Why was The Flash Such a Flop?

- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2023
- Whether it’s the questionable FX, the lead star's very controversial dalliances, or just audiences being burned one too many times by Comic Book Films, there's one flop that is all anyone can talk about: The Flash. And look, I get it. There was a lot of craziness that went on during this production and had more people come and go due to creative differences than any movie we've covered on the show.
Warning you guys and gals right now, if you haven't seen The Flash, you're going to want to turn back now, because this is where things get SUPER spoilery.

You know they were worried when they didn't allow the STAR of the movie to do any press or interviews. 😂😂😂
Even Keaton didn't do any interviews or promote the movie. Very weird
I think the writing was on the wall
WB knew it was going to bomb
@@ARBLACKx he was filming another movie in england
Main reasons it bombed:
1) Ezra Miller being a POS and criminal in real life
2) No cares about the DCEU. Every film since Aquaman has flopped
3) The upcoming James Gunn reboot
4) A lot of competition especially from Across the Spider-Verse
5) Marketing went hard on Keaton's return. However the last time he played Batman was in 1992. Why would Keaton's return mean anything to the teens/20-somethings who make up the bulk of the movie going audience?
6) The last time Flash was on the big screen was in 2017's Josstice League which also flopped.
But Flash made a bigger impression with the Snyder Cut
Really good points you made
@@Zombiesnyder13 Snydercut was only big to Snyder, Comic Book, and HBO Max fans. Warner Bros needed more than that demographic for the Flash if they wanted to break even.
Switch around 2 with 1 and I would definitely agree. Ezra is a D list actor at best no way he'd have that big of an impact on general audiences seeing the movie.
I still blame Ezra Miller for the movie bombing
This is the strong first reason. 2nd would be dc pumping out mediocre content. 3rd maybe people don't really like the character or find it compelling enough to watch. 4th maybe the trailer not being as good for the on the fence people.
First off the flash isn't interesting. Outside the TV series no one really cares
Secondly the movie does not provide coherent plot points, story telling etc that all you are left with is big explosions
Third, miller himself
Fourth the writing was awful, the directing where ever it wanted to go and no connection to any of the characters
His rap sheet is longer than many people in jail but WB could bail him out so they could try to save face. It didn’t work. Kid needs some serious help but this ain’t it.
Its still a lazy cashgrab "written" by a couple of suits in a boardroom dissintrested in the source material
@@wukongsun6223it’s the biggest box office bomb of any superhero movie ever and Warner bros is going to lose 200 million dollars ….it’s just all around a piece of crap and they should of left Batman in 1989 where he belongs
Aside from the CGI babies and the recreated CGI heroes
I don't think they were enough to break the suspension of disbelief overall
lmao.. it was like doodoo inside a tornado full of CGI characters and babies xd
Ezra Miller is a creep. Batman cannot save a movie that stars a creep who plays two roles.
You mean Batmen since there's 3 in the movie 😂😂
I think it's shitty that you think a movie is more important than what Miller allegedly did in real life.
I think its hilarious that the SJWs and blue checkmarks on twitter think that general audiences care about anything that Miller did...Protip: he's only been found guilty of shoplifting...Sorry INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY on anything else.....
General audiences could care less about what goes on in the tabloids, on the internetz etc. The only reason people aren't going to see The Flash is the same reason they didn't go see Black Adam and Shazam, because DC is rebooting everything so it doesn't matter. They aren't rushing out to see something that isn't going to matter come 2025.
same & it’s scary. Personally Idc how good or shitty a film is,if the lead actors are extremely horrible individuals then the film itself is just as bad. in my opinion
Thank you!!
Regardless of the flaws, it was a great time at the theater. Andy Muschietti did a mostly solid job. After this and IT 1 & 2, I'll be looking forward to his next endeavor. So happy to see Keaton as Batman again. Ezra was great, but it's a shame he pretty much caused the movie to bomb.
Let's be real, this is awful trash. Again by DC. No real connection with the characters themselves and having a lead who is as boring as watching paint dry. Absolutely horrendous
Let's be really real, the film is overhated to an insane degree.
