Long-awaited and delayed DC movie The Flash has screened at CinemaCon – and the first reactions are very positive. Some of the lucky critics and journalists who've already seen the film have branded it one of the best superhero movies ever, while 𝄹others have urged people to bel🍸ieve the hype.

Total Film editor-in-chief : "Despite my worry it might be pointless in the wake of Gunn’s announcements it’s a fitting end to this DC chapter. If you wanna g𒁃et nuts, you’ll get nuts."

. "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."

: "This is truly one of the best superhero movies ever. Believe the hype. Oh my god". While Slash Film's : "#TheFlash is pretty great, and it makes sense to me now why DC didn't shelve this one. Michael Keaton is ... chef's kiss. I didn't realize how much I needed Keaton's Batman in my life again. Some realꦏly emotional moments here. Sasha Calle is awesome – I want to see more of her!"

wrote: "#TheFlash is fantastic. I know Eಌzra Miller has made a lot of mistakes but they are soooooo good in this movie. Loved Keaton, the action, humor an꧑d emotion. Andy Muschietti has crafted something special. Thumbs way up."

"Damn, #TheFlash is good," added . "It’s super inventive both visually and in concept. The dynamic of two Barry Allen’s is crazy well done. Emotion🍌s hit me intensely hard, solid surprises, and it got me wanting to watch again and really eager to see how they follow it. Well done."
