Maybe the skeptics have a point when it comes to the early reactions to The Flash. After the DC blockbuster had an early screening at this year’s CinemaCon, attendees praised it as “the best superhero film” they’ve seen in ages. However, what was shown in Las Vegas yesterday afternoon may not be the version that everyone will see in theaters.

But according to ComicBook.com, one piece of information that was left out from the fan reactions online was that the film “was not completely finished.”
This sentiment was shared by Warner Bros’ Domestic Distribution Chief Jeff Goldstein and International Distribution Chief, Andrew Cripps who told audiences that the film they’re about to see is still a “work in progress” and “not the final cut, but close enough.”
So what was missing from the CinemaCon preview? It was reported that the “close enough final cut” ran for 150 minutes and didn’t include any credits. As for post-credit content, that wasn’t included either. There were also some reports on social media that some of the CGI wasn’t completely polished at the time of the early screening.

Regardless of the missing details and post-film content, early viewers gave The Flash so much praise, claiming that it’s “the best superhero film” they’ve seen in years. At the same time, despite the controversies, audiences also gave praise to Ezra Miller for their performance playing the two “Barrys.” However, skeptics advised moviegoers to take these praises with a grain of salt, considering the same comments have often been said of previous superhero titles.
If you’re keen to view the final product, The Flash will be dashing its way to theaters on June 15, 2023.
