Catch sneak previews of The Flash nationwide on June 13 - earlier than wide release!

It’s barely a week before “The Flash” opens in cinemas! Want to watch it ahead of everyone else? Catch a sneak preview in select cinemas nationwide on the evening of June 13, one day before the film opens wide across the Philippines. Hurry and book your tickets!

If you need more convincing, here are five top reasons why The Flash movie is a must-see. Watch the trailer here:

Electrifying action

There’s plenty of action happening at breakneck speed in “The Flash.” With two speedsters running around to save the world, we can’t expect anything less. Add to that more than one Batman, one very awesome Supergirl, and an alien baddie with lots of evil lackeys intent on annihilating our world – from start to finish, there’s never a dull moment.

Trippy time travel

When Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time to save his mom, he inadvertently alters the future and turns it into one where the villainous General Zod has returned threatening Earth’s annihilation, and there are practically no superheroes to turn to. Barry must then rely on his younger self (“This is mad trippy…” says college-age Barry after seeing future Barry) and a retired Batman to help him make things right.

Classic Batman

“It’s like bringing back a classic,” says “The Flash” director Andy Muschietti of bringing back Michael Keaton as Batman. Keaton played the first Batman in Warner Bros. Batman film franchise, in the two films directed by Tim Burton, in 1989 and 1992. Fans are very excited to see Keaton as the superhero again, but they’re not the only ones hit with nostalgia. “The first time Michael Keaton came to see the Batcave, he was so shocked that he actually filmed it to send to Tim Burton,” shares producer Barbara Muschietti.

The humor

Funny lines, comical meet-cutes, easy chemistry between the cast – this movie will make you laugh… and laugh some more.

Heart… lots of it

But despite all the funny moments, “The Flash” has a very deep emotional core. Take it from best- selling author Stephen King, who Tweeted this reaction after an early screening of the film: “As a rule I don’t care a lot for superhero movies, but this one is special. It’s heartfelt, funny, and eye-popping. I loved it.”

The ticketing site for “The Flash” is already live at https://www.theflashmovie.com.ph/. Don’t forget to calendar your “The Flash” movie date!

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film, “The Flash.” It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters across the Philippines beginning June 14, 2023. Sneak previews are available on June 13.

BLACK ADAM movie review

DC's new character on screen Black Adam is paving the way for a new and exciting universe for new heroes and villains. Maybe Warner Bros. already realized the formula to get a good origin story for this new character.

While we are focused on Dwayne Johnson in the lead character, his story was well established in the whole movie and giving us reasonable flashbacks why he came to be. We are introduced with his magical beginnings and how he got his powers.

On the other hand, we wish there are also some back stories for our Justice Society. Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo). The team up works but maybe their potential could been showcased more and highlighted. Who knows, maybe we'll get spin offs of their characters.

Atom Smasher

Cyclone

Dr Fate

Hawkman

Black Adam injects dark humor, full of action and interesting story. It builds up an exciting element at the end that you don't want to miss.

Black Adam is now showing in cinemas from Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics.

THE BATMAN movie review

The Batman movie will be out on March 2 so you have to get your tickets in advance. While we have a new caped crusader in Robert Pattinson, right now we have to applaud him in his performance as Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight.

Slowly parting from the "animated" presentation in the comics, The Batman gets the villains into darker and less kid-friendly costumes but still they are distinguished as Batman's enemies. The villains were established not just as Batman's enemies but of society that were corrupted of their freedom and resources. The movie strongly talks about each character's struggles which gave them their reasons to disturb Gotham. 

And then I did not realize that this is Colin Farrell. Great job on the make up!

The Batman also revealed a different Robert Pattinson. This opened up a new element and something that I've never seen before. So deep and serious but really sends the feels. Somehow you may be able to connect to his character than the previous ones. WB also made some deliberate tweaks on the character that worked well. No fanfares on his costume and Batmobile and you're really in for the story.

The Batman opens in theaters, March 2. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures PH. Follow #TheBatman on social media for more updates.
