60 of 239 · most liked firstOne time, our tiny town’s little (but very cool) movie theatre was having their premiere for the FLASH movie, which people thought was going to be a big hit at the time. The theater was actually very busy that first night. A friend wrote the screenplay, I was excited. 1/
positive · AI labelView post →This story is insane. Nic Cage himself got in the Superman suit and filmed a scene for The Flash movie but rather than use it, WB scrapped everything he did and recreated his likeness with bad CGI. They had the actual actor on a set and they chose not to use him.
neutral · AI labelView post →The theater does a lot of arthouse and classic films, and they often have someone come out first and do a little background talk about the movie. For the Flash, they had a local disc jockey come and do some comic book trivia. With me in the audience. Completely anonymous. 2/
neutral · AI labelView post →Amazed at a studio that released The Flash and Black Adam saying with a straight face that a movie is unreleaseable and must be shelved as a tax write off.
negative · AI labelView post →Sometimes I think about how they put Nicholas Cage Superman fighting a giant spider in the Flash movie to gain favor with "fans" like anyone ever gave a fuck about that but as an amusing curiosity

neutral · AI labelView post →Christina Hodson is officially writing the script for ‘Batman: Brave & The Bold' 🦇 • Her past projects include 'Birds of Prey', 'The Flash', and the canceled 'Batgirl' film • Andy Muschietti is directing but his ultimate involvement depends on factors including timing & availability (via THR)
neutral · AI labelView post →“A lot of people aren’t interested in The Flash as a character” is a dumb statement. I think complaining that your movie with a lead actor who was in the news cycle for being an unhinged danger to himself and others that was part of a dying cinematic universe failed because of women is dumber
negative · AI labelView post →You might remember the FLASH movie trivia story I told recently. Well, they did the trivia again for Supergirl, it was pretty fun, I refrained from answering but there was a group of three guys wearing Superman shirts and the middle one knew ALL the answers! ARGO CITY, MY FRIEND!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Flash director Andy Muschietti has said his DC Extended Universe film failed at the box office because "a lot of people just don’t care about the Flash as a character." bit.ly/4gLko34

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watching an old DVD of the Flash Gordon movie and my kids saw the old advert for “you wouldn’t steal a car, so don’t pirate DVDs it’s a crime” and I had to explain the entire concept of video piracy
neutral · AI labelView post →Are people excited about all of those X-Men actors being in the next MCU movie? I’m assuming it’s going to be like when the Flash movie had all of those cameos just to kill them all off or when Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths had all those cameos just to kill them all off or when Deadpool-
neutral · AI labelView post →All the men who hated Sasha Calle as Supergirl in the Flash movie now love her because they get to use her as a blunt instrument to hit Milly Alcock with.
negative · AI labelView post →Thinking about 2023's "The Flash" again. Honestly didn't think it was still possible to make that type of bad movie in the 21st century, I thought that the suits would intervene and stop you.
negative · AI labelView post →I'm sorry, you release The Flash (2023) to the public, where all of God's children can see it, and you've forfeited the right to ever say a movie is unreleasable and should be vaulted for the tax write off.
negative · AI labelView post →Which Barry Allen are you today? 1. Oooh shiny things c. The Flash, action movie - defender of the sofa 16. No no no <>. Raspberries $. RAWR ( that means I love you in dinosaur)
neutral · AI labelView post →It reminds me of the Flash movie where the suits thought Keaton could turn shit to gold simply by standing near the batsuit with a script written in crayon.
negative · AI labelView post →I was not prepared for how bad the Flash movie is. This is a war crime
negative · AI labelView post →Everything I learn about The Flash movie tells me that WB deserved to lose every dollar that they did.
negative · AI labelView post →Maybe it was because it was a truly awful movie and starred a violent abuser? But that's just me. I'm sure it was because people don't care about the Flash.
negative · AI labelView post →Monday matinee/timeline cleanse: A silent movie featuring Barry (the Flash) Allen and Justin FURStenfeld.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when the Flash movie was about to come out and all that leaked publicity said it was the greatest movie of all time, everyone who saw it was moved to tears, etc.? Was it all bullshit or was someone sincerely like “This is winning an Oscar!“ upon seeing 90s Nic Cage CGIed in a Superman suit?
negative · AI labelView post →The Flash movie failed because of the problematic lead, the writing sucked, the DCEU was basically dead, and the uncanny valley CGI, not because of the character. The CW had a popular Flash show for nearly a decade, but sure, blame women for your shitty movie bombing.
negative · AI labelView post →I do not like to put full blame on any of the creatives who worked on The Flash because I truly believe that movie was never going to work regardless of the talent that was attached to it. But getting that same team to work on your universe's Batman movie is actually baffling to me.
negative · AI labelView post →I feel that after saying with a straight face that Black Adam and The Flash were releasable you should never be allowed to shelve a movie again.
negative · AI labelView post →I am watching The Flash, for my sins. I cannot abide the patter. Absolutely horrible. Maybe the worst patter I have experienced in a film.
