Yo I beat you 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇🥇🥇
I... I misread this as something more...unhinged.
I was hoping for this review to compare the film with the older 2013 version (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox), which not only was better written than this movie but also actually follows the soruce material from the book
Love the comeback of the long form content Adam.
But ..Grant Gustin is...Amazing for that Shit.
Imagine being however patient it is to enter a trillion passwords and giving up and deciding your mom has to die after two tries.
That was actually the other Barry, who's apparently way more patient, doing a quadrillion password and not trying to give up while the main Barry just gave up
@@hamclamcampThat's....I'll give them credit for that setup.
@@improvwithlions4173 unintentional for sure, but it technically exists
@@hamclamcampthere’s an interesting plot in there somewhere.
Also, wouldn’t a normal person go insane typing that many passwords into a computer just to find the right one? I usually get frustrated around the fifth try. And how come a highly sophisticated military computer doesn’t have an auto lock after too many tries? It’s just one scene but it already generates a buttload of inconsistencies.
Christian Bale refusing to be in this movie will always make me happy
Thank goodness!
Instead, he was in Thor Love and Thunder lol
@@CelestialDraconis At least he was generally considered the best part of that trash fire.
@@TheHolySemiColon That's still better than not being the usual lineup for Nolan's films. Come to think, Bale hasn't been in much movies and TV series in recent years.
What are you talking about he's one of the most popular highest paid actors literally in the world?@@thientuongnguyen2564
I shed a CGI tear when Batman said "you're gonna be a gay baby"
My favorite part of the movie
The only good part@@HE13272326
Unh...mmn...enh...HEY
Every CG tear in this movie is a cry for help from an animator who worked on this film
They did a bad job, they should be crying out of shame 😂
@@ludvig3242 Looks like your ignorant of the actual problems that animators face these days. 'They did a bad job' doesn't cut it in the slightest.
My favorite part of the movie was when flash looked at the camera and said "its flashin time!" And was arrested for indecent exposure.
How is this joke still working on me lol but i love it every time
he flashed something alright
@@picahudsoniaunflocked5426You have zoomer brain rot
That... Would've been a great twist! Barry was schizophrenic and hallucinating he was a superhero bc Superman's death triggered it. Better than the movie we got
I want to clear some misconception:
330 million dollar is Ezra Miller's bail money.
The CGI team budget is a pack of peanuts and a can of coke at a room temperature.
Coke was fake too Ezra swapped it with his piss.
😂 no straw.
@@MrTidx90 paper straw that dissolves in 15 seconds
"Can we put the coke in a fridg-"
"No"
I don’t think disorderly conduct coasted then $300 million
"This is the film equivalent of sewing a bunch of dead bodies together and passing it off as a living human being."
Has anyone pointed out yet that the black and white CG Superman cameo is George Reeves, who many believe committed suicide because he couldn't find a successful role outside of Superman and eventually began to resent the character? It was either that or murder and, either way, he has no living relatives or an estate that could sign off on this cameo in a movie released on the 64th anniversary of his death.
Dumbsville did, he even showed what Kevin Smith had to say about it. "When I'm fucking dead, you can literally do anything." It's messed up that they did that AND the fact people can defend such a thing.
Hell, he even brought up how both this and the Chip and Dale Movie made profit off of someone who was royally screwed over by their roles many years ago, just for some cheap story or cameo.
it's hilarious that Ezra's immediate response to someone dying is to frantically finger grope them
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Fun fact: although most of the special effects in this movie are CGI, the blood in Batman as he dies the second time is genuine. The director caught Ezra Miller beating the shit out of Michael Keaton and liked it so much he kept the blood for authenticity. Truly a cinematic masterpiece.
That shit was leftover spaghetti sauce.
wait he’s batman?
Bravo, Vince.
@@Fridgemasters Yeah. He's batman.
Michael Keaton could kick Ezra Miller's ass.
I love that the writers thought the audience wouldn't be able to understand the concept that Barry can run low on energy if he doesn't eat and decided to add the smart watch meter thing, meanwhile the writers of Paul Blart Mall Cop granted the audience enough trust that they'd understand he runs out of energy when his blood sugar is low.
Imagine being outdone as a storyteller by the writers of Paul Blart Mall Cop
Paul Blart is cinematic genius. Look up the Blart side of the moon if you don't believe me. You're welcome.
This proves that paul blart mall cop fans are smarter than the flash fans
Doesn't Paul Blart: Mall Cop, actually spend MORE screentime establishing a link between food calories and bodily energy?
That scene where he dramatically eats the lollipop off the ground is seared into my mind
I see we've reached the "it's the speed force, I ain't gotta explain shit" era of flash in record time for this universe.
I don’t see why using the Speed Force as the explanation for a fictional character who’s powers comes from a cosmic thing is a problem. Superman explanation is the sun radiation, Moon Knight explanation is the Egyptian Moon God, Black Panther explanation is the Egyptian Panther God, Spider-Man explanation is a spider bite, and Wolverine/ All Mutants explanation are their genes. Why The Flash having a simple explanation such as the Speed Force is something ppl can’t accept?
@@kingkodobigblackchewie9087"suspension of disbelief" works in mysterious ways.
