Despite endorsements from the likes of James Gunn and Stephen King touting it as the be-all and end-all of comic book movies ahead of its premiere, many DC fans feel that "The Flash" doesn't make it anywhere close to that level. Suffice to say, they weren't afraid to dive into why.
"The Flash is a soul-sucking vortex of wasted potential and creative bankruptcy," wrote Twitter user @Yeticast, calling Ezra Miller's work in the feature especially flat. @lanmind_ wasn't impressed by the film either, claiming that not even the copious Easter eggs could save the poor dialogue, story, and CGI. "Got me leaving the theatre in a flash 4/10," joked @GOJIR454UR, while @Vortex___shark_ struggled to find any positive qualities about the movie — one they referred to as "pretty mediocre at times and really bad most of the other times."
Even though the title of the movie is "The Flash," @matthewjmartin_ feels the only good part of the movie is Michael Keaton's Batman. Speaking of supporting characters, @SnyderQueen_, who also didn't care for the CGI and overall narrative, believes the feature doesn't do nearly enough with Supergirl. @gothamfreak_ left the theater more confused than anything else due to how some elements were handled. Overall, "The Flash" leaves them uncertain about director Andy Muschietti's extended stay in the DC Universe.
