Expectations continue to grow for Flash. During CinemaCon 2023 (from April 24 to 27), there was a group of communicators and critics who were able to see a first version of Flash. After viewing, they made some comments on social networks. What is the general feeling? The movie could be the most important of the year as far as superhero movies are concerned.
That scenario, if it came to fruition, would be something of an arrival in paradise for Warner Bros. Discovery. The company, submerged in a restructuring since last year, has been making different moves in relation to the DC Extended Universe. The most obvious? The arrival of James Gunn and peter safran to give another meaning to the franchise.
Yes ok Flash it is a project that is not directly related to the work of Gunn and Safran, it will have an influence on what will be presented later. Gunn himself explained that this film will be key in the reboot of the DC Extended Universe. Although there is still a little more than a month to go before the premiere of this feature film, there are already some positive reactions.
The first reactions to Flash
The film, starring ezra miller, has been one of the most controversial productions in recent years. To the irregularity of the DC Extended Universe, was added the subsequent confinement due to the COVID-19 and to this was added the restructuring of the company and the personal problems of the actor. The result? Confused weather.
However, the first reactions regarding Flash they are being positive; even, in some cases, exciting. The publisher of ColliderSteven Weintraub, wrote the following on his Twitter profile:
“The Flash is fantastic. I know Ezra Miller has made a lot of mistakes, but he’s very good in this movie. I loved (Michael) Keaton, the action, the humor and the emotion. Andy Muschietti has created something special. Thumbs up. WB did not show the scenes after the credits.
For his part, critic Erik Davis, wrote the next:
“Flash from DC is TREMENDOUS! Forget DC, It is hands down one of the best superhero movies ever made.. An all time timer. Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast. SO MANY details nerds. I’m crying at the end. Everything you want from a superhero movie and more.”
For his part, Andrés H. Ramos, from The Top Comics, also had access to the private function. The communicator explained the following: “If you were expecting Batman’s part to be the best, it’s definitely the best.. (…) Michael Keaton ends up stealing the spotlight in this film”. Ramos also explained that in Flash references to other feature films abound.
In a similar vein, critic Scott Menzel shared the following opinion:
“Flash It is without a doubt one of the best superhero movies of all time. It is not a joke, Flash It’s the ultimate movie experience, as it has a little bit of everything! Action, emotion, heart, humor and a lot of nostalgia. Ezra Miller is phenomenal as the stunt double Barry Allen. Michael Keaton and Sasha Calle are also very good. This is a movie that audiences will watch over and over again. Oh, and avoid all spoilers you can from this movie because there are some truly amazing surprises that will blow your mind. I can’t wait to see this again!”