@@ThreepioToaru Let's be really real, it's being overrated by DC Fanboys
@@ThreepioToaru over hated? It's starts a child molester. The movie should have been deleted and the main actor should be rotting in jail
@@soulreaper1981 Ezra Miller should not return as The Flash and absolutely should not be given more roles. But it's not fair to hate a movie because of one bad person. The other actors, the costume designers, and everyone else who worked on the film put their all into it. Sometimes we need to separate the art from the artist.
I heard someone mention that the ending seemed like DC dumping miller into bat nipple universe to exit the miller flash in future movies and starting fresh, given the whole headaches around miller I thought it made sense
That’s w hat it seems but it makes ZERO sense. Because he can easy turn back time and try a better timeline. Plus the one he came from, his dad is STILL in prison. Rotting. Thank Gunn for that garbage ending.
Yup that's what I thought about that they make that dead end bat nipple ending trap for ezra Can't flash just go back and not move those cans and reset. Everything they should have left the keaton with supergirl ending instead
This review is a very good reminder to save your money, don't waste your time on bad movies. Life's too short to watch bad films.
Clooney as Batman again? Don't they want to profit from the franchise for the next 20 years again?
I would have walked out of the theater if it wasn't for Keaton
Flash
Ahhhhhh
He.ll save every 1 of us
Oops wrong Flash movie 😂
As much as I love Andy Muschietti's job
I keep wondering what the movie would've look like if it had Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley as directors
Considering their masterful job with DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
It probably would've been a lot more comedic
“They. Their”. Bruh he’s one person. Haha
And yet slipped in a "he" at the end haha. I don't get why creeps still get respect like this.
I liked the movie, my only problem was that Ezra Miller was in it.
So then I have a question, as someone who is having a hard time watching it from being a super nerdy flash geek is it with the watch. I personally have missed that old flash feel like from the comics and justice league and the new 52 hasn't been bad at either. I've been skeptical because in some ways with trailers and breakdowns it felt like Ezra put too many other things into the performance. Like that awful run that only makes sense in regular science and if Barry didn't have the protective speed force energy around him constantly. Ik that was a mouthful but I've been on the fence you know.
Actually I liked the movie Solo. It's how I expected a young Han Solo to act.
Solo was awesome!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
I really don't understand the hate it gets. Donald Glover was awesome as Lando!
How is Ezra Miller more than one person?
CGI and/or mental illness 👍😎
"their performance"? Come on dude ...
Despite everything, I had a really good time watching this movie
As did we!
Did you get paid?
It actually has a smart plot, good cinematography, themes, etc. I personally think it doesn’t deserve all the hate.
@@JoBloOriginals Did it occur to you that you don't have good taste in movies? And way to cape for a movie starring crappy person Miller. That's really great of you. /s
So did I. It is not as good as the Spider-Man multiverse movies, but it is better than the Dr. Strange and the Letdown of Madness.
Broody is Shazam now so worked out
Its a worth DC movie to watch... I bet its better than The Beetle
Just saw this last night and other than some dodgy cgi that didn't really distract, it didn't disappoint. A shame it isn't one of the big hits of the summer.
Nah that’s what pedo miller deserves. He should be in jail
I hope Andy Muschietti gets to direct ATTACK ON TITAN
This movie has more cameos than Cannonball Run 1 & 2 combined.
Haha - never thought of it that way
This was loud, crazy, and fun. A fitting way to close out the DCEU. Plus, Micheal Keaton back as Batman was freakin awesome and we finally see Nicholas Cage's Superman.
Actually, Aquaman 2 will close out the DCEU.
Idk about all that 😂😂
Everything you listed is exactly why this movie is flopping🤣
As now, this film is THE biggest bomb, ever, even more than Green Lantern, Black Adam, Wonder Woman '84, 2015's Fan4stic, BVS, and 2016's all women Ghostbusters. The two Suicide Squad films are way better than this mess.
I been saying all along they are destroying the super hero genre with all these idiotic multiverse stories.
