Movie Review: The Flash
The Flash
A new, long awaited addition to the DC Cinematic Universe has finally arrived, and with a bang. This is more than a superhero film, packed with nostalgia. It offers the best character development and emotional storytelling seen in recent films, let alone action/comic book films.
Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation.
It was fun to see the Flash back on screen and get his own feature film, but the true highlight is the return of Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Michael Keaton has not reprised his role as the world’s greatest detective since 1992’s Batman Returns, and the wait is well worth it. There are countless Easter eggs for all the die hard DC fans out there, so keep your eyes peeled, and see if you can spot them all!
The film is one big action and emotional roller coaster, from start to finish. The Flash is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some strong language and partial nudity.
