Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE MORNING and today, I finally review one of my most anticipated movies of the year: The Flash. Wow, the narrative on this film has changed SO MUCH over the past number of years. Initially learning that cameras were FINALLY rolling on a Flash film, who is my 2nd favorite DC character of all-time, and that Michael Keaton (& Ben Affleck) would make appearances were so exciting but everyone's excitement was drowned out last year due to the Ezra Miller controversy. Then, as soon as the trailers and news about how good this movie was dropped, everybody's hype level, including my own, shot back up and I have been EAGERLY anticipating this day. At long last, here is my review of THE FLASH in a spoiler-free fashion.
