The Flash Ratings & Reviews
- VooDue4d agoCameos were fun, changing the races is GAF, but multiverse is the absolute worst. I refuse to watch anymore movies with the multiverse. It's lazy writing from a generation of writers who never had to truly work hard in life.
- joepoppNovember 17, 2025This movie fits right in with the recent DC Universe! ...because it's garbage.
- KainMarch 14, 2025not that bad! i think the ending was stupid especially after the leaks had a different actor. supergirl was pretty dope.
- jshartzerSeptember 7, 2025My expectations were super low, so maybe that's why I didn't hate it. The kid and I laughed out loud several times.
- Paul SchwartzMarch 31, 2025Kinda drawn out yet I did very much enjoy having Michael Keaton as batman
- Ana Kaja PremerlSeptember 7, 2025Very bad. Just Look at the CGI. I prefer The Flash series.
- ርልዪረFebruary 23, 2025A new Dc Comics movie. Having seen previous ones not least 'Batman Vs Superman' 'Aquaman' and 'Justice League' will help a lot, otherwise you might get a bit confused. This is a loose adaptation of a DC comics story from 2011 called 'Flashpoint.' In which the Flash - Barry Allen - tries to save his mother from being killed when he was a boy. But finds that tampering with time has consequences. He's stuck in the new timeline. Batman here looks a little different. Can he fix things and get back to his right time? I am a DC fan first and foremost, so I am a bit biased. Or maybe it means that I'm just prepared to give things a chance. Also to go to the cinema and enjoy myself. As a result, I loved this. One of the best live action superhero films I've seen. You know sometimes you see a film and you think they clearly got the script sorted first? This is one of those. Solid and it flows perfectly. It hits the ground running [no procession of production company logos]. Has a wonderfully paced opening sequence that tells you all you need to know. And whatever you think of Ezra Miller the person, Ezra Miller the actor is amazingly good here, showing someone who has been scarred by past trauma. Then playing a dual role and making both parts very distinct characters. It is a Flash movie first and foremost. With some Batman. Barry gets great emotional arcs and a heroes journey. It really considers what this new world would be like - one brilliantly funny scene - and an awful lot of it was clearly filmed live. I did think I recognised some of the locations. And I was right. There's not that much cgi apart from when he's running and only a little bit of back projection. Said cgi is actually quite good, and any bits the internet didn't like are actually blink and you'll miss it. Michael Keaton is superbly understated. It uses a certain bit of music to fabulous effect. It was also great to see a big battle scene where there was genuine jeopardy and it didn't feel as if anyone was safe. The whole film doesn't play out entirely as I expected it to. Which was a pleasant surprise. Sasha Calle also makes an impression as Supergirl. Would be nice to see more of her in the role. I also love getting to first performances of films, and discovering them for myself. That way you can avoid spoilers and be genuinely surprised. And this does that. Several times. Seriously avoid spoilers. Seriously. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Well worth a watch.
- Manuel FrangisMarch 26, 2025I just watched The Flash and I honestly have to give it 0.5 out of 5 stars. I was really hoping this movie would be at least fun or have something cool to offer, but it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments I’ve seen in a long time. It’s messy, loud, all over the place, and just never clicked with me at all. I went in with low expectations, and somehow it still let me down. The biggest problem is the story, which is all over the place from the very beginning. It’s supposed to be a big multiverse, timeline-jumping adventure, but it never feels exciting or emotional. It’s more confusing than clever, and even when it tries to be serious or heartfelt, it falls flat. The pacing is weird too—some parts feel like they’re moving way too fast, and others drag on forever with nothing interesting happening. Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen aka The Flash, and I just couldn’t get into their performance. It’s awkward, forced, and kind of hard to watch at times. The jokes don’t land, the emotional moments feel fake, and even the action scenes don’t really help. The whole tone of the movie is off—like it’s not sure if it wants to be funny, dramatic, nostalgic, or just pure chaos. The visual effects in this movie are a huge mess, and not in a fun way. Some of the CGI looks completely unfinished. There are entire scenes where characters look like video game cutscenes from 15 years ago. For a movie that had a big budget and was supposed to be a major superhero event, that’s honestly embarrassing. It took me out of the story over and over again. There are a few cameos and surprises, and while I won’t spoil anything, even those felt cheap. They’re not earned, they don’t add much, and in some cases, they just felt like lazy attempts at getting fans to cheer. Nothing felt meaningful. It’s like the movie was trying to distract us with shiny objects instead of telling a good story. Some characters are just thrown in for no reason, and then they’re either barely used or completely wasted. The movie has so many chances to do something cool with its characters, and it just doesn’t. Even the big emotional arcs don’t land, because the writing never gives you a reason to care. You’re just expected to go along with whatever happens without feeling anything. The music and action sequences should’ve been highlights, but they felt just as thrown together as everything else. Some scenes had potential, but they never got the payoff they needed. It’s like the movie kept trying to build toward something epic and just never got there. I give The Flash 0.5 out of 5 stars because it barely gave me anything to enjoy. It had so much potential to be a cool multiverse story or a fun DC movie, but it ended up being a confusing, badly written, weird-looking mess that felt rushed and empty. Overall The Flash is a huge missed opportunity with weak performances, bad effects, and a story that never finds its footing. I really tried to find something to like, but this one just didn’t work for me at all. Definitely not a movie I’ll be revisiting.
- gibbensSeptember 7, 2025Not even Michael Keaton could save this film. Even if Ezra Miller hadn’t been grooming kids this movie would a flopped. I was so excited to see the 1989 Batman return and they just fumbled that entire thing. This movie doesn’t even feel like it’s part of the DC universe.
- agefamilyAugust 25, 2025Turn off brain and enjoy. Don't worry about the science or how movie relates to the comics
- neuroparadoxJuly 29, 2025"8 stars!" Screams Jon Peters as he starts cumming uncontrollably after edging for nearly 25 years. 🤣😂
- Timmy_BJuly 25, 2025its trash
- JameslikesmoviesJuly 25, 2025The only good thing in this movie is Micheal Keaton, the cgi was terrible in the beginning. I was very excited to see Michael Keaton as Batman back on the screen, but it did not turn out well.
- mickerdooJuly 11, 2025Problem actor aside, a surprisingly decent release from DC. Liked the time element and the Batman iterations.
- Scott SmithJuly 6, 2025I enjoyed this in the theater on the big screen, it looked great. It actually holds up well for rewatching on the big TV screen at home too. Bright, colorful, good action, some fun humor. A better movie than I remembered, and it gets too much hate from critics. It's one of the better DC Universe movies. Ezra isn't my favorite actor, but he's good in this.
