DCU Movies

I'd say Supergirl has been the biggest marketing of the movie.

Well, both of them...but mainly Keaton's Batman.

As pumped as I am for this movie and for Keaton's Batman and Supergirl (not to mention one final bow from Batfleck), I can't help but wonder if it'd have been better for the first-ever Flash solo film to be more centered on the Flash and his mythos, rather than being essentially an alternate reality DCEU story.

Saw some reactions from those who watched the final version of The Flash and will drop their reviews later today. They seem mostly positive, enjoying the movie being a big love letter to the past and present DCU, but with criticisms for the spotty CGI and chaotic 3rd act. The CinemaCon cut's ending seems it was liked more than the full ending spoilers:

that reveal who the different Bruce Wayne is (George Clooney) instead of cutting abruptly to leave his identity to people's imagination

end of spoilers:

"Finally got to watch the finished cut of #TheFlash & I still think it’s an AMAZING DC comic book movie. My only complaints still fall w/ the CGI, rushed final villain, & now the ending. It’s a funny gag but slightly odd. & a pretty useless post credit. That aside I adore the film

Oh hell yea! Flash is still one of the great CBM of this year it’s just also a competitive year with Spider Verse & GOTGV3"

"The CinemaCon ending was better."

"#TheFlash/#TheFlashMovie is an all-around good time at the movies. Colossal in scale and action. The third act is shaky and it loses itself in the chaos, but it’s a solid crowdpleaser that will garner big reactions from audiences (it did with mine)."

Main reason for me to see it....

Is GoTG 3 the only recent Superhero movie not to get flack for CG? That I've seen at least.

The Flash debuts with a 76% on rotten tomatoes. So much for it being the best thing since sliced bread.

I think this whole ''the best superhero movie ever'' nonsense actually made more damage for this movie, because by DCEU standards, those are actually pretty good numbers. Yeah, it's messy, but considering, that this movie literally went through development hell, it could be worse. Way worse.
Audience is gonna like it, I guess.

I think critics are gonna be anxious to tear this movie apart because they’ve been told how great it’s going to be for so long.

There are a few critics, who basically just write about Miller crimes instead of the movie, lol.
Yeah, he's gone. No chance in hell he stays.

72 now, probably will settle around 65-75 unless the score just absolutely tanks. No way The Flash makes a billion now, but it might make a small profit. Miller is gone though, seeing all the critics who keep blasting them for what they did just shows that they’re a PR liability.

The statement "Well, it's not the best superhero movie ever!" is so unbelievably bad faith.

[Serpico Jones]

Now down to 72% on rotten tomatoes. Looks like Gunn and David Zaslav were full of ****.

You understand that's a good score, right?

Not for one of the alleged best comic book movies ever made.

Rotten Tomatoes isn't a precise barometer of quality.

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but it does seem like top critics are kind of in their "anti-superhero movie" phase.

I think Spider-verse kind of got away with it because it's animated.

The critics that I trust say that Flash is very good.
