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.

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 saw this on tape and I'm hoping the DVD, if I ever get it, has improved sound. The Flash, who is here-and-there "in a flash," needs good surround sound to go with the special- effects, and the tape didn't have it. I could more easily put up with the amateurish dialog.The movie has charm, however, because of the added comedy mixed in with the action, and the likable hero, portrayed by John Wesley Shipp. I liked the female lead, too, played by the pretty Amanda Pays.This is nothing spectacular, by any means, but a fun, harmless and entertaining hour-and-a- half.

I have not seen this movie but i agree the Flash is one of the greatest superheros of all time. His costume is one of the best designs there is and the little lightning bolts on his head are awesome!!!, his ability to run fast is incredible. Marvel has done well with themselves creating this character. I don't see why the Flash is not that popular like Spider-Man, Superman or Batman i think he should have been up the top with the other superheros. But it is good that he is in the justice league team with Captain America, Batman, Superman, Wonder Women and many other great superheros. As i said before Marvel has done well with itself.

D.C. Comics and Warner Bros. were on a roll after Batman made it to movie screens. So, why not bring another of their colorful comic book cadre to the screen, on a smaller and safer scale? The Flash premiered to lukewarm reaction, probably because the general public did not have any idea who the hell he was. Great special effects and a very imposing red suit did not equal out the poor stories, trite dialogue, and substandard acting. We can also chalk The Flash's demise to the fact that the main character, Barry Allen, had been dead in the comics for five years, and a new Flash, Wally West, Allen's nephew had been operating ever since. Too many things doomed the Flash from the beginning, and we never even got to see Adrian Zoom, the Reverse-Flash!
