Brief Review
This movie would be a five if it weren’t for my love affair with time travel. I am not sad that Ezra Miller‘s career as the Flash is over. He can hopefully have a similar turnaround as Robert Downey Jr., as he is a terrific actor. He and Michael Keaton energize an otherwise dull film. There were a few comedic beats that I genuinely laughed at; it felt like it would have been better diving full R-rated as a Deadpool-esque film.
Add this film to the list of superhero movies that you will probably watch streaming one day and enjoy compared to the usual substandard films.
