The Worst Film Ever

Don't listen to the negative reviews

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Blistering performances.

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 stumbled on to this movie in the video store and after reading all the outrageously negative comments decided to watch it anyway.While I agree with nearly every poster that this movie was flawed beyond hope I think it might have a second life as a teaching aid in film schools.Some examples: 1. The acting in the opening scene is flat-out painful, much the same way you see in student films.2. Lack of a coherent plot. Great movie houses like Pixar, preach that plot is everything. Every student needs to know this.3. Overly ambitious special effects. If you don't have the budget to blow something up or the skills to make convincing special effects. Then don't do it, use a plot device to get around it.4. Proper casting. If you are going to do a super-hero movie, then cast somebody that at least looks athletic.5. Character development. This movie should have been called Cobra since he was the only compelling character in the whole movie. The main character, presumably, Lightspeed needs to have some development too, after all he does get super-human power, this might change him a little bit.6. Super giant plot holes. You ever wonder why superman doesn't just fly around the world and reverse time when every something bad happens, like he did in that one movie? Well you will be asking your self this over and over in this movie. Lesson, make your super hero's skills consistent! 7. Weird, unnecessary editing in action scenes.8. Lousy gore. If someone is going to be hurt and you don't have a budget to make it look convincing, then don't do the closeup.9. I could go on and on.At least the sound was decent and the camera was in focus

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.
