The Flash: A Controversial Superhero Movie?
In the world of cinema, opinions can be as diverse as the films themselves. And when it comes to The Flash, director Andy Muschietti has some thoughts to share. Despite initial hype, the film's performance left much to be desired, with mixed reviews and a disappointing box office run.
Speaking to The Playlist, Muschietti addressed the film's reception, saying, "A lot of people missed the boat on this one. It's a common trend these days - people form opinions without experiencing the art. They jump on bandwagons, and their anger is often misplaced."
But here's where it gets interesting. Muschietti stands by his work, proudly declaring, "We're proud of The Flash. It's a good movie." He acknowledges the Ezra Miller controversy, an undeniable crisis, but maintains that the film's quality remains intact. "We love the movie and recommend it wholeheartedly," he adds.
And this is the part most people miss: The Flash wasn't all bad. The CGI, while questionable, didn't detract from the overall experience for many viewers. Ezra Miller's dedication and Michael Keaton's return as Batman were highlights. It's a film that, despite its flaws, has its defenders.
Muschietti's journey with DC continues, as he's set to direct The Brave and the Bold, a project that James Gunn recently teased as having a "really good story" for Batman's future.