negative · AI labelView post →Andy the Flash movie failed because it was the 20th shit DC movie in a row with a box office poison lead, 3000000 fan screenings half a year before it came out, the most artificial hype marketing known to man, and a Keaton Batman to appeal to boomers that don’t go to movie theaters anymore
negative · AI labelView post →Whenever I stretch, I sing "Stretch!!! Aha!" to The Flash Gordon theme song by Queen! It's become an inside joke with my son. 😆😂 Such a great film and soundtrack!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Flash is my favourite DC character, and pretty much always has been. The movie failed because it was mid, and Ezra Miller should be in jail.
negative · AI labelView post →I have a young child, seeing a movie a mere three weeks after it came out basically makes me the Flash.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the Flash because I've never seen it before. This is the most unhinged fucking movie I've ever seen in the 40+ years of existence it was either made on a dare or on lots of cocaine. Perhaps both.
negative · AI labelView post →The big story about Marvel clumsily reinventing film and television production and the thing about DC not actually using real Nic Cage as Nic Cage in The Flash show two things: the studios fully believe they're the filmmakers, and the superhero movie industry is too decadent to survive as is
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the Flash. He and the various Speedsters are in my top five of heroes/groups in DC. The movie flopped because it was like so much of the Snyderverse: a gross misunderstanding of the character. For comparison, The Flash was a CW hit. Why? Because it... 1/3 www.joblo.com/andy-muschie...
negative · AI labelView post →I think I’m done going to movie theaters. I’m so sick of how disrespectful people are now man.. Thats the third time in a row someone has talked through an entire movie and kept using their phone a WITH THE FLASH ON.
neutral · AI labelView post →Took me a while (too long, I'm too old) to realise this was NOT the Flash Gordon movie you were talking about...
neutral · AI labelView post →What happens if George Lucas does get the Flash Gordon rights in the mid-seventies and just makes a straight up Flash Gordon movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Dude, we love the Flash. You just made a bad movie.
negative · AI labelView post →I’m thinking about the Flash movie again and I’m getting angry
negative · AI labelView post →New Caravan of Garbage for The Flash out now! You've heard of BIG MOVIE but are you ready for really disgusting movie? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa6f...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tupac in Stranger Than Heaven is giving me big "Christopher Reeves in The Flash movie" energy and that's not a good thing
neutral · AI labelView post →You made one of the most detestable comic book films ever from a production and marketing standpoint, and that's just ignoring the dumpster fire the actual film was. That's why The Flash failed.
negative · AI labelView post →I think if shit like Flashpoint and the Flash movie are what we are gonna get out of it more than not I think that the Flash needs to have his Time Travel powers just straight up Removed until further notice
negative · AI labelView post →I watched The Flash film yesterday and I'm still chuckling at recognising a UK bus stop marking on the streets of Gotham (Glasgow).
neutral · AI labelView post →It also featured Flash villains, which the movie did not. It is crazy how they made a Flash movie that didn't focus on the Flash and his Rogues Gallery.
negative · AI labelView post →I’m shocked Zaslav rejected a film that got positive test screening results, written by James Gunn, before he directed the new Superman film. Scrapped it for a tax write, and yet allowed The Flash with Erza Miller to go theatres. But I’m gonna show my support for this film.
positive · AI labelView post →Reminiscing on how Not Very Good at All the FLASH movie was…
negative · AI labelView post →When I say that I love the Flash ... I don't mean the Movie ...
negative · AI labelView post →Also insanely hilarious to say “no one cares about The Flash” as a show was currently in its NINTH season when this film hit.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Flash movie if Andy wasn't a loser who hated money and success:
neutral · AI labelView post →No, people love the Flash, it's just that Ezra Miller went on a months long crime spree but they still went forward with the movie anyway
neutral · AI labelView post →Also George Lucas wrote Star Wars because he desperately wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie and he couldn’t get the rights. If you watch the Flash Gordon movie that was eventually made, you can definitely see the influences.
neutral · AI labelView post →“Her past projects include 'Birds of Prey', 'The Flash', and the canceled 'Batgirl' film”
neutral · AI labelView post →Now that I've seen (and enjoyed) The Flash, I REALLY want one final, stand-alone Michael Keaton-Tim Burton Batman movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't think I've looked at a movie THIS objectively and offensively bad since The Flash. And THAT'S an accomplishment
negative · AI labelView post →One if my favorite things my dad made us watch as kids were all of the Flash Gordon movie serials!!!!❤️❤️❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →The Shadow of the Colossus movie hasn’t been abandoned, according to It and The Flash director Andrés Muschietti, who has been attached to the project for over a decade. vgc.news/news/shadow-...
neutral · AI labelView post →In other words: the Flash most likely failed through a multitude of other reasons like the overall quality of the film, that it was attached to a dead cinematic universe, and the whole Ezra Miller controversy Not the fault of the character
neutral · AI labelView post →There was a Flash show that had 184 episodes over 9 seasons that ended weeks before your movie, Andy. People are DEFINITELY interested in the Flash, just not YOUR Flash, because he's played by an abusive criminal in a film that was stuck in development and production hell.
