REVIEW: The Flash (2023)

AlexGherzo | Jun 15, 2023 | 2

I’m not sure I’d call The Flash a mixed bag; that implies a fairly equal good-to-bad ratio, and The Flash is more bad than good by a wide margin. And what’s bad is abysmal, not only embracing many of the grating modern superhero movie tropes but hooking them up to rockets and shooting them int...

He can’t ask people to kneel before him if he’s a liar. Michael Shannon, who portrayed Superman villain General Zod in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, reprises his role in the upcoming DC Comics movie The Flash, but the actor sounds less than enthused about his return engagement. In an interview w...

Muschietti directing ...

The Flash has been a bumpy road. It started almost impeccably with an outstanding first season; unfortunately, that would also prove to be its best season. The following two were very good, but as The Flash moved to the middle of its run, it showed signs of wear. The writers struggled to make their ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 12, “A New World Part 3”

The Flash’s final arc has been a bit lackadaisical in getting to the point. After a good first episode that set up a brewing conflict with The Negative Speed Force, it spent a week dawdling with Barry’s friends while he was almost entirely absent, resulting in all the main players being back whe...
