Critics shared their first reactions to The Flash following its first showing at CinemaCon.
Safe to say, expectations are running high ahead ofThe Flash’s debut.
Forget DC, it is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made.
Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast.
SO MANY nerdy details.
Im in tears at the end.
Its super inventive both visually and in concept.
The dynamic of two Barry Allens is crazy well done.
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 KEATONs still got it!"
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.
WB didnt show the after the credits scenes."
The movie breaks incredible new ground in superhero cinema & honors DC lore of years past."
It has some stuff in it you will not believe and it showcases much more of Barry Allens powers.
Its also the funniest DC movie."
Michael Keaton is … chef’s kiss.
I didn’t realize how much I needed Keaton’s Batman in my life again.
Some really emotional moments here.
Sasha Calle is awesome - I want to see more of her!"
Extraordinarily funny, but still has solid emotional stakes.
Its 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."
Strikes the perfect tone.
The last hr is MOSTLY terrible.
Just an utter mess thatll leave you asking, what the HELL is going on?
Fan service & DC villain problem strike again.
Mixed bag overall."
Parts are funny and fun, but I was completely exhausted by the second hour.
A far cry from the best superhero movie of all time.
Andy Muschietti captures what many of us have always dreamed for a cinematic Flash story.
But there’s also plenty of just bizarre decisions.
Some story related and others technical.
Not amazing but still pretty good at times.
My prediction: general audiences are totally going to enjoy this.
Long time DC fans are going to walk away very happy too.
It’s tailored for that experience."
The comedic timing and delivery are on point.
Yet another winner for Andy Muschietti."

With tons of heart and two outstanding performances by Ezra Miller.
I honestly cant believe ‘The Flash’ actually exists.
It presses every button.
Ill see it 1,000 times.”
The colors are impeccable and the action is such a thrill.
Ezra Miller leads with depth!
Michael Keaton is superb as Batman again!
Sasha Calle captivates with grace as Supergirl!
A brilliant film."

It stands out as one of the best DC movies ever made.

The acting is beyond great.
Keaton delivers everything you want.
