Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash Review


DC fans another movie is here and as you can guess by the title the most popular character...........................of The CW world has his own movie so here is my review of Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash so here we go.

The plot of the movie is The Flash looses his powers thanks to Reverse Flash so me must find a way to get them back and stop Reverse Flash. To say the plot is pretty thin is an understatement but in this case I do get why it's a thin plot because this movie is meant for little kids but at the same time I do wish they had put the more focus on the plot of the movie.


The film stars James Arnold Taylor , Kate Micucci , Troy Baker , Nolan North , Grey Griffin , King Ezekiel , Dwight Schultz , Tom Kenny and Eric Bauza. The voice cast do a decent job in the movie alot of them did voice these characters in previous films such as Nolan North who has played Lego Superman before so it's no wonder that the actors do a decent job and alot of the actors have played the same characters in previous DC animated media.

What I thought was great about this film was the fact that a few lesser known villains do pop up in this movie for example you see who I think is The Trickster I won't reveal what he does since it's a spoiler but it's glad to see lesser known villains getting some love from Warner Bros.


As you can most likely tell by the above pictures this film like all of the other direct to DVD Lego movies the film uses CGI animation and the animation I thought was pretty decent for a straight to DVD movie that's the one thing I can't fault these direct to DVD Lego movies the animation is always decent at least but I do wish they would have taken more advantage with the characters being Lego.

As someone who is a bit of a Flash fan I didn't like how he was portrayed in this movie they portray him as someone who sleeps in a lot and always arrives late and to me that's not The Flash if anything he's the first one on the scene the lazy guy really is Plastic Man who is also in this movie for some unknown reason.


Unlike the previous direct to DVD Lego movies there's not that much humor in this film or at least humor that I thought was funny there's alot of "jokes"that just didn't sit well with me like all of he early Flash scenes to me went against the character like I've said before but at the same time the stuff with a certain villain at the start did work were actually funny.

One thing which I think most fans will agree with is the plan Reverse Flash has makes no sense at all since if he stopped The Flash from becoming The Flash it would wipe him out and thus preventing him from going back in time and stopping The Flash in the first place so surely it would have made more sense for him to want to help The Flash and then get rid of him in the future.


Speaking of plans that don't make sense Batman has a plan that gets revealed in the third act and it makes absolute no sense what so ever i'm not going to spoil it in case you guys want to see the movie but even for Batman it makes no sense and with Batman you can pretty much get away with anything and it would make sense.


Overall this is a solid kids movie and I have to stress that this film is for kids so if you want to get the movie it's out now digitally or you can get it on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 13th I give this movie a 6 out of 10.
