Video Review – The Flash pays respect to DC Films legends including Zack Snyder & Richard Donner

June 16, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of The Flash…

The Flash had the daunting task of paying respect to all things DC Films while also trying to give the titular hero his most compelling story yet.

While it does rely on nostalgia and some awkward comedic bits too much, the love letter quality from The Flash makes it an endearing multiverse-style adventure. Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

The Flash is directed by Andy Muschietti (It) and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash alongside Kiersey Clemons (Iris West), Ben Affleck (Batman), Michael Keaton (Batman), Sasha Calle (Supergirl), Michael Shannon (General Zod), Antje Traue (Faora-Ul), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West), Ron Livingston (Henry Allen), and Maribel Verdu (Nora Allen).
