The Flash's Biggest Enemy? Creative Bankruptcy, Say Unimpressed Fans
The Flash is finally out, and the viewers don't exactly hold back their reactions. While some loved the movie, it still appears that many people borderline hated it.
Now that The Flash is out, the time for us to play Mythbusters has come.
The myth we're going with today is "The Flash is the best superhero movie of all time," and it's been widely believed by the audience thanks to overwhelmingly excited reviews by big-name early viewers like Zach Snyder, James Gunn, and Tom Cruise to name a few.
Today, The Flash finally hit the theaters, and waves of skeptics and enthusiasts flooded cinemas all over the world.
Those are the early birds, and there will be many more to watch and review the movie — but for now, we already have the reaction of the first few viewer waves, and they're not holding back their opinions.
Many people are straight-up decimating the movie, claiming everything is wrong with it. Fans can't help but point out dozens of flaws in The Flash: CGI, plot, pacing, lead actor's acting, and many mothers.
Most of them call the movie "mediocre at best" and "4/10" while stating it was a waste of their time… You get the drill.
"The Flash is a soul-sucking vortex of wasted potential and creative bankruptcy. Ezra Miller acts like someone sucked the life out of him and replaced it with a monotone robot programmed to deliver lines with the emotional depth of a stillborn baby… The Flash might actually be worse than Birds of Prey," claims Twitter user Yeticast.
Of course, just as we thought, the CGI turned out to be a tremendous failure.
Even before the release, judging solely from the trailers, fans were pointing out that the VFX in The Flash look like they belong in a mid-2000s video game, and now it's confirmed. Viewers call The Flash's CGI "unforgivable for a $200 million movie."
With that said, even the people that are generally not impressed with the movie tend to point out that Michael Keaton's performance in his long-awaited return as Batman was simply unmatched, and the new Supergirl, Sasha Calle, also received a lot of praise — fans even state that it's shame she didn't get more active screen time.
The Flash hit big screens on June 15.
