Wonderful character development!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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)

There can be no doubt of the hilariously silly dialogue in this show but it has to be one of the strongest reason to watch it. Jonathan Brandis appearance(which isn't noted on the credits on the shows page here) in "childs play" is amazing when set against the drug induced insanity of the villain. Further more, the costume was excellent. Do you ever notice how in every Batman movie they HAVE to change the costume and wonder why it has become so over complicated to produce something that has been more or less constant since before most of the production company was born and think "Why?" The simplicity of The Flash costume makes it just that little bit more realistic. I know, comic books and realistic, but thats has been a problem. There is an adjective for this and it is call "OVER-working" The key is to know what you like. If you're one of those people who, when asked what kind of music you like say, "Well, um, I like a bit of everything, I don't like to listen to any one band or person", then you probably won't care about this much because you are too indecisive and think that its a pop quiz and you can only give one answer. If on the other hand you have a list of bands or groups, or just one, or even if you change your preference and say "At the minute I'm listening to...." then give it a go.

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!

You have to approach this series as a hybrid of the superhero genre previously experienced in both the Batman television series of the 1960's combined with the look of the Batman movies of the 1980's. It's funny. It's full of in-jokes, and just ridiculous.
