00:00 Finally, after many delays due to unfortunate reasons, The Flash has finally come to an end, bringing us a very important mission, restarting the DC Cinematic Universe.
00:08 Before its release, the film had been criticized by two opposing opinions, one side praised it as one of the best hero movies ever made,
00:16 the other side was surprised and did not hesitate to criticize when the main male actor Ezra Miller left too many rumors about his unfortunate life.
00:23 So, between these two big waves, how did The Flash perform? Will the film make Warner Bros. blind or will it be a hit with DC in the chaos of rumors?
00:32 We should enjoy this film because the film will give us the confirmation right after.
00:37 As usual, before going to the review, we will go through the main content of the film and some information I think you should know.
00:46 The Flash revolves around Barry Allen, one of the iconic characters of the DC Universe. The original setting of the film is 10 years after Barry's super speed,
00:54 which means he is used to being a hero. Like all other superheroes, Barry has to live two lives, one side is a criminal analyst, the other side is a friendly young man in a red shirt.
01:05 Looking at it from the outside, it seems fine, but in fact, Barry has a great sorrow.
01:09 He still hasn't overcome his mother's sudden death and is trying to save his father, but everything is in vain.
01:16 The setting stimulates the intense feelings inside Barry, making him decide to run back to the past to save his life.
01:23 Since then, everything around the main male actor has changed dramatically, pushing him into a battle with a huge scale and risk.
01:29 In addition to Ezra Miller, the film also features the appearance of Ben Affleck, Supergirl Sasha Kae and Batman 90s Michael Keaton.
01:37 The film is directed by Andy Muschietti, who used to make a name for himself with two parts of the film "It".
01:42 That's all you need to know about The Flash. And now, let's get to the most important part of the video.
01:48 Because this film has the role of resetting the entire DC Universe, I will start with the film content.
01:54 A good story can only be effective when it is re-designed, right?
01:57 I'm really glad, because The Flash is a film with quite a few advantages in terms of story.
02:01 First, the way the film explores the Flashpoint event in the story. Although inspired by one of the biggest turning points of the DC Universe,
02:08 the film is not a story of fear, but a story of development that is almost independent.
02:12 However, the film is not completely different from the original, but still keeps the impressive details.
02:16 For example, how Barry regains his strength, or a prisoner who has been in prison for a long time is suddenly seen with the eyes of the sky.
02:22 All of this makes the feeling both strange and familiar, making the audience want to know what is going to happen.
02:28 Speaking of the flashpoint, I see a significant difference between the story and the film.
02:33 In the comic, Flashpoint affects many people, changing their story.
02:37 However, the film is mainly focused on Barry Allen.
02:40 Thanks to that, we have a story full of emotions of the main character.
02:43 The filmmakers did not spend much time to show a close relationship between Barry and his mother,
02:47 and the journey from her birth to his life, making the time travel decision of the main male character become convincing.
02:53 When the hero is shot to a new reality, the audience is expected to see two Barry Allen.
02:58 Here, the story continues to develop well when it shows the opposition between the two bodies reasonably.
03:04 On one side is Barry, who is trying to find a way to fix his behavior, different from his character in the previous films.
03:10 On the other side is Barry, who is 18 years old, naive and stupid, not aware of the responsibility of a superhero.
03:16 It's interesting because this young man brings humorous moments in a convincing and graceful way,
03:21 keeping the risks that Barry is facing, helping the atmosphere of the film always at a balanced level,
03:26 not too tense and not too tense.
03:29 On the other hand, the opposite of the above does not only help the story develop,
03:32 but also shows the audience how a Barry has grown up after a decade of having superpowers.
03:37 If at the beginning of the film, Barry is a tense person, and Barry is a person who holds back that tension,
03:42 then at the final stage of the investigation, those two roles are exchanged.
03:46 I really like this method because it shows that this couple has really developed and changed in their consciousness,
03:51 as well as the darkness when they put on the hero's shirt.
03:55 No matter how strong, fast, healthy you are, you still can't escape the darkness of life.
