The Flash Receives a Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes
The much-awaited DC movie, The Flash, has received mixed reviews and scored 73% on the popular review site, Rotten Tomatoes. Despite high-profile endorsements from James Gunn, Tom Cruise, and Stephen King, the movie has fallen short of being called “one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.” The film, starring Ezra Miller, is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson. The movie will hit theaters on June 16 with fans eagerly awaiting the return of Michael Keaton as Batman.
Mixed Reviews for The Flash
The critical opinions for The Flash have been varied. Julian Roman of MovieWeb was full of praise for the movie. He claimed the film gloriously lives up to the hype and has given DC fans what they’ve been aching for. Roman commended Michael Keaton’s return as Batman, where he played the character as older and wiser but just as formidable. Pete Hammond of Deadline called it the best superhero movie since Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, describing it as fresh, invigorating, and hugely entertaining. David Fear of Rolling Stone similarly felt that The Flash is one of the best examples of the modern take on the comic-book movie.
However, some reviewers have criticized the sheer level of fan service. IGN’s Joshua Yehl criticized the level of fan service, but he found the intimate genuine story of grief very gripping. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, called the movie uneven, and the wobbly climax less interesting than the character-driven buildup.
Negative Reviews
Some reviewers have been negative about the movie, such as Owen Gleiberman from Variety, who criticized The Flash for too much fan service and Easter eggs, even calling it an excuse to throw everything but the Batcave sink at the audience. Ross Bonaime of Collider also criticized the movie’s storyline, which was lost amid a cavalcade of cameos. Additionally, Screen Rant’s Molly Freeman criticized the movie’s divisive leading actor, Ezra Miller, and Victoria Mahoney.
Advice for Audiences
While opinion may be divided, audiences should watch The Flash for themselves. Fans of DC Comics will be excited to see the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman and the multiverse of possibilities that the movie explores. However, audiences should also be aware of the reviews and adjust their expectations accordingly.
Final Thoughts
The Flash may not have reached the highest score on Rotten Tomatoes, but the movie is a fresh take on the comic-book genre that both DC and Marvel fans will enjoy. The performances are strong, giving the audience a genuinely weighty concept, and the bombastic elements fans expect from the franchise. Fans should celebrate the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman, which is an excellent indication that The Flash will deliver a fascinating exploration of DC’s Multiverse.
