I just finished watching an early screening for the flash here in Virginia.
I had mixed feelings at first:
The cgi was rough in many areas, and Ezra’s acting felt more awkward than good to me.
Though, about halfway into it, and near the end, I grew more invested into where the story was going and how everything was going to come to a conclusion. The payoff to everything was pretty good I’ll admit.
I don’t want to know anything but did you get the version with post credit scenes?

But realistically I shouldn’t have said anything about the reactions, I don’t want to start any unnecessary drama, was just frustrated seeing a reaction that seemed pretty positive only to point that out.

He did say early on that it's one of the greatest superhero movies ever, but then in his top 5 list recently it wasn't there. Maybe top 10 for him? Or maybe just promoting the brand with a good movie, but overhyping. We'll see soon enough!
Ya this is how I phrased it a few weeks back when discussing what Gunn said, it’s probably in his top 10 or 15 and even if it is at that ranking that’s pretty damn good when I think of my top 15 comic book movies I like.

He did say it was at least one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. Though again, I don't really think that should be factored into the actual review.
I don’t want to start anything in the thread I just kinda wish people would put out their thoughts without that stuff but i understand it’s all about engagement for most of these people so I get it.

I agree that it shouldn't affect the review, but Gunn has said this I thought?
He said it’s his favourite movie of the year minus guardians cause he doesn’t rate his own movies like that, and said it was one of the best superhero movies he’s seen.

I mean, Warner social media did quote lots of people saying that and Zaslav said it as well
I do think is unfair but we could imagine that more serious critics could’ve talk about this type of marketing in their thoughts for weeks now
Zaslav never said that, he said “it’s the best superhero movie he’s ever seen”. You can take that in whatever context you want but it’s obvious he was just trying to pump up the movie. It really doesn’t matter at this point cause it’s already been put out there for a while now so I’d expect it to keep happening.

THIS.
Literally no one has ever said this and it's the same people creating this content to use it against the movie. It should have stopped by now.
Zaslav shouldn’t have ever said anything but not much you can do at this point to stop that train lol. People really dislike Zaslav so I’d expect this to keep coming up.

Man, this “greatest superhero movie”
nonsense is so annoying :/. Literally no one said that ever. Very frustrating that positive reactions are adding this stuff.

it’s the best SH movie of all time I guarantee it will get an A+ and do 100*6.5 or whatever.

Is this not the account that shut down after James Gunn called them out for lying?
I don’t believe so, Gunn has never called them out.

Well, if you use the Report functionalities, that means at least somebody on the staff will be aware and look into the issue. And if you think that is insufficent for whatever reason, then @ me specifically, or another moderator, and I/they will take care of the problem if they think it's an issue or not.
And speaking of, I have threadbanned both 21C and Willowra for their trolling and conspiratorial nonsense. While 21C's post was reported, it would have been better if you did the action or just tell a moderator the problem, instead of being all "WHY IS NOBODY DOING ANYTHING". We have lives and jobs outside of this forum and we can't be here every waking minute, especially when last weekend we had to deal with another controversial release re: Little Mermaid.
Thanks for banning a few of them.

Please explain how that would balloon the budget.
Do you know the post schedule or are you saying it spent 18 consecutive months with people actually working on post? VFX houses don't work on T&M, they are fixed price bids whether they take 6 months or 24 months. And where did you get the insider information that the movie was pretty much in post the entire 18 months instead of the logical assumption that people worked on it for their parts until done instead of every single day over those 18 months.
Editing and sound design etc are also fixed fee based on guild contracts unless there's extenuating circumstances for more work than previously decided.
You can't just say "18 months in post" as justification for any number you want. Please describe how 18 months in post would cause major budgetary overruns. Or are you just parroting something without actually knowing how the movie industry works?
That’s this whole thread in a nutshell.
Everyone is conveniently forgetting how VfX houses have all been so overworked after covid and how many of these movies changed their release dates to accommodate more time for them to do work on their movies.
Anyways, I’m done responding to those types of posts in here, Twitter and this thread have ruined the lead up to this movie that I was really excited for. I know it sounds juvenile to say that but it’s kinda hard to avoid when here and twitter is basically the two places I frequent the most when I’m online.
People can do their gloating when the movie doesn’t make any money or whatever, I’m just gonna watch this and try and enjoy myself.