04:00 In general, Barry is young and Barry is mature, creating a feeling of a rebellious couple.
04:05 They are excited, playfully, quarrel, but not frantic.
04:08 This balance made me believe that the father really won himself at the end of the film,
04:12 and his choice at that time will touch the hearts of many people.
04:16 However, this character will not create such an emotional effect if it is not shown by Ezra Miller.
04:21 Not to mention that this is Miller's first show since he stepped into acting.
04:26 The actor successfully portrayed two opposite-minded characters,
04:30 which made me really believe that this is the Barry Allen who is alive, not just a dead body.
04:34 Miller's interactions with himself are also shown to be smooth, not afraid of anything,
04:38 easy to attract attention, as well as to touch the emotions of the audience.
04:42 The actor acted so well that I can assure you that you will not know where the real Barry is.
04:47 By the way, not only Ezra Miller is good at touching emotions, we also have multiverse.
04:52 In this film, Warner Bros. has decided to build a very different multiverse theory about Marvel.
04:56 How different is it, you can find out by yourself to avoid being spoiled.
04:59 The quite vague information about the multiverse is shown through the explanation of the player Michael Keaton.
05:04 The words of Ezra Miller are short, go deep, and have more intuitive elements, so it's quite easy to digest.
05:10 However, the most noteworthy thing is that all the warnings of Batman Keaton are true,
05:15 creating the collision phenomenon that Marvel has mentioned.
05:18 Although The Flash has the purpose of restarting the DC universe, I still feel excited about this way,
05:31 because it brings a darker, more direct perspective on the multiverse,
05:35 which is being experimented by big movies like Marvel or DC.
05:40 In the dark of the night, in the middle of the multiverse, standing in front of such a death scene,
05:44 the audience is again overwhelmed by the appearance of a series of familiar characters.
05:47 To avoid affecting your experience, I will not reveal who it is,
05:51 but they will definitely make DC fans become fans.
05:54 Not to stop there, the faces that used to be the pillars of DCEU are also separately recognized,
05:59 thereby closing the long road for many years.
06:02 In short, Flash is a story full of emotions,
06:04 exploring the inner workings of the main character in a way that not many DC movies have done before.
06:08 In addition, the film is ready to darken the universe,
06:11 opening a future with many possibilities for DC.
06:14 Therefore, this work will suit many audiences,
06:17 from DC fans to the crowd of general public.
06:20 But, speaking of which, I have to say that the content of The Flash is not perfect yet,
06:24 because of some flaws later.
06:27 The first flaw is in the character line-up, specifically the Batman, Supergirl or General Zod.
06:32 Because we have to divide the time with the main story of Barry and the multiverse,
06:37 the story of the new superheroes has not been thoroughly developed.
06:40 For example, we cannot see the past of the old Batman affect the new Batman.
06:44 Therefore, the changes in his emotional side will be partially affected by the audience who do not know much about the DC world.
06:50 Supergirl also falls into the same situation.
06:53 The information about her past is only shown through a few short dialogues,
06:57 making the emotional scenes not as effective.
07:00 Zod is also dim, with a small amount of appearance,
07:02 but does not show the power of the Lord as in Man of Steel.
07:05 But I think this problem will not affect the experience of watching the movie,
07:09 because after all, Zod is not the main villain,
07:11 not the one who has a conflict with the main character,
07:14 but it is Dark Flash.
07:16 This character, although he is well-explained and very sophisticated,
07:19 but there is a slightly exaggerated scene.
07:21 The way to solve the Dark Flash is like sitting on a ship to the top,
07:25 then it's like boom, out of power and you're thrown into the air.
07:28 However, the above problems cannot make the rumor come true that
07:32 The Flash has a very simple content.
07:34 The film is balanced by many factors, from family, humor to action,
07:37 the idea of bringing the audience on a real emotional ship.
07:41 But just the story is not enough to make a successful project in the ticket office.
07:45 We also need the image.
07:47 So what did The Flash do in this scene?
07:51 Although the film is being mocked and not regrettable in terms of the visual,
07:54 it cannot deny some bright points.
