Review Roundup For The Flash

gamespot.com:

The Flash has faced scrutiny for over a year due to a variety of legal incidents involving star Ezra Miller. The actor was arrested twice in Hawaii on harassment and assault charges, pled guilty to trespassing after being charged with burglary, and has been accused of grooming a minor, among other incidents. The minor in question, now an adult, disputes the grooming allegation. In August 2022, Miller announced they were seeking treatment for «complex mental health issues.» Later, in January, The Flash studio Warner Bros. announced that they were standing behind the actor.

After years of delays and controversies surrounding star Ezra Miller, The Flash film will finally run onto the silver screen June 16. The DC superhero movie adapts the classic Flashpoint storyline and even brings back Michael Keaton's Batman--as well as Ben Affleck's--for a time-traveling tale that's receiving mixed reviews.

The Flash currently has a 60 metascore based on 28 reviews on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. The first half of The Flash seems to be the high point for the film, according to reviewers. The narrative is at the forefront along with Miller's Barry Allen. But critics then knocked the final climax battle for a bland CG battle with General Zod, which is teased in trailers for the movie.

GameSpot's The Flash review touches on this, with Phil Owen writing, «For almost two hours, I really enjoyed The Flash. It's a fun romp through the past with big Back to the Future Part 2 vibes, not taking itself seriously enough to be obnoxious. …That all changes, however, when we hit that CGI money shot from the trailer, with two different Flashes flanking Supergirl as they slide into battle
