- KainMarch 14, 2025not that bad! i think the ending was stupid especially after the leaks had a different actor. supergirl was pretty dope.
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 23, 2025A new Dc Comics movie. Having seen previous ones not least 'Batman Vs Superman' 'Aquaman' and 'Justice League' will help a lot, otherwise you might get a bit confused. This is a loose adaptation of a DC comics story from 2011 called 'Flashpoint.' In which the Flash - Barry Allen - tries to save his mother from being killed when he was a boy. But finds that tampering with time has consequences. He's stuck in the new timeline. Batman here looks a little different. Can he fix things and get back to his right time? I am a DC fan first and foremost, so I am a bit biased. Or maybe it means that I'm just prepared to give things a chance. Also to go to the cinema and enjoy myself. As a result, I loved this. One of the best live action superhero films I've seen. You know sometimes you see a film and you think they clearly got the script sorted first? This is one of those. Solid and it flows perfectly. It hits the ground running [no procession of production company logos]. Has a wonderfully paced opening sequence that tells you all you need to know. And whatever you think of Ezra Miller the person, Ezra Miller the actor is amazingly good here, showing someone who has been scarred by past trauma. Then playing a dual role and making both parts very distinct characters. It is a Flash movie first and foremost. With some Batman. Barry gets great emotional arcs and a heroes journey. It really considers what this new world would be like - one brilliantly funny scene - and an awful lot of it was clearly filmed live. I did think I recognised some of the locations. And I was right. There's not that much cgi apart from when he's running and only a little bit of back projection. Said cgi is actually quite good, and any bits the internet didn't like are actually blink and you'll miss it. Michael Keaton is superbly understated. It uses a certain bit of music to fabulous effect. It was also great to see a big battle scene where there was genuine jeopardy and it didn't feel as if anyone was safe. The whole film doesn't play out entirely as I expected it to. Which was a pleasant surprise. Sasha Calle also makes an impression as Supergirl. Would be nice to see more of her in the role. I also love getting to first performances of films, and discovering them for myself. That way you can avoid spoilers and be genuinely surprised. And this does that. Several times. Seriously avoid spoilers. Seriously. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Well worth a watch.
