Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash

This movie was a blast. I loved seeing my favorite super hero in LEGO form, which were my favorite toys growing up. I absolutely love how the movie tries to be somewhat dramatic and complex, while still obviously being directed towards kids. This movie is likely to show really young kids why all of us fell in in love with this character to begin with. Only reason I am giving It a 7 is because I obviously can't take It very seriously as It is for kids. Also, why does Dr. Fate sound EXACTLY like the principle from American Dad?

With the LEGO movies there is a definite divide in quality between those they release in cinemas and those that go direct to DVD. While this makes sense it is definitely something to be aware of when watching this movie. While the cinematic releases look to satirise and question, the B-team LEGO movies are much more straightforward affairs.

There is definitely still humour and a bunch of references to DC characters and storylines, but most are pretty basic and the humour is much more child orientated. Think of this as the difference between watching a Pixar movie and one from Dreamworks. Both mostly look the same and are at least in part marketed towards kids, but one actually has some substance behind it and can be enjoyed by adults as well, and the other is pretty much kind of fun at best.

Overall there is nothing wrong with this movie, especially if you are looking for something to entertain the kids on a rainy day, just don't expect anything more from it than that.

This film has Flash as the protagonist and this film insists on exhibiting him as the buffoon of the group. Apart from this, the rest of the superheroes demonstrate their incapacity against much less powerful villains, which raises doubts about their individual and group efficacy. Flash faces a space-time challenge and will finally be able to overcome his great problems and make it easier for good to triumph. The film manages to suggest science as something attractive to children and also facilitates a series of humorous and pleasant moments that make this film recommended for the whole family.

Easily my favourite Lego DC DtV movie (I've seen them all). The makers are doing a grand job of expanding their universe; as well as the usual Lego Justice League, here we get Atom, Firestorm, Zatanna, Dr Fate, Plastic Man, and B'dg. Plus Reverse Flash, Krypto, and Ace the Bat-hound!

Incidentally, it's interesting that despite featuring the League prominently, this is only the second Lego DC DtV to have been released under a single character's name (the first was Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite back in 2013); the rest have all been released as JL movies (even the Flashpoint DCUAOM was released as Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox). That's possibly a result of the poor reception of the live-action JL and a desire to get audiences more used to the Flash as a solo brand ready for his live-action solo movie.

Anyhow, as usual there are various nods to DC lore tucked away for the finding. Much as I love the 'serious', darker toned DC comics/films, it's perfectly possible to enjoy these movies too. If you like the Lego DC movies I wholeheartedly recommend this one. Easily 9/10

Sure its really good but its not like a AMAZING FILM BEST FILM EVER movie. But I do for sure recommend this.
