The Flash (I) (2023)
6/10
Terrible CGI was distracting

I really didn't know what to make of this.. I was surprised by the tone, it is much less darker than the other DCEU movies and is tonally similar to Wonder Woman 1984.

The opening scene for me rang alarm bells.. the CGI is absolutely laughable with utterly ridiculous scenes bordering of complete silliness. Superman 3 comes to mind. It literally features the worst CGI I have seen in a long time, it felt like I was watching an animated cartoon.

The tone then shifts to darker territory briefly when the plot moves along, before suddenly jolting you back to the lighter silliness.

Ezra Miller does an ok job in the titular role. He seems to be having fun with the character as does Michael Keaton, who steals the scenes when he finally appears on screen.

There are many clever cameos throughout, however brief some may be and it feels like a nice homage to the DC movies of yesteryear.

Overall, yeah the CGI was terrible and it tries hard and fails to deliver what Spiderman NWH did much better, but it's a fun ride nevertheless and I did enjoy it.
