5 Tom Cruise

“Tom Cruise reviews The Flash movie” is a surprising sentence, but it happened. According to THR, Cruise got interested in The Flash after a meeting with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and asked if he could watch the film. As a result, a private The Flash screening was reportedly hosted at Tom Cruise’s home. According to the report, Cruise loved The Flash and reached out to director Andy Muschietti to share his thoughts on the movie. Tom Cruise reportedly described The Flash as “the kind of movie we need now,” noting that it has “everything you want in a movie.”

As a big advocate of the movie-going experience, it makes sense for Tom Cruise to be interested in a film like The Flash. At a time when the global box office is still trying to return to a sense of normality following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, movie theaters need big tentpole films whose scale asks for audiences to see them on the big screen. Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick succeeded on that matter and went on to gross $1.49 billion at the box office, essentially “bringing movies back.” Whether The Flash movie can achieve something similar remains to be seen, but Cruise’s praise for the film is very promising.

4 Stephen King

Stephen King often reviews all sorts of works of fiction on his social media, including novels, movies, and TV shows of all genres. However, King rarely reviews or even comments on any superhero movies, which makes his praise for The Flash even bigger news. On May 17, Stephen King reviewed The Flash movie on his Twitter , revealing that he got an advanced screening. King noted that he usually does not “care a lot about superhero movies,” but that The Flash “is special.” According to Stephen King, The Flash is “heartfelt, funny, and eye-popping.” DC Studios’ co-CEO James Gunn also replied to King’s post, celebrating the writer’s review of the film.

3 Jaden Smith

Jaden Smith’s review of The Flash on Twitter was short, but it might have been the most hype-worthy comment on the DC movie. “The Flash just changed my life,” wrote the actor and musician on his Twitter page. Jaden Smith also praised The Flash on his Instagram, describing the movie as “amazing” and pointing out that the DC film left him lost for words. Jaden Smith is a comic book fan, which makes his review of The Flash sound even more promising.

2 Terry Crews

Terry Crews is the latest actor to review The Flash movie. On his Instagram page, Crews revealed that he and his family watched The Flash at an early screening and that the film left all of them with a smile on their faces. According to Terry Crews, who is a comic book fan and was part of Deadpool 2’s X-Force, audiences “have to go see” The Flash.

1 Edgar Wright

Director Edgar Wright has also watched and reviewed The Flash movie. Wright, whose name is often associated with superhero projects but who never directed a DC or Marvel movie, watched The Flash along with his long-time collaborator Paul Machliss, who edited The Flash movie.

Machliss had previously worked with Edgar Wright in Spaced, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The World's End, Baby Driver, and Last Night in Soho. According to Wright, The Flash is “a total blast” and will live “a big grin on audiences' faces.” Wright also congratulated The Flash director Andy Muschietti and producer Barbara Muschietti, promising that he will go watch it again. Lastly, Edgar Wright urged audiences to avoid spoilers, hinting at a "lot of fun surprises" that are not in any of The Flash trailers.
