The Flash - Flashpoint Paradox - June 16th 2023 **SPOILERS**

The movie isn't tracking well. $70 mil seems to be what is expected from recent tracking numbers which is in-line with Black Adam's debut.

It's pretty obvious they don't want to risk him causing a scene. Wouldn't be surprised if he can't travel at the moment either.
 
Ok saw The Flash yesterday. Gonna try and not be bias as worked on this for so long.
First impressions was a solid 8/10.

Positives - Lots of fun, action was great! The Michael Keaton Batman fight I designed turned out awesome! (Imo 😂 they used 99% of what I did and I’ll post a stunt/pre viz reel prob this weekend if anyone wants to see). It’s real funny in parts, Ezra is fantastic. Very moving in parts and yep I shed a tear here and there.
Some cool Easter eggs and goosebump moments. The Supergirl sequences I designed turned out to be a mixed bag, they used some of my ideas and mixed it with some of theirs, but of course this is going to happen as it’s not my movie lol. They did use some cool stuff I did thought which was great seeing it on the big screen.

Negatives - The 3rd act wasn’t as good as I expected it was gonna be. Some CG faces are bad, we can talk about this when the film is out as don’t wanna post spoilers, but maybe it was intentional….(You’ll understand when you watch the film) as the CG on the face of the other Ezra is amazing! They had another actor there and used face replacement, so if that was that good, I mean it was photo realistic, flawless, how can they have low quality CG faces in other areas? Unless like I said, it was intentional, or VFX hit their budget ceiling, which does happen, but I don’t think that was the case but always a possibility.

So like I said overall 8/10, a good fun superhero action romp with a nice mix of comedy and emotion thrown in for good measure.
IF you love superhero movies and don’t mind some sequences kinda looking like a video game cut scene, then I think you’ll love it, it’s a rollercoaster ride, pay your money, be entertained and hopefully go home happy 😊

Good to hear I’m really pumped for this film taking my dad and kids to see it Saturday. Batman is my favorite comic book film character going to awesome seeing Keaton back in the role. Looking forward to seeing your work now thanks for sharing.

I hope you like Keatons fight scene. It’s 99% what I designed. The SG stuff was changed quite a bit. They kept some of my stuff in, but only probably around 40%. I was very pleased with the Batman fight though.
Like I said above, some of the CG is cartoony, if you can get around that then I think you’ll enjoy it.
I laughed and I cried. Overall great fun film.
 
This was bad. The first 80 minutes or so were just boring. They got to get away from the visual of him running fast, it looks so bad.

Most of the last 40/50 mins are not too bad. Keaton's first action sequence was actually pretty damn good. I liked Supergirl, but she is way underused.

The Flash is just annoying. The character. His mannerisms. Pretty much everything really is annoying.

Yeah I get you think he is annoying. I kind of disagree, I thought the start to mid was great, then the 3rd act wasn’t as good. I wouldn’t say it’s bad though.
Glad you liked Keatons action though.

I was actually surprised by how good his action sequence was. I actually think it might be the best Batman action scene. Which is saying a lot.