One moment spiderman sticks to an teflon pan and everyone is ok with a spider bite but when the next moment Flash breaks the time, space and multiple universes; suddenly Speed Force isn't enough.
@@horusreloaded6387 thank you !!!!
Speaking nothing but facts. Did everyone forget what FICTIONAL in fiction means? Barry explanation for his powers are the very thing that gave him his powers. I don’t get why ppl just can’t accept the speed force.
@@kingkodobigblackchewie9087Consistency? Thats why. Otherwise the concept of stakes is practically obsolete if you can throw an deus ex machina anytime or question what even are the abilities of what the characters can even do continuously.
@@someguy198 The Flash powers had always been consistent I’ll agree and say the Flash movie was poor at showcasing what all he can do. But my problem is with ppl who act like the Speed Force is a terrible reason for why he can do what he can. It’s a source for his powers and is the reason. What’s next GL can’t have his ring and lantern be the source of his powers, or Hulk can’t have gamma radiation be the source of his powers, or Wolverine can’t have his mutant x gene be the source of his powers? It’s a stupid and dumb thing to get upset about because to them that’s not a reason. In the comics Barry rarely runs into the speed force to time travel since he had a cosmic treadmill he made to take his speed so he can run through time easily. Since he couldn’t do it whenever he wanted at first and the cosmic treadmill was his easy access to reach the speed enough to go into the speed force. And like in the comics he did it accidentally once in the movie and before in the JL movie which is constant with how speedster find out they can time travel if they aren’t learning from another speedster. Even in the DCEU his powers was constant, the only thing that wasn’t was he time travel standing still which was stupid and I’m glad they didn’t bring it back. But the time travel way in the Flash movie should’ve been erased and just had him running instead of standing still or having that sphere.
Barry 1 should have been the villain of this movie, considering how Barry 1 was the one who abused his power in the first place and gave up easily while Barry 2 was the one who kept trying to do the right thing million times over.
You're expecting the filmmakers could still differentiate 'good' and 'bad' while they still cast Ezra Miller in this
I think the worst part is that Barry 1 gave up so fucking quickly when he didn’t have to.
In Flashpoint, which also features a plot where the Flash saving his mother causes major differences in the timelines, the reason why Barry can’t just go back in time and keep on resetting is because, as a character put it, “Break the sound barrier, make a sonic boom. Break the time barrier, make a time boom”, which basically means that a lot of points in history have changed slightly that eventually goes so out of control that there are massive differences. Superman doesn’t land in the same place, Bruce dies instead of his parents, and so on.
This means that Barry can’t just keep going back and changing the timeline to get his perfect timeline. Meanwhile, in this movies no such rule is ever established and there isn’t an in character reason for him to just not keep on trying instead of standing there and doing nothing while Barry 2 does his thing.
Like, the Flash should never just give up like that. These are still people and have lives. Flashpoint basically forced Barry into letting his mother die because it was that or everyone dies.
Meanwhile, this Barry is like, “Damn, I failed twice, I have to let my mom die now I guess.”
My heart goes out to all the VFX artists who almost certainly crunched over this piece of garbage, you deserve better
This film taught me don't blame the employee blame the boss who gave the employee impossible tasks and limited deadlines on top of having to work with and in a way under Ezra Miller.
@@adrianschroeder2798 I mean it's pretty much always like that in big corpos
The VFX artists can still be bad
thank GOD that VFX workers are moving to unionize now
corporate losers get swept
@@sexylazercatwizard I don't think they would hire bad VFX artists, outsource at best (or worst?)
Crazy how Reverse Flash swapped the entire movie with a much worse one while none of us were looking.
Damn you, Thawne!
@@MrNickPresley *THONG
It was me, Adam. I went back and wrote the line "wait, he's Batman??" into the script.
Reverse Flash travelled back in time and planted evidence against Ezra Miller, that's insane.
IT WAS ME BARRY
This movie is an excellent example of why you should NOT have time travel in your story unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Not even! If you don't know what you're doing, DON'T TRY TO EXPLAIN THE THING THAT MAKES IT FICTION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.
21:34 Whoever told Ezra to run like this is a comedic genius.
Are his shoes banana peels tf lmao 🤣
they just told him to run funny.
My guess it was supposed to fit in with how VFX portray his run...but they just can't sell it, huh?
@@axelwust9376But why do the VFX portray his run that way in the first place? I never understood why this Flash never runs like a human being.
I appreciate you hammering on the "turn your brain off" excuse people give. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece, but corporate copy-pasted schlock like this needs to be condemned.
Especially with how much money is in it, hundreds of millions of dollars for a generic boring uninspired meh piece. Waste of time, resources, everything. How many small, new movies could have gotten made?
Yeah the same kind of people who constantly whine about that are the same people who think slurs and discrimination in real life is acceptable. They are weak and their legacy will serve as an example of social Darwinism for many years.
Exactly!
Right?! There are plenty of "turn your brain off" movies that are creative & written well.
I don't believe in that. People who say they turn their brains off and enjoy the movie have never had it turned on in the first time.
The director saying the bad effects were intentional is literally on the same level as Todd Howard saying "It's not a bug, it's a feature".
