Andy Muschietti's The Flash is, uh, flashy and frantic and overwrought with comic book urgency but fumbles essential human elements by investing too much in the central premise of averting a tragic death through time travel.
The film's controversial non-binary star Ezra Miller does a commendable job in portraying speedy Barry Allen, in two separate but merged universes, but the story itself is burdened by the movie studio's ambitions -- the revival and redirection of the D.C cinema franchise.
It is regrettable that Marvel has done so much with multiple universe narratives over the past few years because those films make The Flash feel more than a little like an also-ran.
