#TheFlash Review

#TheFlash 🦇⚡🦸
2023- English - Theatre
Starring : Ezra Miller , Ben Affleck , Micheal Keaton , Sasha Calle , Micheal Shanon and Ron Livingston
Directed by Andy Musch Muschietti

Plot : Set after the Events of Justice League , Barry Allen AKA The Flash travels back in Time to save his Mom from dying. But in the process, Barry messes up the timelines and gets stuck in the past without powers. How he retrieves his powers and set things right forms the rest of the crux.
 Ezra has done a done good job portraying two characters and has shown pretty good differences between them. Ben Affleck who gets a Extended Cameo is terrific. Micheal Keaton returns to playing the Caped Crusader after so long and is still intact ! He's done a great job. Sasha Calle as Supergirl gets a good role and performs average. Michael Shannon as Zod is wasted.

Technically, the film has its Own Strengths. The Film's Background Score by Benjamin Wallfshich is great. Editing could've been much sleeker and faster but Editing during the Running Sequence and Fights were really good. Humour Works majorly at many places also it falls flat at times.

On the Downside , The Visual Effects are horrible. It is very substandard that looks so cheesy and Unintentionally Funny beyond a Point. Also the Story seems to be pretty cliche till a point . The Story has so many Scientific Theories explained that those who have not seen much of Time Travel Movies/read books might feel a little bit overwhelmed. Feels like Zod and Supergirl were just bought in to increase hype otherwise they were wanted terribly . Also every viewer knows that the Entire DC Timeline is going to be reset , so with that mindset fixed , the Audience were not able to take any events in the film seriously .

Writers John Francis and Jonathan Goldenstein have chosen a Great Comic "The Flashpoint" and tried to adapt it to big screen . Though the Story looks very similar to every Time Travel Movies , the Superhero twist is what makes it different. A Decent screenplay by Christina Hodson. Andy's Direction is good but somewhat the wholesome feeling of watching a DC Film was missing.
But for Comic Readers and Ardent followers of DCEU , the film might work.

Highlights : 
1) Batfleck Sequences
2)Keaton's Comeback
3)A Couple of Unexpected Cameos
4) Bombastic Climax battle(still poor VFX)

Overall : A Fun and Emotional Superhero Film that could've been the Best Superhero film from DC if they had focused more on creating a stronger and compelling story that gives more impact. Nevertheless , the film will satisfy all the Superhero movie fans and comic fans. Those who have seen the series , the film might/might not go well with them.

Also Ben Affleck Deserved a Better Send Off🥺❤️🦇

Rating : 3/5

And the best part is , his performance in this entire film is very subtle and powerful. Nagarjuna as the Antagonist look...