To be fair, a bug can be a feature.
Shitty graphics in a major AAA Hollywood superhero movie cannot be excused.
"Everything just works"
the difference is we love the bugs in bethesda games
"It just works"
I’m surprised adam didn’t bring up MCU Secret Invasion doing the same thing in that AI supposedly looks like the Skrulls.
the "calorie smartwatch" thing bothers me so much, like all they had to do was have him act and look exhausted after doing the super stuff, then have him say like "i really gotta remember to eat before doing this stuff..."
that's IT, that's ALL you need
In Spider-Verse 1, Peter and Peter B. both say ‘I’m so tired...’ during fight scenes, and I believed them - and they’re cartoons!
How is "Zod kills Supergirl" an "inevitable intersection" when the original reality Barry left didn't even have Supergirl at all and instead had Superman breaking Zod's neck??
Playing devils advocate here but keaten batman said that "some strands run parallel" I'm guessing that means Barry hopped into a different chunk of the universe or something still stupid asf
Its an "inevitable intersection" because thats what the writers wrote, you see.
@@fungamesandstuffwhy2516 why couldn't he just hop to a chunk where his mom lives and superman kills zod??? seems a bit silly really
Or, better yet, the 4 flashes jump his ass and kill him before Supergirl loses the fight.
Like… maybe I can understand Kara struggling because she likely didn’t get that much practice with her powers. However, what the fuck is anyone going to go against 4 Flashes? Like, just vibrate your fist through their heart like they did to the other guy.
Not to mention… how does the knife kill her? She’s getting the same doses of sunlight that the other kryptonians are, that knife shouldn’t be able to pierce unless it’s made of kryptonite, which it isn’t. But of course, this is the spaghetti time travel movie, were we really expecting other logic to hold true?
The fact that DC hailed this as their "No Way Home" will never stop making me laugh to this day
no way home is no better than this, no logic at all what do you want?
@@whoshoo No Way Home is better than this by a mile, because it actually respects its characters and uses its nostalgia to service the story, not act as pandering like The Flash does
@@whoshoo cope
@@whoshooL take
@@whoshoo Get your head out of the sand and look around. Rewatch The Flash, then Rewatch No Way Home and see if you can honestly come to the same conclusion.
The director really used the "Oh that? That's just my art style" excuse but on a multi million dollar movie.
So _true_ and your pfp makes your comment help cement your opinion so much
fr he really just went "it's a feature"
I'm sure when he turned in his homework late and half-finished, he'd say, "That's just my study style!"
That's my committee's art style.
It's the same thing with Synder. "Oh that? I like inept depressing Superman and Batman killing criminals. Got any problem?" I guess at the very least you can overlook the art style if you like the story enough. The same cannot be said with the core narratives.
Adam’s “wait, he’s Batman?!” Will never not make me laugh.
boy it sure was a decision to have supergirl die "inevitably" during the fight with zod even with the support of three other superheros. meanwhile superman was able to solo zod with limited injury. what a great story!
Gee, that’s a convenient coincidence
Supergirl hadn't been soaking up sunlight and adapting to Earth's environment for 33 years like Clark
AND they show us her many varying deaths over and over. How fun! Why’d they do that I wonder!
@@PaganMinDNW On top of that, it looked like she was soaked in red sunlight while she was imprisoned.
@@Lishadra did barry 1 ever try to save supergirl in the movie or naw? did they just try once with batman and barry 1 was like "sigh guess there's no avoiding it"
i'm surprised barry 2 didn't kick the shit out of barry 1 for being useless tbh
The fact that they had to CGI tears, because Ezra couldn't fake cry to save their life, speaks VOLUMES.
That's what happens when you're totally devoid of any emotions other than apathy or manic psychosis.
Stop saying “their”, all this progressive bullshit has led to us conforming to the pronouns of LEGITIMATELY CRAZY VIOLENT CRIMINALS. Once we start humouring the preferred delusions of a crazy and unstable people you know we’ve gone too far over this shit and need to shut it down.
@@fitzzcarraldousing someone’s pronouns correctly isn’t humoring them. We can criticize a bad person without being transphobic.
@candy-stars how do you feel about Chris-chans pronouns
@@inefffableoh the irony. You realise you’re the ones who are angry language doesn’t work how you want it to right? Like “they” is a plural pronoun, it CANNOT be used singularly. That’s just an objective fact. English professors have tried inventing new non-gendered singular pronouns for decades and none of them worked, yet “they” was never one of them. You guys get mad about this because you don’t like hearing that English doesn’t work the way your delusions want it to
Any movie with microwave babies deserves a 10/10

True story: I was in 3d animation in college and we had to make a short animated movie. My group was short one person from the other groups and we were so short handed that I didn't have time to actually finish the textures for the human character so I slapped on a checkerboard pattern and tried to pass it off as intentional. The instructor was not convinced, and rightly so. I see where he's coming from, the director. But yeah, it's actually a really shitty cop out. They should have given more money and support to the vfx artists
I like the consistency in Barry Allen being utterly incapable of opening up other heroes' latex costumes
My wife and I laughed so hard at the CGI baby’s that we cried. I can’t believe that was an actual movie. Warner put millions of dollars into this.

