With Zack Snyder's Justice League on top, and The Batman (with Pattinson) as the darkly best of the many Batman films, Ezra Miller steals the league in the Flash. Ezra is endearing, sometimes obnoxious, always loving, and brings the funny and charming. He's just great. This film is excellent! I went to a matinee alone with absolutely no expectations, and I'm so glad I did. I loved it. The Flash is wildly entertaining in a perfectly balanced way. Action (despite a weird CGI baby or three), compelling family drama, comedic moments, and envelope pushing super hero science fiction that juuust keeps it both plausible - keeping in mind this is a guy who can "run" the speed of light - and exciting. And these fantastic physics bring into the story arc a cast of likable new familiars that aren't just gratuitous walk ons, but integral to the Flash. And to their own separate stories, which you WILL think about after seeing this movie. It finishes on a twist. Not a cliffhanger, but a twist that leaves future casting potentially fluid, which is something these actors are ok with eventually. You can't play Doctor Who forever now, can you?
The Flash sets a new bar to the DC world standalone films, in my opinion. Much more fun than Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and every Batman but the latest one. Now bring back the Justice League, and don't beat these solo films into the dirt.
