I know everyone on this site hates this movie and I can completely understand why. With that being said I actually found this movie extremely entertaining in it's; so bad it's good category. Good old Stan loves creating superheroes and with his POW Entertainment company, Stan is taking his newer comic creations and bringing them to life via live action or through animation. The plot for this film is as cliché as it gets but if you are as big of a Stan Lee fan as I am, you won't care. Lightspeed lights up the screen with heroics, fighting against the Evil Python. Fans of Lees work will find this movie entertaining because it's so bad it's good.

Lightspeed is about a superhero, not unlike the excellent TV super hero, Flash, but with a lot less "flash". Python, his nemesis has great makeup, terrible lines and not a great super villain, who provides the typical strains of a bad guy gone rampant. Lightspeed is one of the worst movies I have had the displeasure of watching since Alien Apocalypse. Mr. Lee is one person I have the greatest respect for, especially with his Spiderman and Hulk movies showing some excitement, but Lightspeed is a dud at best. I had trouble watching the poor acting, and the actor, Connery, although Sean Connery's son and a good actor, just couldn't make this movie click for me. The plot was typical and droll, and the imagination of the special defects ( I mean effects) are silly and graphically lacking anything close to exciting. I would think Stan Lee could have done more with it and maybe have done a remake of Flash with a bit more flair and improved special effects, a plot, and better acting. All in all, Lightspeed is not worth watching a second time. Stick to Who Wants to be a Superhero, this movie is not even laughable, but leaves one to only groan and remain disappointed.

Okay, I admit the idea probably had good intentions; creating the Marvel version of The Flash has good potential but really, this is just gross. There was a bloodbath within the first 6 minutes and of course this was the family dinner movie. You meet the villain, flashback and learn his story, and then the hero is created. The hero is and interesting sort who makes the normal new superhero mistakes, but his background should prep him some. There were some interesting parts in finding a secret bad guy, but otherwise it was just a bunch of red paint. My brother and I are Stan Lee fans, but this movie definitely was no tribute to his amazing work. We made fun of it whenever we weren't covering our eyes from the gross parts. Unless you like gruesome movies or are looking for an easy diet plan, don't waste your time- just rent Spider-man and enjoy your evening.

This was the worst movie I have seen on sci-fi and they are notorious for producing the worst movies ever.I cannot believe Stan lee put his name on this but after seeing who wants to be a superhero I now know.I will start with the plot. Flash meets Darkman nuff said, nothing original. Casting, our lead hero has a comb over and looks like he's pushing 50 plus. The henchman look like no-budget porn extras. And the effects were ridiculous, even the Flash TV series from 16 years ago had better effects. If this was made in the 1950's that would explain the really bad special effects. The story and dialog you can imagine is par with the rest of the production value. Okay the worst thing was our hero's costume, he goes to a sporting goods store and the salesman goes in the back and gets his suit, that's it. And it looks like a costume from a homemade comic book fan movie. I would say I liked the python character until his comical fight scenes.Watching QVC is more entertaining.