Everyone clapped. Obama was there.

Saw this in theaters with my boyfriend knowing it was going to be shit, at the part where his giant stupid fucking floating head appears on screen I burst out laughing uncontrollably, which had a bit of a ripple effect throughout the theater, my boyfriend ended up laughing so hard he had an asthma attack and we had to leave the movie for a good 10 minutes
All the suffering from asthma he endured in his life was worth it for this comedic moment.
You're the real-life Flash
Isn’t that Thor ragnarok?

@@tristan8539 Space Jam 2 review.
"This is an inevitable intersection!"
Says Barry from a timeline/universe/whatever where THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, and should therefore know that this is not inevitable.
"But moving the can of tomatoes made it inevitable," I can hear someone say, and that I need to point out how stupid that sounds shows how broken that thought process for the tomato can was.
Oh good lord I just realized this entire movie is an overlong explanation of the phrase, "opening a can of tomatoes."
"YOU eeUSE MONKEY. AS A DARTBOARD"
How did that not bring you to tears, Adum? 😔😔😔
It did. You just can’t see it because he didn’t have the CGI budget.
I love that Robert Zemeckis’ Polar Express technology got dusted off for these incredible effects. I was worried we would never see that flawless art ever again

"I've tried like twice to save it and this world is going to die" truly a superhero story for our world leaders.
Such an inspiration to our children, truly someone to look up to.
The movie we need now.
"See this other Flash trying desperarely to save, not only his family, but the entire planet, while hes going through extreme pain every attempt he does? He is the bad guy"
No seriously wtf were they thinking?!
This movie was so good that world leaders used it to plan their climate change policy
“We’ve tried nothin and we’re all out of ideas!”
Never understood why Barry never questioned being hit out of the time travel bubble thingy by some random person
Why does CGI these days look worse than stuff a decade or two ago? Seriously?
TLDR the CGI people have the capabilities to make it look good, but they’re given too little time and have to rush it. If CGI looks like it was made in a week, it probably was, to meet insane deadlines.
Films like lord of the rings used miniatures more than cgi in the end, nowadays its all computer generated garbage
@@henrynelson9301 and it's baffling that Monsters, the debut film by Godzilla (2014) and Rogue One Director, Gareth Edwards, had a budget of 500,000 dollars and was a CG heavy film that had effects that were a lot better.
@@ActivistBatonVI Everything Everywhere All at Once’s VFX weren’t even done by a studio, they were made in-house by like five people working from home. It’s not necessarily a CGI heavy film, and it’s certainly not trying to be Marvel, and it just looks gorgeous.
Time and also the way it's filmed. IIRC the Black Panther move had like 2 months to finish the CG, and 90% of shots needed CG. Directors also used to take lighting and the way things were shot into consideration to make the CG process easier. Many of the current superhero movies don't.

It's comforting to know that more people will watch this review than people who saw the movie in theaters.
Things like this reaffirm my faith in cinema loving audiences
I'm one of them. So glad this review exists so I don't have to watch this movie.
I saw the movie in theater and on HBO yesterday.
My wife and i still enjoyed it.
Ezra gets a bad rep from his IRL actions but the movie is entertaining- and funny at moments.
"bad rep" is kind of an understatement. Guy's a downright criminal
I literally saw this movie for 50 cents
Olivia did a fantastic job editing this 👏 i know Adum is super particular about the editing of his videos, much love and respect Olivia
Tomatoes opens divergent timelines. This is a rule. If he's mom was picking up broccoli the timeline wouldn't change.
I can't get over that shot of the floating Ezra Miller head with a second Ezra Miller in the background while they both stare at PS2 blob babies. It feels like fever-induced psychosis
Maybe that is Ezra Miller’s PoV whenever he goes to Hawaii
It’s straight out of Twin Peaks season 3
that was the moment in the movie I said out loud “what the fuck is going on”. Cuz it had also been like a straight minute of silence up to that point while he’s running in horrible CGI speed force land and you’re just supposed to understand what is happening even though none of it makes sense
These Aphex Twin music videos are getting out of hand, huh?
In love with the fact that the movie implicitly acts like Barry’s mom just died naturally and no one is actually responsible for it and it’s not worth it for Barry to view her death through time (without disrupting the timeline) and see who actually killed her and free his dad that way.
another mistake by adaptation because in flashpoint (and the tv show) the killer was zoom aka the reverse flash aka the main villain of the movie, he also searched for the killer but of course since it was a time travelling speedster that were no proof at all
@@ironmaster6496 as an outsider from the fandom who just wanted to see ezra miller roasted, the more i think about this movie the more im fully convinced an AI wrote this script or at least the outline of the movie bc it makes no sense at all
@@ironmaster6496yea but that whole Zoom reverse flash thing was always cheap.
His reasoning was garbage.
@@alimica Sadly, I think an AI might have been better as at least they could have instantly said, "hey, this part violates the rules you wrote back here" and the AI would actually attempt to fix it vs. the real screenwriter who simply could not be bothered.
