The Flash

Honestly, I was pretty reluctant to watch this in the cinema, most of cos it was almost 2.5 hours long, partly due to the Ezra Miller shitstorm of late, and how much of a hot mess it was behind the scenes. So let's just say I was only in it cos I'll always be a sucker for the square jawline, and there's a lot of that going on in this here movie. 

So I went back to everyone's favourite GSC - 3 Damansara - for the 11 a.m. screening, which I was being fashionably late for cos it's a long ass movie to be early for. Even after buying ticket and snack at the kiosk etc, I was only in my seat for at most a couple of pre-movie PSAs before it started (almost half past the hour), so yay me. 
  • The glorified cameos were fun. And I'm also never gonna be over those few notes of the Wonder Woman theme tune. 
  • Of course 2013 Barry in a universe where his mother was still alive would be quite the momma's boy
  • Makes sense that it would be the Michael Keaton Batman/Bruce Wayne would be in this one - when he was Batman, everyone else that we would know in this iteration of the Justice League weren't even a thing yet? Pretty sure it was also during a lull in between Superman movies or something back then. 
  • Interesting use of spaghetti with meat sauce to explain the multiverse?
  • The literal worlds colliding toward the end was like so stupid I can't even; but at least we all got to see the Nic Cage Superman that will never happen?
  • Only just realising that Kal-El Jor-El is quite the mouthful. No wonder they're always like "KAL-EL, SON OF JOR-EL" and all that jazz in past Superman movies.
  • Of all the cameos, they didn't even squeeze in the CW Flash, Grant Gustin. (I don't follow the CW DC-verse)
Props to the script doctors for how funny it was. But NGL, I was already kinda sien with the protagonist go back in time to fix past shit as a trope, so I was second screening this. This would be more mindblowing if Marvel hadn't done it several movies and at least one TV show ago or something. Honestly, you can probably watch it on a streaming platform or something.
