For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Fantastic!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A laboratory accident endows a police scientist with the ability to move at superhuman speed which he uses to battle a menacing gang as a superhero. The Classic Pilot of CBS short lived 'The Flash' starring John Wesley Shipp was released on September 20th, 1990 and it's alot more different than both the CW Version but also the comic book version as a whole. The show is a bit dark but also 90's fun, the effects are superb and the perfomances are truly really good especially by Shipp as Barry Allen A.k.a The Flash please check it out. (10/10)

The Flash is a great movie! I liked it very much! John Wesley Shipp was the perfect choice to play the hero that is known as the Flash! He reminded Me a lot of Bruce Campbell! Amanda Pays, Michael Nader, and Alex Désert were good! The additions of Tim Thomerson and M. Emmet Walsh was cool and they acted very well! Richard Belzer had a short part. The movie has tons of action and the film is realistic! The music by Shirley Walker and Danny Elfman was awesome! If you like Super hero movies such as Batman, The X-Men, Spider-Man, and The Hulk then don't miss the Flash!

I agree with most of the comments here. This is one of the best comic book superhero films ever! Especially the pilot film, it ranks right up there with Spider-man, Batman, Darkman and Superman! It has fabulous effects, especially for a TV movie; good acting; a good storyline; funny scenes and action scenes; fine production values and above all an excellent score and theme song by the great Danny Elfman...and I think possibly his best. I also agree that CBS did not give it a chance to develop a following, which I'm sure it would have. If it had a weakness, it was the villains, who could not compare with Dr. Ock, Green Goblin, The Joker, The Penguin or Lex Luthor. The Flash is now available on DVD. Don't miss it!

For the love of Christ, you have to see this movie. Forget Batman, Superman or The Crow, The Flash has to be the daddy of them all. Being a spin-off from one of the finest TV series in the history of mankind, this has the budget of a hobo's caviar account, and is all the more lovable for it. Check out those high-speed shots simulating the Flash's P.O.V. while running. Pure class.Director Robert Iscove went on to direct She's All That. Damn, that's a long way down.