This movie went through a multitude of rewrites, by the way. One of them was done by Grant Morrison - ya know, the guy who wrote All Star Superman, considered to be one of the best comic book writers in the industry and author of the best Superman comic ever. Yeah, the studio just vetoed that one out of the gate even when the insane deadline was met. Even worse, Ezra Miller was the one that got that rewrite done to begin with - the one good idea they had since it was obvious this movie always had problems.
They'd have to acknowledge Reverse Flash and they wanna save that idea for another shitty movie nobody will go watch. Flash 2: Flashpoint
That recorder or pan flute edit after he says he's gotta run at the speed of light (like 12:30 ish) is one of the funniest things I've seen all year. Thank you so much, I've been so fucking depressed recently and it was amazing to laugh for the first time in what feels like months.
Hollywood needs to give time travel related stories a rest. They barely understand it and implement it in an even less coherent way

I find it hilarious how the Flash successfully trying every single password in such a small time window implies that all you need to do to make a computer run faster is just type really fast
The worst part is the speed force can be infused into objects...making them faster.
Yeah, that’s always been super weird to me because like… only Flash can go that fast, not the bloody computer! Computers buffer and stutter and need time to process the inputs given. Flash could only go as fast the computer is capable of processing the keyboard inputs.
If the flash were doctor strange or faust this would make sense
He’d rather go through millions of potential combinations in normal time than try to save the universe
Also, this computer doesn’t lock out after too many failed attempts?
I usually don't get tripped up by the usage of "they/them" and I know that's how Ezra identifies, but boy I kept getting confused every time he'd say "they did so-and-so" because, I mean, there's TWO Ezra Millers in this! I kept thinking he meant they were both doing something not just one of them lol
honestly fair
i noticed that adam uses they/them for ezra but he/him for flash because flash is male. but still they/them in the plural sense when referring to both flashes. so it's still confusing sometimes.
It doesnt help that the plot makes no sense lol
@@iwannaseehowlongyoucanmakethis almost as if "they/them" as a pronoun is fucking stupid to begin with. Still its fitting that a man without any humanity would choose such a dehumanizing set of pronouns.
Yeah I got confused and then my brain started hurting at the grammatical errors, so I had to stop watching. I'm so glad there was another youtuber who just said, fuck it, this is not grammatically correct, I'm not gonna play into their stupid games and just use what should be written.
They could’ve fixed like 75 percent of the time travel logic issues if they just said “when Barry time travels it damages the timeline” or something and that’s why things are different. Then there would be actual reason for conflict when they realize this timeline is doomed. But no they wouldn’t do that because then it wouldn’t be a multiverse movie and everyone likes multiverses the market analysts said so.
The time travel concept in Xavier Renegade Angel (caveman episode) made more sense. "Every cigarette takes 17 minutes off of your life, every slice of bacon takes 9 minutes. If ya smoke and eat bacon fast enough, you can go back in time"

TAKE THA-TASTE THE PAIN!
If you go back in time can you get me some pop tarts when they had actual filling. Thanks in advance
It is quite amazing that DC has had the worst foundation to a cinematic universe and their solution is just to keep going with it.
If all you're good at is tripping up stairs, you milk that for all you can.
the fact that they keep this running universe on life support while the self-contained DC movies do huge numbers makes no sense to me.
if they get infinite monkeys to write infinite franchise reboots eventually they will beat marvel
I dunno, I’d say Mummy 2017 was worse.
They desperately need to hit the restart button. Recast everyone, and start again, but do it right this time
It's honestly kind of amazing that they chose to explain the timeline variations in such a dumb backwards way when the original Flashpoint comic had the perfect reason to say "This is why things are different here." Did the writers think the concept of a "time boom" was too high brow for the Snyder-bros to understand?
This really feels like a classic YMS video, love ya Adum
For me, stuff like power inconsistency in superhero movies falls under a category I call "grey life damage." It's a term from Street Fighter, where certain moves will cause a portion of your health bar to turn grey rather than just disappear. The grey life will slowly come back over time, so if you successfully defend yourself for a bit, it won't matter. But if you take any other damage during that time, the grey life vanishes all at once in addition to whatever normal damage you would take, and you're _way_ worse off.
In other words, "grey life damage" is mistakes that _do not matter_ if the rest of the movie is good. But if the rest of the movie is bad, they are yet another thing to get annoyed by, just as real as all the other annoyances. And fuck me, does this movie have a lot of shit to get annoyed at.
I like that analogy! It's a craftsmanship issue, simple polish, that doesn't affect the structure of a story, but depending on how suspended your disbelief is, your perception of those flaws changes.
So you are telling me that the director did a empty jump into Zangief's lvl3 to my enjoyment of the movie?
In general this is "suspension of disbelief/rule of cool" the best example is Spiderman's No Way Home stupid spell at the start, it was stupid Dr Stange wouldn't have done that but plot needed something stupid to kickstart.
Yeah, I can understand changing how the speed forces works from this film/Justice League for plot conviniece/looking cool.
