Critics Rave At The CinemaCon Premiere Of The Flash.
The upcoming action-packed superhero blockbuster, The Flash, has already swept the globe with its recent premiere at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Critics have been raving about the near-complete cut of the movie, and their overwhelmingly positive reactions have been swarming the internet ever since.
The film promises to be a game-changer, continuing the evolution of the DC Extended Universe with an all-star cast that includes Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Michael Shannon as General Zod, and introduces Sasha Calle as a new Supergirl.
Critics praised the performances of the illustrious cast members, the charming humour, and the emotional depth, with some even claiming it might be one of the best superhero movies ever made.
Scott Menzel from We Live Entertainment declared it "hands down one of the best superhero films of all time. It has a little bit of everything! Action, emotion, heart, humour, and plenty of nostalgia."
The film delivers some notably thrilling, fun, and creative moments that many felt they hadn't seen in a million other superhero movies, according to Eric Goldman from Fandom.
As Fandango's Erik Davis puts it, “DC’s 'The Flash' is TREMENDOUS! It is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made. An all-timer. Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast. I’m in tears at the end. Everything you want from a superhero film and more.”
The film centres around the superhero’s journey through time to save his mother from being killed, but his actions unknowingly trigger a sequence of events that lead to the emergence of multiple parallel universes. This storyline is adapted from the famous Flashpoint narrative in DC Comics, where The Flash encounters alternate versions of Batman and Superman while struggling to avert a catastrophic collapse of the multiverse.
Based on the raving critic reviews and the captivating and iconic plot, The Flash is on track to be one of the best superhero movies yet.
The blockbuster will hit the big screen on June 15. Find out more here.
