First announced in 2014 for a 2018 release, The Flash has come a long way and overcome many obstacles to hit our cinema screens!
The character made quick appearances in Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad before really making it to Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Today, he finally has his solo film.
With 12 films released since 2013, when audiences discovered Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, the DCEU has already earned $6.35 billion at the worldwide box office. The Flash is the thirteenth feature film to add to this saga.
Directed by Andy Muschietti, does the film resonate with fans of both the character and the DC Comics universe? With a 3.4/5 rating during that streak (out of an average of 222 ratings as of June 14 at 12 p.m.), AlloCiné’s viewership currently puts it on par with Aquaman, the only DC film to cross the $1 billion mark. .
“An excellent episode in the DC Universe”writes Frederick M. “Starting with the brilliant Flashpoint comics, you have to dare. But what a great cinematic debut for The Flash. Full of winks and cameos. Some very disturbing. I was dreading Batman 89, but it’s surprising and remains credible. Despite the weight of the years. Summer movie, Which should be seen and seen again in the cinema”.
For Yassin Lime: “Honestly I loved it, emotionally incredible, certain shots and scenes of the film make a huge impression on me reading the comics and moving these boxes, the actors are really incredible, the music in certain parts of the film that still stuck. In the skull when the movie comes out. The special effects are very flashy for anyone who has read Barry Allen’s comics.”
If it doesn’t have the maximum score, it’s also because there are disappointments like Culturevsnews:
“At the end of the day, The Flash is a movie that has good intentions and tries to explore interesting themes. Unfortunately, it’s held back by story issues, uneven special effects, and an inconsistency in its tone.
Superhero fans may find elements to appreciate in the film, including references to previous versions of the characters, but it’s unlikely to be considered a classic of the genre.
By comparison, with a 3.4/5, The Flash is (only) behind Wonder Woman (3.7) but ahead of Batman V Superman (3.3), Shazam (3.1), Justice League (2.7) or Suicide Squad (2.5) ).
Will this film end the “Snyderverse” in favor of the connected DC universe, which is currently being rebooted by James Gunn, and which will begin with a film about a young Superman? Please answer in the coming months because at this time we still don’t know who will be Kal-El’s new translator.
