Movie: The Flash- Flashpoint (2022)

[spike]

I dont usually care too much, but those fx look awful.

Are they gonna have keaton jumping around like he's spider-man? They are, aren't they?

The trailer I saw, they totally did. Or maybe it was Clooney.

[spike]

The Keaton wig is technically an effect too.

Just came out from this one.

I had so much fun. Even if there are some clunky vfx moments, and most of the times the humor is not good; the movie is a blast and Miller is very very good in this.

Keaton rules.

Spoiler: show

Holy shit nic cage! I laughed. Also laughed at Clooney.

Man I’ll miss Affleck as Batman. I loved him as Wayne.

The babies free-falling is the most unintentionally funny thing I’ve ever seen. Protecting a baby by putting them in a microwave?!

[The Argonaut]

The best superhero movie of all time? Hahahaha, this thing is a messy piece of garbage

[Mecca]

My non-spoilery review:
-this didn’t feel like a 2 1/2 hour movie
-lots of bad cgi
-Ezra Miller was great
-I cried

[The Argonaut]

My non-spoiler review:

oh my god so much bad cgi. like, what is the point?

painfully unfunny, but boy does it try to be funny. It doesn't try a lot of different things, it just does different versions of the same joke pattern over and over and over

no stakes

bad

How was Micheal Keaton?

How was Micheal Keaton?

Fine. Too many scenes of a CGI Batman kicking ass though

[Jorge]

I think I liked this?!?

Man I’ll miss Affleck as Batman. I loved him as Wayne.

was it just me or when he and barry were having the conversation and he got into the car he looked more like ewan mcgregor?

i thought ezra really acted his ass off in this thing. like others have said the CGI was just bad.

it also seemed like a lot of the ideas were already done in the MCU's multiverse/comics

i liked the cameo on the bridge as well as the Who the fuck is that?!


id give it a solid 6-7 outta 10

I'm not sure this worked at all but I really, really liked it.

I can only assume all the bad, unnecessary CGI was a result of the movie being rearchitected in light of the DCEU falling apart, needing to repurpose the movie at the 11th hour. They probably had to create a bunch of new stuff on the fly and didn't have access to the actors.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun despite its glaring flaws. I wish they'd taken a shot at this movie 5 or 6 years ago.

And the Jon Peters spider creature was *Chef's kiss*

[Jorge]

It's weird, the more I think back to this movie the more confused I am as to whether I actually liked it or not. I think I did?! It's messy and weird and thematically muddled and has some of the most awful CGI I've ever seen but I also found it extremely fun and very moving at parts. Yeah I did cry during that scene. Also Sasha Calle was both very good and smoking hot. Interesting that the film takes the Zack Snyder Justice League as canon and not the Whedon one (it references both Barry saving Iris West from the car accident and Barry traveling back in time during the battle against Steppenwolf, both things that were removed from the Whedon JL), Overall it might be a fitting end to the Zack Snyderverse; a decade-plus of confounding choices, fascinating failures, and flashes of greatness.

[Ensign9]

Well said.

Saw it last night.

The CGI was most egregious during the falling wing sequence. Most of the rest of it wasn’t totally bad. But

Spoiler: show

the babies looked terrible and not even remotely real.

The cameos were all great and done well. I loved all the little nods to the first Keaton Batman film. I figured out the big bad in the time bubble fairly quickly. Wasn’t expecting the fight with Zod to end like it did but it was done well. Part of me wonders if they reworked it after seeing what was done in that last Spider-Man movie.

It was just a really fun movie that I will actually watch again. First DC movie in a very long while I’ve said that about.

The after credits scene is a waste of time.

[Peeps]

so was it ever stated that the flash who traveled back in JLA was alt-barry. the head gear kind of adds up but the facial hair doesnt (least i recall there was facial hair)
