Funny, action-packed and effectively touching, anyone familiar with the DC stable of heroes should run, not walk, to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Popular Australian website News.com.au commends \u201cThe Flash\u201d too, calling it \u201ca movie that surprisingly balances the outsized action thrills with emotional heft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Locally, Manila Bulletin raves, \u201c\u2018The Flash\u2019 is a worthy entry to the DC pantheon. That it took so many years for Flash to finally get his own starring film may be a mind-puzzler to most observers, plus the fact that in itself, this film is four years in the making. But now that it\u2019s here, it\u2019s good to be able to say that it was well worth the wait!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rappler summed it up well, saying of the film, \u201cAll in all, for all the challenges in its way, it\u2019s a fun, sometimes silly, sometimes effectively dramatic and affecting movie that tells a good, if all too familiar story, very well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>About \u201cThe Flash\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Worlds collide in \u201cThe Flash\u201d when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian\u2026 albeit not the one he\u2019s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry\u2019s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Flash\u201d ensemble also includes rising star Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon (\u201cBullet Train,\u201d \u201cBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice\u201d), Ron Livingston (\u201cLoudermilk,\u201d \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d), Maribel Verd\u00fa (\u201cElite,\u201d \u201cY tu mam\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n\u201d), Kiersey Clemons (\u201cZack Snyder\u2019s Justice League,\u201d \u201cSweetheart\u201d), Antje Traue (\u201cKing of Ravens,\u201d \u201cMan of Steel\u201d) and Michael Keaton (\u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming,\u201d \u201cBatman\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Flash\u201d is directed by Andy Muschietti, and produced by Barbara Muschietti (the \u201cIT\u201d films, \u201cMama\u201d) and Michael Disco (\u201cRampage,\u201d \u201cSan Andreas\u201d).
