To share what makes the #TheFlash special would be to spoil it. Go as blind as possible. It sticks to the landing, begins with a sequence that truly needs to be seen to be believed, and is a riot from start to finish. No wonder WB is confident on this one – it’s a hit.

Lauren Huff (EW): “Share what you make of Flash special would be to spoil it. It lands firmly, kicks off with a sequence that has to be seen to be believed, and is a riot from start to finish. We already know why Warners feel confident about this movie, it’s a success.”
Caught an unfinished cut of #TheFlash and dug it quite a bit! Especially how the narrative challenges Barry to confront who he is, who he could have become, and how one’s influenced by the people in (or not in) their life.
It’s a successful mix of heartfelt coming-of-age… pic.twitter.com/CB7mTDEZXC

Perry Nemiroff (Collider): “I’ve seen the unfinished footage of Flash and I’ve gotten quite a bit. especially for how The narrative challenges Barry to face who he is, who he might have become, and how one is influenced by the people in one’s life.”
“It’s a successful mix of components of a coming of age, stellar action (I loved the style of Flash’s powers and the creativity in those scenes) and lots of laughs. The comic timing and delivery are perfectly measured.”
DC’s #TheFlash is TREMENDOUS! Forget DC, it is without a doubt among the best superhero films ever made. Still 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 pic.twitter.com/xYSn0zuXMm

Erik Davis (Fandango): “The Flash from DC is tremendous! Forget DC, it’s hands down among the best superhero movies ever made. Exceptional. Original narrative, fantastic action sequences, a great cast. Lots of geeky details. She was crying at the end. It’s everything you want from a superhero movie and more.”
THE FLASH: far more madcap than I expected. Really nailed what reading a 5-issue crossover comic book is like. Tons of Ezra Miller being zany and time paradox stuff. Nerds will lose their minds at the ending. And beginning and middle. Comics!

jordan hoffmann (Vanity Fair): “Much crazier than I expected. It borders on what it’s like to read a five-volume crossover comic. There’s a lot of Ezra Miller being wacky and time paradox stuff. The geeks will lose their minds at the end. And at the beginning, and in the middle. comics!”
yup. #TheFlash is as good as rumored. It’s Back to the Future meets Spider-Man: No Way Home with all the humor & heart of the former and action and surprises of the latter. If anything, it might be a tad too ambitious but it’s also just incredibly satisfying, heartwarming & fun. pic.twitter.com/Yysb9mjiAm

Germain Lussier (Gizmodo): “Yeah. Flash It’s as good as rumored. Is Return to the future mixed with 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 might be too ambitious, but it’s also very satisfying, moving and funny.”
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. pic.twitter.com/hhT6dXz6PO
