Movie Rating

This movie opens with a "previously on" montage, kind of like a CW show, so that's what we're dealing with here.
The first Escape Room is a relatively tight thriller, with multiple entertaining-as-hell set pieces, all wrapped up in a load of half-baked plot weirdness. This sequel doubles down on both of those things. The puzzle rooms themselves are more extravagant and ambitious, and sometimes, there's some tension on display. I just wish they would lean into the horror more and get gory!
However, the small semblance of plot is needlessly convoluted, and executed so poorly, that it doesn't make much sense, and it just doesn't matter. I wasn't annoyed that it was bullshit, because I just didn't care, as my brain cells slowly fizzled away.

Tournament of Champions is dumb and fun. Pretty forgettable, but a good enough time whilst it's happening.

The Fastest Man Alive

The Flash on CW! This show is absolutely brilliant in my true honest opinion. It started with Grant Gustin appearing as Barry Allen in a few episodes of Arrow, after that, they announced that his own show would be coming to the network. The hype encircled this new show, the veteran fans of The Flash were immediately on board. Then came the new fans of the Scarlet Speedster. This show has given attention to a hero I believe has been severely underrated and underappreciated. Barry Allen is a CSI Agent that gets struck by lightning and gains the power of the Speed Force, he becomes The Flash, the fastest man alive. The show focuses a lot on Barry just not being quite fast enough to beat the villain of each story arc, but it can be that sometimes Barry can't always save the day. For being a show called The Flash, it focuses on each hero and villain as equal parts to the show. Cameos from other heroes and villains of The Flash tv show back in the 80's-90's era are also a wonderdul addition and subtle nod that the Multiverse actually does exist. There's time travel, parralel dimension travel, seperate Earth travel, amazing character development, wonderful nods to past present and future DC Hero's and Villians. The show does somewhat get repetitive as in, it feels like they're losing ideas once they finish up a story arc. It does catch its footing after a few episodes, however. The Flash on CW is definitely the show that takes the cake from all the other shows on the network such as Arrow, Supergirl, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. We will see if Batwoman stays on par with The Flash when they finish that one up.
