The Flash
4 ud af 5 tøjaber
Jeg har tidligere set Ezra Miller som Barry Allen/The Flash i "Justice League" og syntes ikke, han var den rigtige til rollen, så det var med nedskruede forventninger, jeg satte mig til at se denne film, som faktisk viste sig at være en af de bedste DC-ting i lange tider. Sikker instruktion (af argentinske Andy Muschetti), godt manuskript, flotte effekter, imponerende kulisser samt masser af humor, inside jokes, en sej superskurk (Michael Shannon som general Zod) og overraskende cameos til kendte ansigter, der dukker op for en kort bemærkning. En større rolle er dog tilkendt Michael Keaton, der igen portrætterer Batman, her fra en anden tidslinje, som The Flash kommer til at skabe, da han rejser tilbage i tiden for at redde sin mor fra at blive myrdet og sin far fra at blive uskyldigt anklaget for drabet. Nævnes bør bestemt også den overraskende godt castede Sasha Calle som ... nej, det røber jeg ikke, og lad være med at se traileren. Jeg vil heller ikke spøjle mere af selve handlingen, men det er som sagt en fin film, selv om Miller altså ikke ligner den blonde, plyshårede Barry Allen ("Lynet"), som jeg kender fra min ungdoms tegneserier. Han er lidt for anderledes (dog bestemt ikke dårlig) i rollen, men for mig var det lidt som at se en James Bond-film med Roger Moore i stedet for Sean Connery.
The Flash
4 out of 5 toy monkeys
I previously saw Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash in "Justice League" and thought he wasn't right for the role, so I started out with zero expectations here, but the movie actually turned out to be one of the best DC things in a long time. Secure direction (by Argentine Andy Muschetti), good script, great special effects, impressive sets as well as lots of humor, inside jokes, a great super villain (Michael Shannon as General Zod), and familiar faced surprise cameos. A bigger role, however, is given to Michael Keaton, who once again portrays Batman, this time from another timeline that The Flash accidentally creates travelling back in time to save his mother from being murdered and his father from being wrongfully accused of it. Another pleasant surprise is the well-cast Sasha Calle as ... no, I won't reveal that, and please don't watch the trailer. I'll refrain from further spoiling, but as I said, it's a nice film, even if Miller doesn't look like the blond, crewcut Barry Allen that I know from the comics of my youth. He's a bit too different (though definitely not bad) in the role, and for me it was a bit like watching a James Bond movie with Roger Moore instead of Sean Connery.