Even tho it's complicating stuff I can accept Flash time shenanigans actually makes him go to another timeline.
but when the climax of the film makes the Speed force a room for no reason, Flash 1/2 time travels to the "same" timeline and in general the plot is a mess filled with fake emotions that dont land any "because cool factor/the plot needs to happen" becomes another nail in the tomb
@ismael9914 That Dr. Strange spell would be fine if they didn't try to make it part of Peter's arc. It's the sort of mistake that only astute watchers would notice if the movie hadn't averted our attention to it...
I'm not sure I'd call these suspension of disbelief, but it sounds like rule of cool. Honestly, these terms are nebulous and generally fall under mistake that would bother perfectionists but not everyone else...
Dude, I love this. That's a perfect way of putting it.
Not to mention, when you set up a time travel movie where the characters jump from universe to universe, they become incredibly selfish. Flash just ditches his original timeline and all of the people in it. Their flash is gone, never to return, and he wont be there to help save them from future catastropies. Flashes original mom is still dead too. He just became a squatter in a universe where another version of her is still alive. Is flash so sociopathic that inhabiting a universe filled with copies of his friends that have had different life experiences is ok? Thats unironically how Rick Sanchez acts.
I'm pretty sure that if Rick and Morty existed in the DC universe, This Flash would be one of those super obnoxious fans who idolise Rick, so I personally think that, character consistency wise, it fits
The only great time travel movie in my opinion is Back to the Future.
@@ThomasMBlank Just wanted to pop in and say, about that... in Justice League, either cut, the scene where Bruce meets Barry, guess what's glimpsed on one of the monitors in the background? So the show exists in the DC verse. Whether that influenced Barry's choice in this, I dunno, but it's a bit hilarious that it's actually possible!
I’ve always thought about how that works in comics/lore. How tf are these supposedly ultra morally upright heroes ok with the entirety of a timeline/universe/multiverse worth of souls being wiped out. They usually barely mourn the loss if they do at all.
I feel like the creators think the audience is too wrapped up in the story to think about that part lol.
@@genericsocks7542 And also, why do they even have the desire to change the past if they know its just creating a new timeline? They didnt save who they wanted to save, they saved a clone.
Time travel is 99.99999% of the time a mistake for your plot.
Just like a character who can see the future with any sort of reliability.
Thank you so much for your channel, Adam. I sometimes feel like I'm going insane, living in a world where the majority of people seemingly just wilfully accept cinematic pigswill on a regular basis and then tell me to "stop being so critical" and that I'm "overthinking it" whenever I call out a movie on being badly written garbage. However, I then watch one of these glorious rants of yours, I'm reminded and comforted by the fact that there are other people out there with actual brains.
“The whole universe is mom’s spaghetti!”
Please keep philosophy out of movie reviews.
I like how Adam can make an hour long video feel like ten minutes.
Me reading this comment 28 minutes in: “wait it’s an hour???!!”
I guess you could say he used TIME TRAVEL!!! 😂
Which is ironic, because watching 10 minutes of the Flash felt like an hour.
He has his own version of the chronosphere it's called the adumsphere
I just noticed because of your comment that it's an hour. It felt like 15 minutes
"Bad effects were supposed to be bad!"
Well the negative reviews were supposed to be negative
The second I see time travel or multiverse stuff in a movie’s advertisements, I just assume it’s going to be hot garbage. It’s become nothing but a no-talent phone-in for complexity.
Time travel requires effort to pull off and most importantly being consistent about the rules of time travel you pick/make.
It’s too easy to mess up time travel.
My biggest problem I've always had with this version of The Flash is Ezra Miller's running animation. Like NO TOLD EZRA TO RUN LIKE A PERSON?! Run like a HUMAN person!
Still not sure if this is worse than Wonder Galdot just gliding when she's supposed to use superspeed.
i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought that, lol.
seriously me and my friends were losing it because none of us saw Justice League i guess and we were all *shocked* by Ezra Miller’s run cycle. I think it’s supposed to look like he’s slicing through the air which could maybe work but it looks fuking ridiculous
If memory serves, the idea was to envision how running would look if there was no wind resistance, because Speedforce negates that resistance.
It still looks stupid, but at least they tried something close to clever.
He was running like how a criminal would
Hot take: the flash movie visual affects are actually pretty good if you smear Vaseline all over your screen and eyes
I pirated it and it was super blurry so it didn’t really look that bad to me lol
I’m watching this review on the 1” x 1/2” in-window player on my phone, and also not paying attention, and also my glasses are smudged, and I think it looks great!
Sulfuric acid works better, trust me
Lol
another thing about Barry guessing all the passwords to a computer (especially one from this generation) is that the limiting factor is the clock cycle speed of the processor. Barry essentially can't go faster than the computer can work. So somehow, Barry is working this computer at supercomputer speeds but it's just an old piece of junk. That's speedforce, baby
You're going to sit there, with a straight face, tell me that the Flash movie was bad? How could a movie that resurrects dead actors for a few seconds of a dopamine rush and stars literal monster Ezra Miller? How could that combination fail?
The way the flash CONSTANTLY just has an immediate power to get through the next plot point was making me genuinely angry
He has Italian Spider-man powers!
Most of those powers are well established basic powers of the character
While phasing through things and time travel are both things he can do in the comics, how the movie treats both of these powers is really stupid.
