Love at first sight for the fastest man in the world? Expected to hit theaters in France on June 14, The Flash was previewed at CinemaCon (an international cinema convention held in Las Vegas).
The media on the ground are not subject to any embargo, the first reports appeared on the Internet. And to say they are positive is an understatement. Like James Gunn a few weeks ago, some are even going so far as to call it one of the best superhero movies ever, joining Tom Cruise’s enthusiasm for Andy Muschietti’s feature film.

“DC’s The Flash is huge! Forget DC, it’s arguably one of the best superhero movies ever made. One of the best. Inventive storytelling, fantastic action, great actors. And so many details for nerds. I was in tears. The ending. This It’s everything you want from a superhero movie and then some.”
#Excitement is fantastic. I know Ezra Miller made a lot of mistakes, but they are so good in this movie. Loved Keaton, action, humor and emotion. Andy Muschietti has created something special. Thumbs up.

(“Flash is fantastic. I know itEzra Miller He did a lot of stupid things but he is very good in the movie. Adored Keaton, action, humor and emotion. Andy Muschietti has created something special. Thumbs up. Warner Bros. No post-credits scenes were shown. “)
The Flash is one of the best superhero movies of all time. No joke, The Flash is the ultimate movie experience because it has a little bit of everything! Action, emotion, heart, humor and lots of nostalgia. Ezra Miller is phenomenal as the double Barry Allens. Michael… pic.twitter.com/F7SHA30vZM

“The Flash is one of the best superhero movies of all time. Seriously, The Flash is the ultimate cinematic experience because it has a little bit of everything. Action, emotion, heart, humor, and a whole lot of nostalgia. Ezra Miller is phenomenal in doubles. Barry Allen, Michael Keaton and Sasha Kale They are also very good.”
“This is a film that audiences will watch again and again. Oh, and avoid all possible spoilers because there are incredible surprises that will really surprise you. Can’t wait to watch it again.”)
Everything you’d expect from a superhero movie and more
Yes. #Excitement It’s only as good as rumours. It’s Back to the Future Spider-Man: No Way Home with all the humor and heart of the first, and the action and surprises of the second. If anything, it can be very ambitious, but also incredibly satisfying, heartwarming and fun. pic.twitter.com/Yysb9mjiAm

(“Yes, the Flash is as good as the rumors say. Between back to the future and Spider-Man: No Way Home, with the humor and heart of the first and the action and surprises of the second. It might be a little too ambitious, but it’s also incredibly satisfying, heartwarming and fun.”)
Just watch #Excitement at CinemaCon. There are things in it that you won’t believe and it shows a lot more Barry Allen powers. It’s truly one of DC’s best and fits well as a bridge story between the old and new DCEU franchises. It’s also the funnest DC movie ever. pic.twitter.com/uDepMKVVG1

“I just saw The Flash at CinemaCon. It has stuff you wouldn’t believe and it’s a better representation of Barry Allen’s powers. It’s truly one of the best DC movies and does a great job. The connection between the old and the new. The DCEU franchise. It’s also the most It’s a fun DC movie.
“The audience at CinemaCon loved it. There are big scenes full of special effects, and I’m wondering what everyone will think about the ending. Some of the things that come together are not what you expect. You might think you know, but you don’t.”
FLASH: Much more attractive than I expected. Really, what a 5 issue crossover comic book. Ton Ezra Miller is brazen and a paradox of time. Nerds will pass out at the end. and beginning and middle. Comics!
-Jordan Hoffman (@jhoffman) April 26, 2023
(“Flash: Crazier than I thought. They really nailed what a five-issue crossover read is. Lots of weird Ezra Miller and time paradoxes. The geeks will eventually go crazy. And in the beginning and middle. Comics!”
“Morning Thoughts: I’m impressed with how The Flash manages to capture DC’s rocky sci-fi vibe. It also incorporates the Snyderverse without compromising its style. Loved this movie. That being said, beware my more talented colleagues. Take it easy .”)
Between Back to the Future and Spider-Man: No Way Home, the former with humor and heart, the latter with action and surprises
Yes, #Excitement Legit is great! It delivers some exceptionally exciting, fun, and creative moments that I felt I hadn’t seen in a million other superhero movies. Got a smile from Warner Bros. logo at the top and I was even digging stuff inspired by movies I wasn’t into. pic.twitter.com/B5vFyFBBcl

