The Flash Movie Review: Confounding Choices
Watch this movie right now:"The Flash" felt like the culmination of everything that has gone wrong for the now defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU). This film had a lot of highs but also a lot of lows. A lot of choices that perplexes and a lot of choices that seemed reasonable. It never really found its identity and its footing and what we get is a fun albeit flawed experience. With the competition being able to produce more compelling multiverse experiences, "The Flash" just turns out to be lackluster. If the intention was to make this as the jumping point for the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) then things aren't looking so well even at this early flashpoint.
When Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) accidentally discovers that he can use the speed force to go back in time, he decides to change the past in an attempt to save his mother and father at the same time. But by saving his parents, Barry has accidentally created an alternate timeline that has no Superman to stop General Zod (Michael Shannon) from making Earth into New Krypton. Without the Justice League to help him, Barry must find a way to make things right again on his own.
