The Flash: First Reactions Praise DC's Multiverse Movie
Back to the Future
prevnext#TheFlash is a fun Back to the Future superhero movie that’s epic and emotional, with big blockbuster action and bigger heart. Michael Keaton’s Batman return tops off one of DC’s best movies. To quote Barry Allen: The Flash “beefs!” pic.twitter.com/41N4xRomQB

Well Done
prevnextDamn, #TheFlash 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. pic.twitter.com/7QqiHVNAJy

Believe the Hype
prevnextBELIEVE THE HYPE! Christopher Nolan movies aside, #TheFlashMovie 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. #TheFlash pic.twitter.com/zGkhpfjlsl

Tremendous
prevnextDC’s #TheFlash 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 pic.twitter.com/xYSn0zuXMm

Wonderful, But Cringe
prevnext#TheFlash is a good movie with really cringe moments. Everything with Batman & Supergirl is incredible! The Easter eggs too.

Funniest
prevnextThe audience at CinemaCon loved #TheFlash. It has some mega CG heavy scenes and I’m curious what everyone will think of the ending.

PERFECT
prevnext#TheFlash is chock full of references to the #DCEU, pop culture, nostalgia & even takes a fun jab at Marvel. It’s highly entertaining & surprisingly funny. At times it tries a little too hard for the laughs & the story toes the line between intriguing & absurd. #DCU #Batman pic.twitter.com/2zJgs6AcdL

Another Winner
prevnextIt’s a lot of movie and there were moments when I could somewhat feel it caving under the pressure of the mechanics of the concept and the themes it’s exploring, but for the most part, it moves well, looks good, radiates enthusiasm for the characters and story it’s telling, and…

One of the Best
prevnextJust out of #TheFlash at CinemaCon. Believe the hype folks – truly one of the great superhero movies. Ezra Miller (x2), Sasha Calle and MICHAEL KEATON. It’s pretty perfect and one of the best films of this type you could ever hope to see.

A Little Bit of Everything
prevThe Flash is hands down one of the best superhero films of all time. No joke, The Flash is the ultimate movie going experience as it has a little bit of everything! Action, emotion, heart, humor and plenty of nostalgia. Ezra Miller is phenomenal as dual Barry Allens. Michael… pic.twitter.com/F7SHA30vZM
