Lmao just barely. I saw this this past Saturday, ye it was fun little romp of nostalgia, and the random, albeit silly cameos in the speed force scene (c’mom who didn’t mark out when Nick showed up?) it wasn’t terrible but have seen better outings by DC.

I'll download it and rewatch the Keaton scenes a couple more times. Then I'll probably never look at it ever again.

That is kind of where I'm at on it as well. There was literally not a single "Flash" scene doing superhero stuff that I thought was great. The captivating action was 100% Keaton.

To take it a step further, I'd say that there was no Flash moment in this movie that was remotely as good as "The Flash turning back time" scene from the Snyder Cut of JL.

July 18th is when I'll watch it then. Usually the illegal streaming websites have it up in HD a few days before it releases officially.

Can't wait to watch this at 1.5x speed for free. Like the Flash I'll be done with this in no time flat.

I feel like this could’ve been better had they given Ezra the boot and just had Grant Gustin step in and replace Miller but who knows if he even could’ve helped. Imo it wasn’t horrible but again could’ve been better. Way too many plot-holes and things left unexplained and like other reviewers have said, stuff just added for nostalgia purposes without explanation

There really isn't any way to replace Barry Allen actors in this without reshooting the whole movie again. He's in almost every shot and usually there is TWO of him. Of course, my preference would have been James Gunn coming in, casting his own Barry Allen, and reshooting or CGIing him Ezra's stead. At least then we'd know this is a Flash movie that is going to matter.

The movie didn't bomb because of Ezra, it's for many different reasons and Ezra is probabl the smallest factor.
-DC just isn't cool with kids, it's the Android to iphone
-The DCEU was never popular, why would this be popular.
-Flash isn't even that well known of a hero
-Flash TV show fans likely noped out of the movie for 3 different reasons depending on the person: - 1-It wasn't "their flash", 2-They had just watched 9 years worth of flash, 3-the bad quality of later seasons made them lose interest in flash
-The whole multiverse thing is already getting played out, ironically DC started with the idea
-keaton is batman for boomers, most would've had nostalgia for Bale.
-Superhero fatigue in general, I don't see any movies not named say Avengers or Spider-Man doing great numbers anymore unless they have a big gimmick like RDJ returning or whatever. It's been mroe than 10 years, casuals have moved on and nerds alone can't make these expensive cape movies profitable, just like they couldn't in the past.

And no, Cavill or more Affleck wouldn't have saved the movie either. Ezra doing crazy stuff literally didn't affect it as much as the other factors mentioned. I doubt anyone actually boycotted the movie because of that. This movie "not mattering" is not an excuse, DC movies will continue to bomb even in the "reboot" universe. In fact if they had advertised as "The END of the DCEU" perhaps it would've done better.

Stupid post Flash is a well known hero one of the founding members of the Justice League. Flash has been around since 1940 which was Jay Garrick Barry debuted in 1956. So id say he is a well known hero.

But again this is coming from the same person who said "nobody cares about Wonder Woman" when the first WW movie came out and did really well at the box office

Oh, those spd's opinions...

[CyberCubed]

To be fair, I don't think these characters are that popular with today's generation of kids/teens, basically people born after the 2000's. With the obvious exception of Batman (who always has universal appeal), and to a lesser extent Superman, the rest of the DC lineup isn't really that mainstream with today's generation.

Most kids of today are still into anime, videogames, the MCU, etc. It's sorta similar to me in the 90's as a kid, I was always aware who all these superheroes were outside of Batman and Superman, but I didn't really care enough to find out about them. Back then there were no real movies or cartoons for them either (besides when the old Superfriends show rerun on Cartoon Network), so I didn't care too much.

Cubed and spd really need a new hobby.

A lot of times they say uncomfortable truths. Nothing is gained in silencing them.

Yes, but the second one didn't.

I speak this as a Diana fan, but...she hasn't had the best of years lately. You'd think with Gadot being the breakout she was, they'd know how to profile the character, but noone can seem to figure out what to do with her in the comics, she's gone through run after run with all sorts of tones and it doesn't seem to be working in regards to sales.

Prior to Gadot being a hit, most millennials exposure to her was as part of an ensemble in the Justice League cartoon and Flashpoint era animated movies where they were romancing her with Batman or Superman, and going nowhere with either of them. Diana didn't have a lot of episodes to herself in the JL cartoon either...except for the one where she was turned into a pig

It probably would have done better than it deserved if it hadn't dropped in the middle of COVID.

I am compelled to agree with this 100%.

Gadot was the best thing to happen to Wonder Woman in the history of the character. And I grew up watching Linda Carter as a kid being fascinated by that show
