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?

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

For 2/3 of The Flash -- and it's too long -- it's kind of fun... in the last sections it becomes slightly video game-ish.

“The Flash” is centered in the sweet spot between action, comedy, and heart because is is grounded in a deep affection for the source material but is not afraid to play with some of its absurdities.

Rated: B+

Blame the ancient Greeks for inventing the general idea of the multiverse. Blame DC for propagating the concept in one of itsFlashcomics in 1961. And blame anyone you like for this hot mess of a film.

Michael Keaton is the main reason to see “The Flash” (2023), the 13th film in the DC Extended Universe. Feel free to arrive at the theater under one hour late to see a decent Batman sequel otherwise you will be peeking at your watch

Firstpost

Despite having fun throughout, The Flashisn't flawless, especially in its final act. But Miller as the eponymous superhero is clearly having fun, and so are the other key characters that wouldn't think twice.

Rated: 3/5

Tyrell the storyline is good the guy who played the flash sucks Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Nick A Grand view into the stunning performance of what Beyoncé brings. The Renaissance World Tour will forever go down in history as one of the most iconic tours to ever grace this earth. Beyoncé shows her flaws and all in this documentary and shows the opulence of the 2023 Renaissance Tour. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Geffrey This has a good story. Funny and filled with action. The Batmen, Batmans are all perfect plated by each iconic actors that played them. Besides the main actors personal mishaps in real life, this movie is a plus in the Snyderverse franchise. It was definitely enjoyable. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Amber B It was boring and the story didn't make any sense. Batman was the only reason I didn't walk out of this movie and also the fact I had a couple of drinks during the movie so I could not drive home.
