From the onset, I knew suicide squad was going to be a huge success. Which is why it bugs me so much when I see how low its doing in the ratings.

THE FLASH – Season 2 Finale (Review)

zooo.jpg

 

SEASON DURATION – October, 2015 – May, 2016.

EPISODES: 23

FINALE EPISODE TITLE: The Race Of His Life.

WRITERS: Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing

DIRECTOR: Antonio Negret

STARRING: Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes.


 

PLOT: Barry vows to stop Zoom when he learns what the latter’s master plan is for Central City… and Earth One.

 

REVIEW: This season finale definitely lived up to its expectations; the acting was on point, nothing was predictable, and it definitely gave us action lovers – a worthy battle between zoom and the flash.

Generally speaking, it was terrific and a perfect ending for a season full of cries and deaths.

But then Barry just had to go and make that move right at the end.

As much as I’m excited about this, I cant help but think it will change things; and not for the better.

Sincerely, I believe Zoom is one of Barry’s greatest villains and by far my favourite – is it weird that I hope he returns… I also hope to see more of Keiynan Lonsdale next season as well. #JustPuttingItOutThere

REVIEW:
It grabs your attention,  and keeps it.  this truly is a brilliant adaptation… It’s despicable, humorous and mysterious – exactly the qualities a show of its genre needs… Haven’t seen nothing wrong with it….. YET!

**Except the fact that its a little too slow-paced #yawn

RATING –  9 Hearts 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙(Powerful)

REVIEW:

The Flash is a heart-warming and surprisingly impressive television show. Surprising because in comparison with the original comics, a lot of changes had been made plot-wise and character wise, but it still managed to win the hearts of fans worldwide. The characters are extremely loveable; even the villains. And that’s not exactly normal.

The special effects are above average at worst, and the acting is so good, it literally sucks you into their world, that you begin to feel what each and every character is feeling;

The lead actor especially – Grant Gustin is a champion when it comes to this aspect; a very emotional actor – that one!

But even with all the good sides, sometimes the story lines in The Flash can get a little too complicated for itself.

100-WORD REVIEW:

b1d22dd5b709d4d5df7609768d3b7dfe

Firstly, a round of applause for Melissa Benoist and her incredible portrayal of the DC Comic superhero – above average!

This show is one with obvious potential, if only it can be less predictable once in a while. Despite what everyone is saying, the fact that James Olsen was turned into a tall-black guy is not all that terrible… Awkward – YES!

The topic of feminism on the show is subtle, which I consider appropriate. And let’s not forget the BITCHY/INCREDIBLE Cat Grant!

Supergirl is nowhere near perfect but it’s still one of the best hero shows on Television today…

100 WORD REVIEW:
DAWN OF JUSTICE takes the cakes for one of DC’s greatest movies..

And that’s coming from me (a hard core Marvel fan)

Henry was SUPER!

Ben was A SURPRISINGLY PERFECT BATMAN..

But,  Jesse was without a doubt the brightest star on the big screen.  His portrayal of Lex Luthor is the best I’ve seen on TV in a while..

image

Sure the special effects are somewhat exaggerated.  But the movie is still a blast (no pun intended)  the CGi will give you braingasms AND there’s enough chaos and destruction to keep you smiling till the end…
