Movie review: EzraMiller speeds back to the future in TheFlash, fueled by calories and cameos. theFlash
"The Flash" -- ★ ★ ½ "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature," went a famous '70s commercial catchphrase. But we learn in"The Flash" -- the much awaited, long gestated new DC Studios offering -- that it's Father Time one musn't cross. Because trying to change the past can really mess you up when you get back to the future and realize you've inadvertently changed that, too.
If only the whole film, directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Christina Hodson, felt this breezily clever and entertaining. Alas, the final act bogs down in what feels like an endless, generic CGI battle and a kitchen-sink resolution that leaves one feeling just a little exhausted and somewhat confused.
And now we must take a moment to consider the elephant in the room. Because it sure seems the movie wants us to. In any case, that line also sets a tone for many self-referential quips and sequences in a film that seems to thrive on, well, referring to itself and its roots. In this, the first stand-alone"Flash" film, the lineage of past Batmans, Supermans and associated characters is evoked early and often through surprise cameos. At one moment it feels like we're watching an Oscar memorial reel; it garnered reverential applause at the screening I attended.
But Barry goes back anyway and makes a change, and what do you know -- oops! -- a younger Barry shows up And now, for reasons too tough to explain within our word limit, Barry senior is potentially stuck in the wrong universe with Barry junior.
