Let me first start off by saying I enjoyed this cross over a lot. This review will be about part 4 & 5 and not 1-3. Parts 1-3 were pretty close to perfect apart from a few details. Although I thought parts 4 & 5 were good, I felt the story could have been slightly altered just a little to make it even better. Let's start off with the good
The Not so great and how to improve
These were the main things I felt they should have changed. Let me make this clear, THIS IS MY OPINION. I personally hope you loved the crossover and enjoyed it more than I did and don't want to persuade your good opinion. I just felt Is share some constructive criticism. I know nothing can be perfect, but I feel these changes would satisfy most people.
- The acting was far better than it has a right to be for TV. Particularly Grant Gustin (Barry), Caity Lotz (Sara), and Stevie Amell (Oliver).
- The Ideas that went into it. (The speed force, shrinking stuff, and more)
- The CGI was great for TV and no complaints at all.
- The setup for future crossovers. The "Justice League", lets call it what it is.
- The Dual flash Scene. I'm sure this caught everyone off guard to see Ezra Miller as the flash even if it was a short scene. This was great and probably one of my favorite parts of the cross over even if it was cringe, but what do you expect from two Flash's.
- Their is much more to list , but I don't want to make this way way to long.
The Not so great and how to improve
- Oliver. His death was a great scene Don't Get me Wong. I personally would have wanted him to stay around in away. Many pointed out that if he remained as the Specter than he would be overpowered. I think what they should have done if have Oliver enter the speed force and retire at the cabin in the woods scene at the end of season 7. This would connect with Felicity going into something at the end of season 7 in the flash forwards. I feel this would of wrapped his story up nicely and given him what he deserves after all his sacrifices.
- the Bebo scene or should I say half. I did not like this scene at all and felt it was not needed. This was made worse by the fact that it was an average bank heist, but that glorifies it. I feel the money put I to CGI could have been better spend on somthing else, or someone else which connects to my next point.
- REVERSE FLASH. I and many other feel massively let down and played. We were teased of this cross over 5 years ago. The death of Barry Allen and the return of the Reverse Flash. Too me this degrades a part of season 1 of the flash that made it so great. The anticipation for this massive event in which the Flash and Reverse Flash have one of their biggest fights. I am furious he was not in this cross over, but I digress. They should have replaced the Bebo scene with the a reverse Flash scene. At the end I was praying that when they all sat down at the "Justice league" table the Reverse Flash would come running in and say: "sorry to interrupt the party" and then it would end. It would be a great cliff hanger and would be awesome to see how it wraps up on the flash and feel like the crisis is still on.
These were the main things I felt they should have changed. Let me make this clear, THIS IS MY OPINION. I personally hope you loved the crossover and enjoyed it more than I did and don't want to persuade your good opinion. I just felt Is share some constructive criticism.
