Film Review: The Flash
I have to warn you now that this review is wrong. It’s not just aesthetically wrong but, by all accounts, it’s morally wrong. I can’t begin to express it’s wrongheadedness. But it is what it is: a review that disagrees with nearly every other review that’s out there. Let’s get on, then, with being wrong.
The easiest bit of this to explain is the moral problem. You see, I went to see The Flash based entirely on the trailers. I knew nothing about the production, the star, or even the superhero. Admittedly, whilst not a huge Marvel movie fan, I have a soft spot for the darker grittier DC universe. Yet I never watched The Flash TV show, and I certainly don’t ever recall watching Ezra Miller. My only verdict on him was that he seemed annoying in the trailer. I wanted to see the movie for Batman (more about him later) and Supergirl (a lot more about her later). The Flash himself was the least of my considerations and absolutely no thought went into the lead actor.