I don't believe something being established in the comics makes it any less bullshit
@offcutt shit in comic books and other works of fantasy hardly ever isn’t bullshit, as long as it works in its own universal logic. This movie took what had its own logic and then fucked the logic. That's what makes it actually bullshit.
Honestly, Nicholas Cage as Superman would have probably sold more people on the movie if he at least spoke even once.
Its impressive how they took the relatively simple and understandable time travel from flashpoint and turned into a gaint incomprehensible mess just so they could get double ezra and to cash in on multiverse shit.
Not really. They translated the nonsense. Flashpoint effectively said much the same. "When you break the sound barrier, you create a sonic boom. When you break the time barrier, you create a time boom." That was Eobard's description in Flashpoint about how Barry altered the past before his mother's death. It still didn't make any sense. A sonic boom doesn't create a reality fissure. A "time boom" just sounds like utter garbage.
The issue is, as Adum says, Flash is a broken character because the comic writers just pursued the idea that he could run through time. He's no longer an actual speedster, he's just a nonsense chronokinetic who can do whatever the writers want, even if the writers don't know how to make use of him.
Flashpoint was just a novelty act for DC to reboot the world yet again, before going on to reboot it 2 or 3 more times by now. People only liked it because it gave effectively an alternate version of Earth 3, except Thomas Wayne is still a mostly good Batman compared to Owlman being an evil Batman. It really wasn't a good story. Personally, I'd say the last solid story DC did was Blackest Night.
I’m now braindead because of that.
@@mallios13 I think the concept of a "time boom" is silly comic book nonsense but it still makes more sense than how they explained things in this movie, like I understand the concept of ripples through time altering reality. The comic was at least more consistent with its rules and explanations than the movie was.
Some kids are going to feel dumb for not understanding this movie, only to revisit it as an adult to realize the logics never added up
@@koifish835the thing is the "time boom" can make sense in a comic universe, who the fuck cares, but they really fucked themselves by layering it on top of all the other dumb bullshit like him going back and forth and popping in front of himself but also nto popping in front of himself and also losing his powers in the lightning and not DUE to the time boom, and also stuff is so predictable that a single tomato can saves your mom but also billions of changes happen from every change...
if the "backwards and forwards changes" was the ONLY idiotic, clearly incomprehensible thing they had to sell, it'd be fine lmao, cause you "need" that plot detial to explain why wonder woman or someone else doesn't just defeat the baddie. Everything else makes relative sense to things that people know in the base story, like flash doesn't save his mom w tomatoes, he just runs in and fights the dude whos gonna kill her as a blur and transports him elsewhere. no "chain of events" to break from a random tomato can.
you say the tears are CGI but on closer inspection I feel like Ezra Miller himself is entirely CGI
CGI as in, Clearly Gross Inreallife?
I love that they tried to hype up audiences by being like "look keaton batman is back" but then the audiences got there and the movie said keaton batman lives in a doomed timeline and that he dies in pain because of ezra miller
Another crime Ezra Miller must pay for
When the Flash cries while slowing down time, shouldn't his tear fall really slow?
Yeah! But eh, fuck consistency.
Also, hello! Love your content dude.
Maybe they count as part of him?
his superhuman tear ducts are firing the tears out at near light speed

PossumReviews! Fancy seeing you here! 😄
I love how one baby is just casually sucking their thumb while falling to their death.
A Batman themed lightning rod. Absolute gold. Adam West is looking down on us, smiling.
Adum's snark with the "Just turn your brain off and enjoy the review" is killing me
Two major plotholes in the movie.
1. Why doesn't barry just go back in time and find out who killed his mom.
2. The corrupt flash could have easily phased into zod and taken out his heart.
Even easier then phasing just stab them all with the kryptonite chunk at super speed they die and the world is saved.
Corrupt flash could have gone back in time and banged Zods mom so fast he was never even born
Yeah on point 2 even more so. I find it hilarious that this film's core conceipt, the main driving force of the conflict, is that THE FLASH, aka probably the most OP superhero, can't figure out how to beat a bunch of dunces in spacesuits.
I mean, sure, sure. Kryptonians are strong. But evil flash is literally covered in anti-Kryptonian material which disables them. And even if he wasn't, HE'S THE FLASH. They're still 1% as fast as he is. He can literally kill them all in a fraction of a second. AND THERE'S 2 OF HIM TOO.
There's no way 2 Flashes wouldn't beat Zod's motley crew. Forget supergirl. Forget batman. You have 2 speedsters! Against an army with 0 ways to counter frigging speedsters!
cant believe im complimenting the cw flash show but after this movie it really is the lesser of two evils and in that the phasing WAS mainly used as a weapon to take out enemies hearts
Seeing Adam lose his shit trying to explain the plot never fails to make me laugh XD
That’s the worst looking spaghetti I’ve ever seen
Nice to see Hollywood finally catching up to Neil Breen. It's all here--nonsense plot, gratuitous running, poignant death scene, explaining time paradoxes with floppy props, actor playing against self, godlike powers, awesome special effects...
Andy Muschetti wishes he was as good of a director as Neil Breen
But where are the abused laptops thou?
