Los Angeles, April 26 - After plenty of controversies and a long delay, Warner Bros. DC Superhero flick The Flash is finally hitting the big screen this June. And it seems, the wait is going to be worth it for this Ezra Miller-fronted which is being hailed as one of the greatest comic book movies ever. ##
Directed by Andrés Muschietti, "The Flash" had its first screening at CinemaCon 2023 by Warner Bros., and the critics are sharing their strong reactions to the movie, especially to the unexpected cameos. It stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash along with Sasha Calle as Supergirl while Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck reprise their Batman roles.##
Have a look at some of the early reviews for "The Flash" from the CinemaCon event - ##
Erik Davis of Fandango calls "The Flash" a tremendous and everything you want from a superhero film. "DC's The Flash is TREMENDOUS! Forget DC, it is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made. An all-timer. Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast. SO MANY nerdy details. I'm in tears at the end. Everything you want from a superhero film & more", he wrote.##
Managing Editor for Fandom, Eric Goldman calls it a major standout for DC. "Yeah, The Flash is legit great! It delivers some notably thrilling, fun, and creative moments I felt I hadn't seen in a million other superhero movies. Is The Flash of the best superhero movies ever? I dunno, need to think on that... there's a lot of strong ones at this point! But it's a major standout for DC and feels like a really fitting/poignant way to close out the insane peaks and valleys that has been the DCEU to date", he said.##
Gizmodo's senior reporter Germain Lussier said, "Yup. The Flash is as good as rumored. It's Back to the Future meets Spider-Man: No Way Home with all the humor & heart of the former and action and surprises of the latter. If anything, it might be a tad too ambitious but it’s also just incredibly satisfying, heartwarming & fun".##
Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap, hails it as "the greatest DC movie of the last 30 years other than Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. "BELIEVE THE HYPE! Christopher Nolan movies aside, The Flash Movie is the GREATEST DC movie of the last 30 years that belongs in the same conversation as SUPERMAN 78 and BATMAN 89. The movie breaks incredible new ground in superhero cinema & honors DC lore of years past", he announced.##
Film Critic Scott Mantz calls The Flash awesome and one of the best DC movies. "THE FLASH is awesome! One of the very best DC movies, a perfect blend of action, heart & humor! So many WOW & chill-inducing moments that longtime DC fans will love! EZRA MILLER is superb (twice, actually!) & MICHAEL KEATON's still got it!", he wrote.##
ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis had high praise for the new DC movie. "Damn, The Flash is good! It's super inventive both visually and in concept. The dynamic of two Barry Allen's is crazy well done. Emotions hit me intensely hard, solid surprises, and it got me wanting to watch again and really eager to see how they follow it. Well done", said BD.##
Decider's Alex Zalben said, "Believe the hype: The Flash is better than being choke-slammed to the ground outside a bar in Iceland. By the end of the movie, you'll feel like you got away with multiple crimes in Hawaiʻi and are anchoring a massive tentpole superhero film with virtually no consequences".##
HCA Critics member Daniel Howat hailed it one of the best superhero movies in a long time. "The Flash is massively entertaining! Extraordinarily funny, but still has solid emotional stakes. It's one of the better multiverse movies out there. Tons of fun surprises. A genuinely superb superhero movie - one of the best in a long time! Very, very satisfying", he said.##
Collider's Steven Weintraub said "The Flash is fantastic. I know Ezra Miller has made a lot of mistakes but they are soooooo good in this movie. Loved Keaton, the action, humor and emotion. Andy Muschietti has crafted something special. Thumbs way up
Screen Rant's Rob Keyes especially lauded the unexpected stuff in the movie. "It has some stuff in it you will not believe and it showcases much more of Barry Allen’s powers. It is indeed one of DC’s best and fits nicely as a bridge story between the old and new DCEU franchises. It’s also the funniest DC movie".##
"The Flash" will debut in theaters on Jun 16 in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages.##
