Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Smoreni Zmaj At the beginning of the second season, new Flash started to bore me. I don't want to give up on it just yet, but I decided to pause for a while by going back to a show of my childhood, "The Flash" from 1990. When I was in elementary school I thought this was awesome. Now... The show is outdated in every aspect, but although the story is much simpler than in the new one and effects are more primitive, old Flash has that nostalgic charm of '80s B production and comic-book atmosphere. Although the new one is objectively better, the old Flash I love much more.7/10Plots are completely different. Beside a few names and the fact that Flash is a speedster who fights crime, they have almost nothing in common. The way Barry becomes Flash is completely different and "same" characters have completely different characteristics and mutual relationships. While in the new Flash Iris is a black journalist and his adopted sister in whom he is secretly in love, in old one she is a white artist and the girl who leaves him. The new Flash is based on his father being convicted for the murder of his mother and Flash trying to find a way to free him and punish the real murderer, but in the old Flash both of his parents are alive and well and he has cop brother who dies. From base to details these two shows are completely different. I have no idea which version is adapted from the comics, if any, but in my opinion, the plot of the new Flash is too complicated and in combination with modern technology, effects and production it totally lacks the soul of comic-book.7,5/10As I watch more episodes I like this more and more and I have less and less will to ever finish the new version. I just realized that the same actor plays Flash in the old and Flashes father in the new show. Beside John Wesley Shipp, at least four other actors appear in both shows. Amanda Pays, who plays the leading female role in the old Flash, role divided to Wells and Caitlin in the new version, 25 years later reappears in the same role. Alex Desert, whose role in the old version is the closest thing to Cisco from the new one, also reprises his role in a few episodes of the new Flash, same as Vito D'Ambrosio as Mayor Bellows and Luke Skywalker as Trickster. In the old version Barry became Flash after he was hit by lightning, so he's the only meta-human there, while villains are mad, genius and backed up with some serious technology, but still just humans. Bunch of meta-humans makes the new Flash nothing special and the new show seems like a better produced version of "Power Rangers", full of monsters and empty action. Stupid and boring. The old show is more down to earth, more realistic, with more convincing situations and relationships and a decent dose of healthy humor. It has a much better atmosphere and I have to improve its rating once again.8/10I finished the first and only season and I'm sorry that there's no more. But it may be a good thing, because they would probably spoil it in time. I collected impressions and, although it is very far from being one of the best shows of all time (maybe strong seven), in my opinion, this is the perfect example of how comic-book adaptation should look like. Shoulder to shoulder with Batman from the previous year, within the genre I rate it a perfect ten.8,5/10

RealLiveClaude Those who know about the reboot of the actual TV show with Grant Gustin should take it lightly. The 1990 version is a bit campy, very art-deco vs. modern and it is less about sentiments, more about commitment.Some of the classic Flash villains are represented here. John Wesley Shipp does do a great personification of Barry Allen. However, there is few to compare to what is today, as Star Labs is represented here as a simple laboratory compared to the "stadium" structure of today...Good note here: Mark Hamill makes us forget his Star Wars heroics by portraying the wacky Trickster. And Amanda Pays is so cute, even as a bad girl in one of the episodes.However, enjoy it for its camp humour.The Flash still rules in Central City !

trekmann01 Recently I have been watching this series on DVD. Reason being that back in the day when it was being aired I didn't have cable. And trying to watch it via broadcast airwaves was next to impossible. That being said I was really excited when it became available on DVD. Upon viewing this series although good, it seems for lack of a better word, a bit campy. With almost every scene having some kind of artwork in the back ground and the odd use of old style cars mixed in with modern cars of the day. It kind of didn't set an accurate time line for the series. However seeing it now with actors and actresses I recognize makes me go "Wow, that's so and so". The suit was awesomely done and the acting was A1. For being filmed in the 90's it's too bad that it wasn't given the chance of at least one more season. So I'm looking forward to seeing a movie on this super hero character adding to the long list of other super hero movies. Hopefully it will be here in a Flash.

rudge49 I second the comments about this program being the victim of erratic scheduling, moving it from time slot to time slot made it hard to record in that long ago pre-TIVO era. Visually superb, though since "my" Flash is Barry Allen I had a hard time accepting dark haired John Wesley Shipp in the role. Also I don't recall Iris being English. Plus the inconsistency of the time settings was a little confusing-seeing 1950s vehicles was fun for this 58 year old but I could see it would be confusing for younger viewers. And I suppose giving the hero little quirks-his superspeed gives him "the hungries", I recall one scene where he swipes a whole turkey from a buffet-at superspeed of course. DC heroes in the 1960s tended to pretty straight laced and square compared to the Marvel characters, though I last read DC comics in 1968 or so and am not familiar with the changes since then. And modern CGI effects could do a fine job of portraying the Flash's compressed costume coming out of his ring when it's time for him to change. Summary: Could have been better but still worth watching.
