I am honestly not certain if I have ever seen a movie worse than this in my entire life - ever. It almost physically hurt my brain to force it to continue to the end. I imagine the only way Stan had anything to do with this is that somebody said to him, "Hey, Stan. Can we make a movie out of this vague character idea? You just have to pay for it", and Stan replied, "Oh, yeah, that looks okay. Sure, do it", and never had anything else to do with it. The way he gets the powers is awful. The way he gets his suit is awful. The way he uses his powers is awful. The acting, all around, is awful. Good grief, man, even the soundtrack is awful. The whole thing is just...yeah, awful. Even remembering having watched this film a few years ago is bringing on some PTS. If you have already watched this, I am so, so sorry.

The good news is that the Python makeup is quite good.Shame that they used up the entire budget on it. If you've been paying attention you will now know:1. Leading man projects middle age; 2. Lee Majors projects old age; 3. SFX - rubbish; 4. Hero's super costume - truly rubbish; 5. Plot - risible; 6. Dialogue - execrable; 7. Heroine - having been extracted from trouble immediately puts herself right back in it; 8. Acting - at best no better than average. At worst (Python guy) - absolutely awful. And I COULD do better, and I'm no actor; 9. Python's death scene - huh? What happened?I suppose Nicole Eggert is moderately decorative.Stan is going to wear out his not inconsiderable goodwill in the comics community if he continue to put his name to drivel like this.

Something got lost in the translation... From what I was able to gather from the series WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO?, the contest winner was supposed to star- or at least appear- in a telemovie based on his (or her) character. The rightful winner of this "competition" (who called himself Major Victory, and who seemed to understand the super-hero concept better than anyone involved in this debacle) wasn't going to be allowed to win, however: Stan Lee, bending over backward for his choice, Fat Momma, saw to that. In the end, his disregard for his own rules resulted in "Lightspeed" "winning" the "contest." Maybe I blinked at the wrong moment, but I don't recall seeing the guy who created the title character anywhere in the movie. Which isn't a bad thing, in this case, but denying a co-creator his fair share of the split isn't exactly kosher, now... is it? (As the foregoing clearly demonstrates, I'm more than capable of putting my foot in my mouth. The winner of the telecontest was called FEEDBACK, not LIGHTSPEED. I goofed. Unfortunately, I don't really care one way or the other. My half-baked review/comment stands. So there.)

Well the box looked good, should be a good movie right?This movie is such a knockoff of The Flash and it is also surprisingly violent.This is NOT a movie to show children. It is very bloody.The acting is rather boring except for a few actors.I was also disappointed in the Lightspeed suit. It was basically a ski speed suit with white markings on it. Blah.Nothing more than a SciFi made for TV movie.Skip it.I'd say rent or buy the old Flash TV series... it's a lot better!
