Part 6/8:
On the critical front, The Flash has received mixed reviews. While it’s not widely regarded as the worst film in the DC catalog, it’s seen as “mid,” neither excelling nor outright failing. Many fans and critics felt the film was overhyped and didn’t deliver the transformative experience many anticipated despite the star power and cameos.
The marketing and early hype focused heavily on the spectacle, particularly Michael Keaton’s return as Batman, and the film’s potential to reset the franchise. However, poor word of mouth and audience fatigue seem to have dampened enthusiasm, leading to declining ticket sales.
