Supergirl (Sasha Calle) is also a player in this film but, apart from supplying a kind of get-out clause when everything is beyond salvation, she remains disappointingly 2D. The usual apocalyptic punch-up ensues and I can’t help reflecting that, where Across the Spider-Verse managed to juggle literally hundreds of manifestations of its lead character without ever becoming muddled, Flash‘s attempt to do something similar with the character of Superman just becomes incomprehensible.
It’s only in the final third, that – predictably – the film begins to sag under the weight of its own hubris. Look, set down like that, it does sound like utter piffle, but Flash manages to play it all with real panache, thanks to Andy Muschietti’s assured direction and a witty script by Christina Hodson and Joby Harold. More worryingly, Barry has now lost his powers and needs to rekindle them if he is ever going to get back to his own time.Īnd he really needs to because, thanks to Barry’s time-tinkering, General Zod (Michael Shannon) is back, intent on destroying the entire planet… Barry meets his younger, goofier self, reconnects with an entirely different Batman (played once again by Michael Keaton) and learns that Eric Stoltz is now the lead actor in Back To the Future, a clever running gag that’s used to great effect. When Barry discovers that, by running at a particular speed, he can time travel, he hits on the idea of going into the past and changing one small detail, in order to save his mother’s life.īefore you can mutter ‘space time continuum’ the deed is done and suddenly everything is weirdly different. But like most superheroes, Barry is haunted by something dark in his past – in his case, the murder of his mother, Nora (Maribel Verdú), a crime for which Barry’s father is currently serving time in prison, though Barry is convinced of his innocence.

An opening sequence where The Flash saves a series of babies falling from a collapsing building sets the stall out well. But here it finally is and, largely by virtue of not taking itself too seriously, it’s more entertaining than most of the recent comic book-inspired movies I’ve recently witnessed.īarry Allen/The Flash (Miller) is managing to strut his stuff around the city, but is mostly playing second fiddle to everybody’s favourite hero, Batman (Ben Affleck). As for its titular hero, the producers must have been tearing their hair out when Ezra Miller’s off-screen controversy threatened to blow the whole project out of the water before it even got off the starting blocks. James is wearing a Cotton Citizen t-shirt.If Marvel Studios are having a thin time of things lately, spare a thought for DC, who have long struggled to establish a coherent onscreen presence for their cohort of superheroes and seem to feel obliged to put Batman into just about every film they produce. It: Chapter Two, directed by Andy Muschietti, will hit theaters on September 6.įYI: Jessica is wearing a Bella Freud jacket and shorts. People on Twitter are describing the footage shown at the panel as being "scary as hell," "effectively creepy, very bloody," and being filled with plenty of red balloons. Jaeden Martell couldn't make it to the event and his older counterpart James joked, “He’s too talented and he threatens me, so I made him disappear.”
