LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash

2018

Reverse-Flash manipulates the Speed Force to put the Flash into a time loop that forces him to relive the same day over and over again—with progressively disastrous results, including losing his powers and being fired by the Justice League. The Flash must find a way to restore time to its original path and finally apprehend his worst enemy before all is lost for the Flash…and the world!

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Cartoon superhero combat, repeated peril, villain threats, imprisonment, and destruction may frighten younger children, but the LEGO animation, comedy, non-graphic action, and clear heroic resolution make it broadly suitable from about age 7. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising4/5
Why this rating?

The film is explicitly built around LEGO and DC brands, with strong franchise and toy-line merchandising associations, though the plot is not a direct sales lesson.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Very mild insults or name-calling typical of a children's cartoon.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

Brief moments of tension involving time loops and the villain's threats, but nothing intended to be truly frightening.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

No drugs, alcohol, or smoking shown.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Frequent stylized superhero chases, fights, power attacks, destruction, and arrests; the LEGO presentation keeps action largely comic and non-realistic.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience3/5
Why this rating?

Flash faces repeated failure, loss of powers, confinement, and a powerful enemy, then completes trials and risks himself to save others.

Creativity & curiosity4/5
Why this rating?

Time travel, LEGO-world invention, imaginative powers, Speed Force trials, miniature science, and improvised vehicles strongly encourage imaginative problem-solving.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

Includes a wide variety of established DC characters from different backgrounds.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Incidental lessons on problem-solving and perseverance.

Kindness & empathy2/5
Why this rating?

Characters eventually help one another overcome their flaws and the villain's schemes.

Positive messages3/5
Why this rating?

It emphasizes responsibility, humility, teamwork, learning from mistakes, perseverance, and using power for others rather than fame.

Good role models3/5
Why this rating?

Flash is impulsive and makes mistakes but accepts guidance and works to repair the damage; the League models cooperation and service.