Great video. It's so frustrating when a movie gets mostly positive reviews but then bombs at the box office. I personally loved the movie.
Shazam 2, Black Adam and The flash all flopped at the box office, sheesh.
Might as well toss Blue Beetle on the pile. I don't see that ending well either.
@@tonymcneill7779 well I hope that’s not the case, but you might be right.
Dc sucks still now
Ezra Miller The Terroriser of Hawaii and Vermont.
Miller still can't run....... I'd recast the role just for that.
I am not a DCU fan at all, but I have to say that this is probably my favorite DC movie post Nolan Batman. Yes, I know, the bar is rather low. But it is good and should be given a chance.
Agree.
Want Michael keaton back in The Bold & The Brave 🙏🔥🔥🔥🧡
"They" is a whacko and "they" isn't getting a dime from me.
DC FanGirls on Spidy No Way Home: “All the movie is is nostalgia bait not worth it “
Also DC FanGirls: “OMG MICHEL KEYTON MUST GO WATCH THIS GARBAGE”
“Multiverse” is like a kid playing with the newest DC comics toys and throwing in some old Mego, Super Powers, Kenner and DC Direct figures in there.
That’s a damn good analogy.
"Barry Allen". Bollocks. It's Sheldon Cooper role-playing as Barry Allen. It always was.
Might have been better if it was Sheldon Cooper as the Flash.
Why didn't Barry want to know who killed his Mom? Maybe he could have stopped it that way?
Bad CGI. Anytime Michael Keaton was on screen was good. Supergirl was passable. Clooney was not a good choice to include.
The biggest problem is Ezra Miller was bad. & you got 2 of him in the movie, 1 more obnoxious.
Some good easter eggs (George/Christopher Reeves etc) but I felt this was a very bad movie, where the hero creates the villain & then doesn't actually resolve the issues himself, the villain (in a way) does.
I really wish the VO person pronounced his "T's", instead of saying "Warner Bros loh (lot?)", "Michael Kea-un", "cer-un" (certain?), etc. This is a pet peeve of mine but once I hear it, I can't take the speaker seriously.
Abnormal people coping on a movie like their life depends on it. This is peak modern humanity.
Getting rid of Henry Cavill's SUPERMAN practically DOOMED this movie ! Just one of the reasons why "THE FLASH ⚡️" FLOPPED & FAILED so miserably and all !
James Gunn is an idiot for firing Henry Cavill and changing the ending by having George Clooney of all people show up 🙄🤦😒 ! Clooney is ***THE*** WORST "BATMAN 🦇" from ***THE*** WORST "BATMAN 🦇" movie ! WHY... pray tell... would ANYONE invite THAT version of the character back into ANY DC film 🙄🤦😒 !?!?!? Only an IDIOTIC FOOL like James Gunn, that is 🙄🤦😒 ! And then, there's that very last post-credits scene which was so INCREDIBLY DISrespectful to the legendary DC superhero known as AQUAMAN 🙄🤦😒 !
That being said... it wasn't that bad of a film despite its many flaws 🤔 ! It was more than great to see Michael Keaton's BATMAN again after so many decades 😁 !
#BRINGBACKHENRYCAVILL
#FIREJAMESGUNN
#RESTORETHESNYDERVERSE
Honestly, Enough SUPERHEROES
Ezra Miller was a terrible choice for the flash character( for many reasons) he deserves all of the failure that this film will bring him.😆
....and I'm sure this is a completely unbiased video🤦
I’ve seen it twice in Cinema now and if they include the alt ending on the 4K blu ray, I’ll be buying that too.
There is no alt ending.
Glad you supporting a fellow groomer.
I liked it but.. Barry can't change the past but he can see it. Like WHO KILLED HIS MOM??? Big stupid plot hole.
I'm glad at least Ben Affleck left satisfied. He's the only person I see as older Batman. Dark Knight Returns was made for Ben Affleck.
"you wanna get nutff, lets get nutff"
Take out the nostalgia and thar audience score would be lower.
