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