07:56 The most noteworthy is Michael Keaton's Batman.
07:59 He not only has cool lines, but even when it comes to beating, it's also on fire.
08:03 The Bats' phasadons, although not accompanied by superpowers,
08:06 but still very strong, very exciting, like watching Black Adam play the enemy.
08:10 Even in some moments, this character shines brighter than Flash and Supergirl.
08:15 In a similar direction, Flash also has the opportunity to show new abilities,
08:18 such as shooting arrows, moving objects, creating whirlwinds,
08:21 and cannot ignore the ability to move quickly to the point of time freeze.
08:24 Right at the beginning of the film, The Edge of the Abyss has developed this power
08:27 to give it to the children in the hospital.
08:29 There is a mention of the Quicksilver section using the power in the X-Men game.
08:33 It's a pity that The Flash's image is only strong in those places.
08:37 As for the problem, we have to take the whole window out.
08:39 I think not many people will agree that the CGI of The Flash really has a problem.
08:45 This is clearly shown when the main character goes into Speed Force.
08:48 All the characters and details appearing in this space are so fake that it's hard to believe.
08:52 So all of them are computer products from the early 2000s.
08:55 It's a little bit more reliable than this.
08:57 But it's still nothing compared to the multiverse section at the end of the film.
09:06 Everything is designed no different from a computer game, easy to make you feel tired, difficult to focus.
09:11 The cameos at the beginning of the film look cool, but they are all computer products.
09:16 So the audience's emotions can't reach the point of explosion.
09:19 Just pay attention a little bit, you will see that something is wrong.
09:23 Even The Flash has some very weird frames, such as this.
09:28 The director of the film gave an explanation for this.
09:31 He intended to show Barry's "cat's eye" angle.
09:33 But even if it's intentional and believable, it doesn't make sense.
09:38 Because there are many scenes that don't happen in Speed Force but still have a considerable quality.
09:42 For example, the scene where Supergirl fights to escape from the prison.
09:45 The scene where Barry and Barry rush into the lab to regenerate their strength.
09:49 And especially the speed racing scenes of The Flash.
09:51 Flash's running is so cool, the way he interacts with the environment is also very cool.
09:55 He doesn't interfere with the environment around him.
09:58 To be honest, sometimes the scenes of The Flash running in CW look even cooler.
10:03 Of course, the film's details are not always bad.
10:06 There are still some eye-catching scenes.
10:08 The most eye-catching is when the two Flash fight at the end of the film.
10:11 But with the budget of up to 200 million, that's still too little.
10:15 The audience is completely reasonable when asking the question.
10:17 Where did the money invested in the film really go?
10:20 In short, for those who expect a cool, firework-inspired work,
10:23 with a lot of fire in the ground like Black Adam,
10:25 Flash will be quite difficult to enjoy.
10:27 Because only Batman Keaton can reproduce that power.
10:30 And he doesn't appear much anymore.
10:32 So you will have to witness more scenes of smoke.
10:35 It affects the experience of the movie a lot.
10:37 For those who care more about the story,
10:39 especially the life of Barry Allen and the future of DC,
10:43 The Flash is a really cool project.
10:45 The film has shown the core of Barry Allen's personality,
10:48 has shown the realistic reality of being a superhero,
10:50 and opens a future with a lot of potential for both DC movies.
10:54 All the above factors combined with the wonderful acting of Ezra Miller
10:58 create a story rich in emotions and worth watching.
11:04 Finally, a part of the audience is completely reasonable when saying
11:07 The Flash is one of the best superhero movies they've ever seen.
11:11 However, the core elements that make a firework-inspired work
11:14 do not satisfy the audience.
11:16 This makes The Flash face a lot of challenges on the way to making money,
11:20 and even lose his white.
11:22 Hopefully, The Flash will not only be a memorable work of DC,
11:26 but also a valuable lesson for the film industry to improve more,
11:29 open an impressive cinematic universe in the future.
11:33 May the force be with you.
11:35 I'm gonna make him an awfully good man.
11:38 Play as time goes by.
11:41 Hasta la vista, baby.