Neil Breen was truly ahead of the curb.
@@ButterFlyNeko88 release the Muschetti cut!
@@ButterFlyNeko88 when Barry put every possible password at the same tme
44:53 "No matter what we do, this world died. I tried maybe...twice to change it."
Love this line, had the same energy as "We tried nothing and we're already out of options."
54:18
Ezra Millar's acting is like the live-action version of the surprised Pikachu meme.
"You're just doing what Marvel already did."
That pretty much sums up the majority of the DCEU in a single sentence.
the overuse of vfx in this movie induces the uncanny valley more than anything else i've ever seen, it's like a new genre of horror
The best part is when Ezra said “i can drug you”
I am not kidding when I say that my audience was silent at that line
And starts fondling Micheal Keaton 36:10
That is an actual line Ezra said.
Did he drug someone IRL or something? I know very little of the crimes of Ezra Miller, or him in general
@@Thatonedude917I don’t think so, it just really doesn’t sound out of character for them
> "It's an artistic choice that just so happens to look like it's an unfinished movie."
Truer words were never spoken. I also love this:
> "The movie can't be bad because I've attached my entire identity to this franchise and if it's bad that means I'm bad."
You hear that? That's the mating call of the TRUE fanboi.
The fact the CW could afford better writers and respected the source material better than a multi billion dollar franchise is just sad. At least the CW explained time travel in that he wasn't traveling faster than light but a big enough energy charge would allow him to access the speed force.
Not about affording, the issue is even if you got the world's greatest writer on something like this it's got so much executive meddling anything they were trying to do would be butchered
I think the best marketing fail for this was the dude (production designer I think?) said that Miller's acting was so good in this film that you'll forget about his crime.
This is real.
Edit: really glad YMS covered that! 6min mark ish
Someone should compress this entire movie into a gif. It would improve the viewing experience.
There has to be a scientific law that explains how these projects somehow look worse the more money that get thrown at them
It's called crunch. The animators were forced to get it out very quickly so naturally it looks like dogshit.
Something tells me "over budget" is involved here somewhere.
Money laundering for zrlenksky
Hugely ballooned budget = tons of reshoots = tons of vfx work redone in way too short a time
A good looking movie is often more the result of craft and time than tons of money
The more money the more pressure to succeed.
The more pressure the more fear of losing the investement.
The more fear the less risk are taken.
Taking less risk is also less creative freedom.
Less creative freedom ends up making "safe" corporate sludge.
Wait hes BATMAN?!!
I’m ashamed to say this line in the film got an lol out of me. It reminded me of a line from American dad telethon advert….but even then the film had to ruin it with the next like explaining what Barry 2 was thinking 🙄
"Always has been." 🔫
if supergirl has the same strong skin that superman does, then how does she get stabbed?????
I prefer the timeline explanation from the animated movie: if you break the sound barrier, you create a sonic boom (except Flash doesn't, actually), and if you break the time barrier, you create a time boom that causes chaotic changes both forward and backward in time. That gives a much better excuse for not time-travelling to solve every problem, instead of randomly saying "nah it's fate bro".
The time boom is equally random. Nothing has to have an explanation. Everything changes because time boom (ie the writers want the world one way. Essential fate but on meta level)
@@-Azure.EXE- I think a time boom would be much more intuitive than what the movie presents. It actually draws parallels to real, well-known phenomena, instead of just saying “this person is fated to die at approximately this arbitrary window in time because spaghetti!”
It also created consequences of time travel so it can't just be used as a crutch to fix any situation, only being a fallback plan when literally everything else fails because its consequences are so dire that it's only a last resort option at best that everyone would prefer never to have to use. So trying to fix one thing giga-screws over billions other things to the point of Flashpoint paradoxing is always a terrible idea no matter what.
Best movie of the year by far. I loved when they used CGI to resurrect George Reeves the actor who killed himself.
Me personally I loved when they CGI resurrected Christopher Reeve who died from heart failure after living with a horribly debilitating spinal injury
My favorite scene that holds a special place in my heart is CGI Nicolas Cage Superman fighting a CGI spider.
@@JonathanGaeta That, genuinely, got a big grin and an out-loud "No they didn't..." out of me, not gonna lie.
@@JonathanGaeta I'm being deadly serious when I say that that shot was an actual jump scare for me. I was unprepared to see Nicholas Cage in this movie and suddenly seeing him in the Superman costume with long hair for some reason just really frightened me for some reason.
my favorite part is when the flash said its flashing time and flashed all over the CGI spippers
You know, when you think about how, in this movie, time travel doesn't *really* exist and is instead universe hopping, Barry is a massive asshole.
Like, it's basically the universe hopping from Rick and Morty, but the writers think it's okay??? To just...abandon an entire universe??
My only issue with this review is the babies brains wouldn't necessarily be scrambled just because they were falling at terminal velocity. They'd be scrambled because Flash decelerated them upon putting them down so fast, that they'd be experiencing whiplash.
yeah, that's what would realistically happen when speedsters touch ANYTHING, they would also explode and boil themselves.
the thing bout time travel and super speed is that if the show is good, your brain doesn't care, but if it's bad then it nitpicks the hell out of it