“Yes, The Flash is really great! It gives us uniquely exciting, fun and creative moments that I haven’t seen in a million other superhero movies. At first I smiled at the Warner logo and even liked some of it. Inspired by movies I don’t like.”
Damn, #Excitement it’s good! It’s super inventive, both visually and in concept. The dynamic between the two Barry Allens is insanely well done.
The emotions hit me hard, solid surprises, and it made me want to watch it again and I was very interested to see how it was followed up. well done pic.twitter.com/7QqiHVNAJy

#Excitement Pretty cool, and now it’s clear why DC didn’t release this on the shelf. Michael Keaton is…Chef’s Kiss. I didn’t realize how much I needed Keaton’s Batman back in my life. Some really emotional moments here. Sasha Kalle is amazing – I want to see more of her! pic.twitter.com/2DYhSKMfyI

“Flash is pretty amazing and now I understand why DC didn’t leave him. Michael Keaton is the main surprise. I didn’t realize how much I needed his Batman in my life. Today. There are some really emotional moments. Sacha Kalle is amazing – I want to see him again !”)
Ezra Miller leads the dance with intensity. Michael Keaton is excellent in the Batman role he takes. Sasha Kale captures Supergirl gracefully
I just watched #Excitement And it’s the most powerful superhero movie I’ve ever seen! The colors are flawless and the action is so exciting. Ezra Miller leads the way with depth! @MichaelKeaton Great as Batman again! @SashaCalle Conquer with grace like Supergirl! It’s a brilliant movie.

“I just saw The Flash, and it’s the most dynamic superhero movie I’ve ever seen! The colors are flawless and the action is a real thrill. Ezra Miller leads the dance with intensity. Michael Keaton is great as the Batman he’s reinventing. Sasha Kalel captures with grace as Supergirl. Brilliant movie.”
#Excitement is massively entertaining! It’s wildly funny, but still has solid emotional stakes. This is one of the best multiverse movies ever.
Tons of fun surprises. A truly great superhero movie – one of the best in a long time! Very, very satisfying. #CinemaCon pic.twitter.com/zRa1Xzl79l

“The Flash is highly entertaining. Wildly funny, but still has strong emotional stakes. It’s one of the best multiverse movies ever made. Tons of fun surprises. A truly great superhero movie – one of the best in a long time.” It seems. Very, very satisfying.”
The first hour is quite fantastic (…) and the last one is absolutely terrible
Apart from the journalist who pointed out the tendency of his colleagues to put too much on the chain, somewhat dissonant voices were heard in the stream of mostly positive opinions.
FLASH: The first hour is pretty fantastic. It gives a perfect tone. Ezra is great. Heroic. funny emotional. The last hour is mostly scary. Just a complete mess that will leave you asking, “What the hell is going on?” The fan service and DC villain problem keeps popping up. A mixed bag overall.
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) April 26, 2023
“The first hour is pretty fantastic. Just sets the tone. Ezra is awesome. Heroic. Funny. Service and DC’s problem with villains hit again. Mixed overall.”
no, #Excitement It’s not one of the “greatest superhero movies” ever made. It is not bad. is not great. somewhere in the middle. It’s good to see Keaton back as Batman, even with the atrocious wig. Important caveat: I’m not a big comic book guy.
— Brent Lang (@BrentALang) April 26, 2023
(“No, The Flash is not ‘one of the best superhero movies ever made.'” It’s not bad. It’s not that good. Note: I’m not a big fan of comic book movies.
While it’s common for superhero movies to be scooped up because of positive early reviews, and caution is needed to risk disappointment, that privilege is usually reserved more for Marvel than DC. And it’s worth noting that these feature films, with the recent exception of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, have not generated such enthusiasm recently.
However, we’ll have to wait a little longer to form our own opinion, as The Flash hits our theaters in just two months. But these first reviews will intrigue and compel you.
