For starters,if I had to venture a guess, I think Stan Lee only created the characters, which are pretty good, in general. The director, while highly competent, can't save this terrible screenplay. For Pete's sake, this was written by the same scribe as Jack-O. Ecch! How do these guys get into the business? Anyway, this entire film would have been much better if the Python character became the superhero (He could have fought crime by night and then shed his snake skin the next day). A highly forgettable hero, poor sound, lame fights, a story line that depicts events that should have happened at night going on in the day, and the lack of any discernible city-scape work are too much for solid actors and nice make up to overcome. Better luck next time, folks.

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.

This is The Great Stan Lee we're talking about so I hesitate to say anything bad. Nonetheless Mr. Lee has decided to do trash for cash. First of all the music throughout the whole film is low grade 80's movie synthesizer. This music is so bad and so distracting it makes your eyes roll. It also sets a tone of b-movie cheapness. Honestly I do love cheapo b-films but you have to be able to laugh at it. Lightspeed tries so hard to take itself seriously but has nothing good or fun to offer. The script is horrible, the acting is a joke and the characters are preposterous. Worst of all, ALL the superhero elements are derived from other comic book characters to create an uninteresting amalgam with no unique abilities. Again, I love Stan Lee and comics and b- movies, but this is one to avoid.

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.

43 year old Jason Connery plays a "ghost squad" agent who must fight his old friend Daniel Goddard who has turned into a snake man named Python. Connery gets trapped in a collapsing building and then irradiated at the hospital which gives him the power to run in fast forward. His costume is a bunch of crap from a sporting goods store. Python has an awesome makeup job and a plot to destroy the government for non-specific revenge, but he's equally silly.

The quality of this production is so crude that it makes most low budget TV movies look good. It's full of choppy slow motion, unnecessary dissolves, and ultra cheap CG special effects. Things blur and ghost a lot in an attempt to hide the unprofessional shooting, even though it just makes it look worse. The camera work is mindless and the score is canned. Not to mention the acting, which is typical of TV movies and straight to video junk. Python is especially bad since the guy under the makeup is trying to do the villain voice the whole time.

Connery never looks like anything but a middle aged loser in a jogging suit. This seems careless as all they really needed to do was put a girdle and a hairpiece on him. Apart from this, his performance makes it obvious he never would have been in movies in the first place if his father hadn't been Sean Connery.

Connery's character, Daniel Leight (leight, light, Lightspeed! Get it?) has a girlfriend played by Nicole Eggert. She's also part of the "ghost squad" (which is supposed to be a kind of special forces meet SWAT team) which is a pretty laughable concept as she is just another disposable Baywatch bimbo. Naturally she winds up as bait later in the film.

It's weak and predictable every step of the way. More than anything it feels like a knockoff of "Black Mask 2" which was worthless anyhow. It's 88 minutes are an eternity for any halfway discerning movie viewer. Oh, and Lee Majors is in it. Enough said.

I know Sci-Fi Channel loves to air the worst sci-fi movies they can find, but they've outdone themselves with this garbage!

OMG, it's not just bad, it is stupid! The low budget Captain America and Spider-Man TV movies in the 80s had more imagination and style than this bowl of chum.

Everythting about it was a joke: The stars, the story, the characters, the dialogue, the direction, the not-very-special effects and most of all that ridiculous costume! Sure, every superhero with a bad comb over walks into a sporting goods shop and throws together their costume. Connery looked like a member of some gay stage show.

Jason's dad would be rolling over in his grave if he was dead -- and seeing his son in THIS may kill him.

If you want to see a good show about a guy with super speed, skip this vat of pee and pick up the DVDs of the Flash TV series from the 90s. It's a HELL of a lot more netertaining.

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.

Stan Lee owes me 90 minutes of my life back. It's a simple story: two men are both changed by experiments and science gone bad. one becomes a snake man and the other develops super speed and a heart problem. Whacky high-jinx ensue.

Here are the problems with the movie:

1) Plot is horrible. The writers borrow plot points directly from Spiderman and The Flash.

2) The acting is even worse, but it's not all the actor's fault: dialogue is laughable. Nicole Eggert and Lee Majors are both in this movie, nuff said.

3) The directing is just bad. There are scenes where a person is talking and the shot does not have their mouth in it, just their forehead and nose, then the camera zooms out and re-frames.

4) There is nothing special about those special effects. The main character wears a ski suite as a costume.

All and all this movie looks and feels much cheaper and cheesier than a made for TV movie (that's saying a lot). It's pretty much like someone bought a camcorder and filmed it on weekends with their buddies.

I wonder why film studios make these low budget versions of superhero stories, everything about it was mediocre, acting, effects, story. Having seen the likes of Spider-man and Sin City this felt like I went back to the early 90s and not in a good reminiscing way. The main character looks about 50, balding fairly heavily, and not very fit, which didn't give me much confidence in his running ability, the python chap was quite good though, and i'm guessing they spent 90% of the budget on his average make-up.

The best bit of this film was the high speed running sequences, my misses thought it was a straight up comedy. I beg you not to waste your time on this, watch something else, BUT if you do have to watch it, enjoy the running.

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.

I like superhero movies just as much as the next person, but I was dubious about Lightspeed considering it was SyFy, notorious for making bad movies. As far as SyFy movies go, Lightspeed is not their worst, and not quite bottom-of-the-barrel quality. And that is only because Python looked cool. However, it was to me a terrible movie, with unimaginative and often cheap-looking special effects and choppy editing. The writing is of a corny and clunky quality throughout, the story is dull and predictable with no real excitement or thrills and the characters have no likability to them, coming across as either annoying or dull. The acting is also very wooden, with Jason Connery an uncharismatic lead and everyone else not faring much better. All in all, it may be a superhero movie but it lacks flash, any genuine excitement, a convincing lead or imagination. 1/10 Bethany Cox

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.

...didn't go far enough.

But nobody seemed to notice that Lee Majors, at 67, looks about 15 years older throughout, and has nothing to do but grimace and pretend to be in charge of an elite group of government agents called the ghost raiders, or some such silly nonsense.

I bought this at my local video store because I have thing for "super hero" movies. The fact that it was on-sale for $9, the same day it was released at $14, should have warned me.

Easily the poorest excuse for an action fantasy hero I've ever seen - it made The Fantastic Four look like Spiderman.

Dreadful. DO NOT waste your time or money.

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!
