Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: This made-for-TV pilot of the short-lived series is a decent screen interpretation of the DC Comics hero. While investigating a case involving a dangerous street gang called the Dark Riders, crime lab specialist Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) is involved in a freak accident. One stormy night, lightning strikes his lab, electrifying his body and shattering chemical-filled beakers all over him. The ensuing reaction radically alters his physiology, bestowing him with the power to race at superhuman speed. Baffled by his transmutation, he follows the guidance of scientist Christina McGee (Amanda Pays) to comprehend his new physiology. After the nihilistic Riders murder one of his family members, Allen utilizes his new power to seek vengeance against them. Even though this TV movie has many of the exaggerated comic-book scenarios and average acting of other superhero films, The Flash is fun because of Shipp's charming, vulnerable protagonist and Pays's feisty, brilliant scientist. The effects are pretty good, too. --Bryan Reesman

Even though this film had a B-quality feel to it throughout, I liked it. For a lighthearted story about a cartoon character, maybe this is the way it ought to be done, at least in spirit. All this dark stuff with blood, guts and tons of profanity isn't the way most of us look at cartoon heroes.

I remember when this show first came out. I didnt think it would be any good, but i was wrong. The pilot kinda starts out a little slow but it builds up really well, and lets u get to know the caracters. The main thing is the costume...its a really good looking costume and not one of them cheap costumes that doesnt even look like the carachter. The theme music is really good as well, Danny Elfman does the theme and is really good. This show should have gone on longer than just one season. Thanks ... Read More

The Flash is one of my favorite heroes. The movie is a fantastic adaptation of the comics. John Wesley Shipp plays the Flash perfectly. The movie has a great story. And who can forget the amazing theme song by Danny Elfman? If you are a fan of the Flash, superheroes in general, or even just action, there is no reason why you shouldn't see this great movie. So what are you waiting for? BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
