CinemaCon – The Flash movie reactions

Yesterday, The Flash movie, which is set to release on June 16th, 2023, had an early screening among critics at CinemaCon.

Just about every reaction I have seen on Twitter is positive, which really gives me hope for this movie! People are comparing it to The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale’s Batman), and are really loving it. I can’t wait to see it! Here are some of the reactions:

Erik Davis, who apparently works for Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes per his Twitter profile, said “DC’s #TheFlash is TREMENDOUS! Forget DC, it is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made. An all-timer. Inventive storytelling, FANTASTIC action sequences, great cast. SO MANY nerdy details. I’m in tears at the end. Everything you want from a superhero film & more…I’m honestly floored it’s this good. As a monster BACK TO THE FUTURE fan, it has BTTF vibes all day. Michael Keaton is amazing, as expected, and this is the best Ezra Miller has been as Flash. Affleck gets some of his best Batman moments, too, and Sasha Calle rocks! #TheFlash“

Sean O’Connell, who is managing editor at Cinema Blend, said “Nostalgic. HILARIOUS. With tons of heart and two outstanding performances by Ezra Miller. I honestly can’t believe #TheFlash actually exists. It’s magical. It presses every button. I’ll see it 1,000 times.”

There are many more reactions, and you can find them here. I am so incredibly excited for this movie. Only a month and a half (I think)! James Gunn also posted the second trailer for the movie, which is so awesome. You can see it here!

The trailer really gets you feeling attached to the characters, even though its only a few minutes long. I can’t imagine how the whole movie will make us feel.

Oh, and don’t think I’m going to write this whole post about a DC movie and not find a way to mention Superman lol. Apparently, and no one outside of CinemaCon has seen this yet, there was a Superman: Legacy title tease yesterday. I can’t wait to see it! It feels so great to be a DC fan right now. I can’t wait to see what the DCU has in store for us.

There isn’t really much else to say. The movie sounds amazing and most of the critics loved it. So go see The Flash on June 16th!