Sadly it won't cause the DC fanbase is very fractured.
The biggest mistake was not letting Snyder finish his arc, it will haunt them for years ahead.
The new Superman actor will need to deal with a lot of trolls out there.
I think that Gunn is making a huge mistake as well in casting yet another new Batman instead of waiting for Reeves to
finish his Batman stories.Nothing against Snyder or his fans as I don’t want to go down that road again but that’s definitely not what’s gonna haunt them lol.

Regardless of the final quality, I have never seen so many people rooting for a movie to fail in my life. Following The Flash has been so exhausting, and with the amount of vitriol online surrounding every single aspect of this movie, I'm now fully expecting this vitriol to extend to some critics' reviews even if the movie is good.
Ya this has been a constant as a fan of dc movies over the last decade, granted the company hasn’t done much to help themselves but it is exhausting following certain movies I’ve been excited for, this thread being a perfect example. It’s kinda hard to escape anywhere tbh cause social media is bad as well.
Oh well, I’m hoping Gunns reboot can change some people’s attitudes towards future dc projects.

Okay, scrap the 280 million figure. 220 to 190M, and waiting for the Deadline to further decrease it to 170M.
Lol ok. Or you could just admit you’re wrong.

No. The after credit scene has apparently been reshot as well, but what I was referring to was the scene that plays before the credits roll. The original ending they shot established that Keaton and Calle are now part of the DCEU, but that’s apparently not what the ending for the finished movie is. I don’t know if you want me to give it away, but people like ViewerAnon have backed this up for what it’s worth.
Thanks for clarifying, I remember reading that as well.

ViewerAnon: I’ve heard THE FLASH’s actual budget is closer to $300 million than $200 million. It’s not getting canceled or scrapped to be reshot.
He deleted this tweet.
As I said please provide a trade article, you said the trades were working overtime to help WB with their narratives. ViewerAnon is great though, I enjoy following them on Twitter but budgets isn’t normally what I see them tweeting about, more about test screening info.
And honestly I’m not even questioning wether VA is right or not about the 280m, I’m just tired of seeing posts from people spouting info without any facts. You said trades in your original post and the trades never said 280m. Maybe that article will come out in a few months also by for now it hasn’t happened.

I never said anything about the budget being $280 million for this. I just said that the ending was reshot a couple of times. I didn’t get that from any ResetEra thread. No way I would ever go near that hellhole.
I think that person who quoted me just said the wrong users name cause it also started with a W but wasn’t you.

Yes. They initially reshot the ending last Fall to include Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot in a group shot at the end, and they reportedly reshot the ending again after Gunn took over. I won’t give away what the final ending reportedly is, but I’m inclined to believe it’s true.
Wasn’t that just an after credit scene (that is now changed anyways?)?That’s not really the end of the movie, correct me if I’m wrong though please.

After a quick Google check, the only thing I've seen is a ResetEra thread from August 2022 that cites a (now deleted) tweet, and was subsequently locked because the source was dubious. No one else has anything about a $280 million figure, and I'm willing to guess Witty's claim is based on that same dubious tweet.
Ya i saw articles citing that loser MTTS number of 330m lol but couldn’t find a trade article for 280m. Reddit is another trash place.

from 280 to 220 to 190M, trades are working hard for WB to prevent the narrative of The Flash flopping lol
Can you provide a link to a trade that said the budget was 280m ? I may have missed it before so I’d love to read the article and I’m
searching on Google and can’t find it. And please don’t link me stuff to twitter from mytimetoshine or fandomwire or some site that is just using made up numbers.

why do people like these movies so much.
I didn’t really enjoy the first spiderverse, the animation style gave me a huge headache and I thought the movie was just fine. I know I’m in a very small minority so I tend to try and not talk about stuff I’m not really interested in, it’s nice seeing people enjoy things so I normally just stay out of those threads/discussions if I don’t have anything to add.

Trades were also reporting a 190 million-200 million budget for Black Adam back when it came out, it was only until months later it was discovered it was closer to 250 million.
Cool, so when they report this at 250m
in a few months we can have that discussion then, for now I’ll go with what’s been reported at 190-220.

Probably best to leave the Snyder stuff alone before the thread turns to toxic. His fans have plenty of stuff to look forward to at Netflix, there’s no reason to even discuss him and dc anymore.