The best part of the movie was Michael Keaton as Batman, it would be great more movies with his version of Batman
Saw it in IMAX - yep entertainment…
I really think people forgot how to just lighten up and have fun at the movies. Every movie has little things that just don't work for everyone, but don't make it a bad movie in total. Nerd movies particularly have to cater to the whiniest fan base ever. The movie was straight up fun front to back.
Thank you😊
It's not going to get a free pass because you can't be objective.
It did poorly and will continue to do so for a reason. It's not a good movie.
@@wukongsun6223 art is never objective. It's different things to different people. This movie wasn't made for miserable people who take their own opinions more seriously than anyone else. It's a fine movie. It's the movie it was trying to be. I probably won't watch it again, but I'm not acting like it was some afront to humanity either. Lighten up, it'll be good for you.
@@StickyMcdoodle Dude no one wanted to watch this garbage again!
It's in good company with BA, Shaz and dial of destiny 😂
I had fun at this movie
Dude who the f is this Michael Ketihn you keep referencing? I thought Michael Keaton was in it.
Everything Ezra does is cringe
I actually enjoyed it although there are so many "what could have been" moments.
You watched this movie with the director and producer- this might explain your heavy praise and light hand on its flaws
Yep. I don't get why this guy praising this piece of shit so much. I am sure he is paid a few bucks. 😂.
JoBlo can't stop shilling
The Flash has always been a super hero favorite of mine since the early Flash comics. I was not about to let Miller ruin my memory of the Flash. I won't even watch it on RUclips.
How is it “revisited” when it like just came out? I mean I saw it thought it was decent, good not great. Still enjoy the show tho. Keep up good work!!
Probably wanted to talk about it while it was hot in people's memories.
Wait... When's did this come out? I couldn't have possibly hidden under a rock for this long
I think having Clooney at the end drives home the fact that it's meant to be a comedy too.
"One of the best DC movies in recent years" is a very low bar to reach.
The RT critical consensus doesn't reflect the 65%/52% critic scores.
good job downplaying ezras crimes.
The studio should have picked option number 2 the film would still be in theaters now
It's a great film, too bad it doesn't get "blockbuster" status.
The Flash is the best Batman movie I've seen!
There was no villain and supergirl and Batman were pointless because they died.
Why defend the movie of that psychopath Ezra Miller? Please, somebody enlighten me.
The dude is a creep and yet still gets respected enough to get channels to use his preferred pronouns.
Oh dude, I had no idea . Will be boycotting Flash thank you Hot mess
I had a good time with the movie. flash was occasionally funny, batman was awesome, supergirl surprsingly good. and I still think the evil kryptonians are some of the best action villains. real bad cgi was only on the cameos which was kind of a shame. especially that one of them could have easily played his part
James Gunn should've announced his DC reboot after the DCEU ended its run.
Henry Cavill from the never made Superman: Flyby should have made a cameo.
Oh my God if I hear one more RUclipsr say “Ezra Miller of it all” one more time lol. Jesus these people just cannibalize one another lol.
I can't get used to you saying them when referring to Miller...it's jolting and hard to follow. I'm looking for a few or more people whenever u say it🙄
Also, it really sucks that we could've gotten Keaton in the role for the Batgirl movie instead. This was just stupidity on the part of WBD to go all in on this dumpster fire. If they absolutely had to release it, they should've put it on streaming instead and saved themselves the humiliation.
The one good thing to come from this is now Miller is toxic at the box office so he'll be stuck doing straight to DVD low budget films for a very very long time assuming those productions have someone with a tranq gun handy to deal with Miller if necessary.
Miller has threatened people, assaulted women on at least 2 occasions and groomed a minor using drugs and has never seen a day in court over it. That rightfully offends a lot of people. Just because he's rich and famous he gets away with crimes that would put anyone else away for years.
