SURPRISING, not Only the Movie which was So Unlike the recent crop or Superhero Schlock coming from...'the Majors' lessay, but by the lukewarm reviews I feel were Quite Unwarranted, as I felt this was one of the Most Refreshing takes on the genre in recent Memory- not ONLY the writing and the Acting, which I quite Liked, but by the STORY, which was a lot meatier and Interesting than the NORM. And the FLASH was Always one of my Faves since childhood, so I'm glad they didn't totally ruin the Flash 'Magic' for me. Of course the 'modern' Flash did not really capture all of the old Flash's charm and ingenuity Either....but I'll overlook that. I liked his association with Batman, and how they managed to include many of the other actors and actresses that played somewhat iconic superheros of recent films, and going Waaay Back too! I for one thought they did a Good Job, and found it Well Worth the Admission!! Not the 'usual' superheor movie, had some imagination and twists. My one critique: Wish they had been more Faithful to the Original Flash regarding abilities, costume, quirks, and Character. Everything does NOT have to be seen thru a 2023-style lens and sensibility, or even take PLACE in so-called 'Modern Times' Remember Hollyweird: This WAS a Comic Book!! Keep the SOUL of a thing, once inna while! But for what it WAS, I still liked it. You can read between the lines. Oh BTW- KEATON was the Soul of BADASSERY!! LOVED HIM! Clooney, Reeves, et all showing up was Fun, but...ENUF w/the MULTIVERSERY BS please. I'd prefer aliens to That again. But that's ME. Sequel: Flash vs. the Little Mermaid and Mario tag team?
