doing what he knows how to do best. It was also nice seeing Travis Fimmel outside the Vikings series.

abduleez1:


I can't wait for the upcoming DCU.... Now I need some key actors and characters announced.

The biggest problem now is that DC brand have zero goodwill.

A DC movie being successful should be seen as a miracle nowadays because the general audience do not care anymore.

James Gunn has an uphill battle ahead of him with Superman Legacy.

It's not enough for this movie to be good, it needs to be GREAT.
It needs to be James Gunn's magnum opus else it will struggle.

This movie will make or break the new DCU.

The stakes are too high.

It is like everybody was waiting for Extraction 2 to come out

There's absolutely nothing wrong in rating a move B+, A- etc. Each individual or group uses what metric pleases them. It might interest you to know that Metacritic, one of the most trusted movie critics out there, uses alphabet ratings.


I think your issue with him is his criticism of the movie plot.

Kandahar 3/10. that movie bore me die.
Sisu 3/10. another over hyped movie

But very few people actually use the Alphabet grading system for movies. If you noticed, I mentioned imdb and rottentomatoes.

Also, rating something A or B or B- is not standard across countries. B- in USA is 80 to 82%, but in UK, B- is 60- 64.99%


But wait! Metacritic uses percentage and fraction!