It's like David S Goyer is the only person they think can write a superhero movie. Sure, maybe you hire him for one or two things. After that you've got diminishing returns because one person only has so many ideas and it won't be long before their work becomes very samey which is exactly what's happened. The guy even worked on the David Hasselhoff STV Nick Fury movie. He's worked on scripts for Blade, Constantine, Batman, Superman, Batman v Superman, The Crow, Ghost Rider and other comic adjacent properties like Jumper and Terminator. Maybe it's time to get some new blood in the mix. Pun kind of intended.
To be fair, his script for The Flash is pretty good. It's the perfect Flash solo movie and probably the best script Goyer has ever written, and that was not even filmed, so crazy.
I hope that cheque from WB was at least worth it🤣🤣🤣🤣
HIS performance 😊
WB need to make Batman Beyond with Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne with Tim Burton to give closure to the Batman 89 Universe not to end up like he did in the Flash movie 😡
Only reason i watched it was for Micheal Keaton. Bonus that got see Batfleck and Gal as Wonder Woman one last time.
@15:27, Putting The Suicide Squade in comparison for box office gross is not fair considering how it was released
Why does he keep referring to Ezra Miller as they?
Once again, even if The Flash's box office was a measly $5, the extremely high quality of the overall film remains in tact. This is the era where trash like John Wick 4 makes cash. Nobody wants Flash or Dial of Destiny, but those of us who've actually watched them know how brilliant they are. Redlettermedia made a good point recently on how Tik Tok trending videos get more attention and traction than movies now. If objectively good films like Flash do poorly, it's not just Ezra and faith lost in DC. It's a sign of the times. Thankfully for the better half of us, Flash was a series finale. Now Gunn can start producing his commercial diarrhea that is devoid of all heart and motion picture magic. Just like their neighbor Marvel Studios.
Are there two of him of something?
I've literally just stopped watching at that point!
Them? They? I knew Ezra had complex mental issues, but I didn't know he had multiple personalities. Why indulging him in his (their?) mental illnessesses?
Stop calling him 'They' 😂.
It’s also an ignorant incorrect use of English.
Just went watching The Flash during the weekend and I sincerely liked it. I'm so sorry it bombed... 😞
I'm also one of the few that watched Green Lantern at the theater and I liked it a lot...
I'm saying because I believe both movies suffered from the same problem, being that other than Batman and Superman (maybe Wonder Woman?!), DC super heroes are not mainstream enough.
Historically both DC comics and movies had always been more serious in tones, with pretty much none of the ironic and more easy going tones of Marvel.
This unfortunately pushed out audiences from watching movies that are actually better than their box-office results show.
I have to say that thoroughly enjoyed the film, and thought it was one of the better DC film. I also didn't have a problem with the effects, not amazing but I just thought it was an artistic choice more than anything.
The thing is I think a lot of people who are slamming the film, haven't seen it, and it doesn't do reviewers any harm to give this film a kicking, because they know that with the Ezra Miller controversy, the public are not naturally going to be on the side of the movie. Also with the end of the current universe, there isn't going to be any harm done, and when they start giving positive reviews to bad movies (example: Star Wars The Last Jedi, has a 91% rating on Rotton Tomatoes), they can say they are not biased.
Trash movie
Warner's mishandling of the Batgirl movie and sweeping Ezra's behaviour under the carpet, back fired. Pity because I've heard it's a good movie but I won't be giving Warner my money to see it in the cinema.
This movie is just perfect🤘🏻
Batman killing russians is just what I needed😌
The problem people have with it is not because of "craziness during production". They have a problem with it because it's crap.
Thanks for sharing another awesome and entertaining video 🤩😁🎥🍿
Definitely the love & thunder or the dceu ….
At this point, I wouldn't mind giving Adam Brody another chance. =|
Considering all the production and directorial changes, added by Ezra has lost his mind, I’m honestly surprised this movie even got made.
Una buena película, hacían falta otros miembros de La Liga de la Justicia y algunos de las series de DC para que la película se moviera mejor en taquilla, también fallaron las peleas, no las encontré épicas y el final creo que pudo ser mejor no encontré a Black Flash como una amenaza
6:33 achin’? Do you have a robot narrating this that they can’t say “akin”?
I enjoyed the movie. It’s a shame it’s gonna bomb
