12/06/2012 "The Flash II: Revenge of the Trickster" is a rare breed: a sequel that is better than the original. The intensity is higher, the quotient of offensive content is much lower, Mark Hamill's un-Luke-Skywalker performance as the villain is amazing, and it is all around a big improvement over its predecessor. If you're looking for a little-known movie about a comic-book superhero, this is the one to pick up. I do have to issue two words of caution: Though the violence is nowhere close to what can be seen in "The Dark Knight," the insanity of the villain The Trickster is like that of Heath Ledger's Joker, and may not be appropriate for the very young for that reason. I doubt anyone over ten would be bothered, though. Also, the closed captioning does not match up with exactly what is said, though the general meaning is the same. Deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers may want to take note of that. See more 03/09/2012 Quality tv work that gives The Flash one of his great enemies to square off against: The Trickster. Mark Hamill plays him as a cross between The Joker and The Riddler and it works very well. See more 08/08/2009 Not a new movie but just two episodes from the short lived show edited together to form a feature. The show was fun but just never found its audience. See more 03/09/2009 This is actually two episodes of the Flash TV show strung together. It was a good show back in the day. Mark Hamill leaves no scenery unchewed as the Trickster and John Wesley Shipp is actually alright as the Flash. Only watch if you are a super hero fan though.

See more 07/15/2008 This is the BEST acting role Mark Hamill was dared in a bar to play, (punch that Star Wars trilogy in the testicles with a fistfull of lightsaber courtesy of Cocknocker) especially if you do not count any of his voice-over work he's done as the Joker! I'm sure if anyone thought much on this subject, Trickster suspiciously emulates another DC Comics foe from the 1989 Batman perfectly, with many original changes and twists done to the nemesis thanks to a genuine thespian "Starkiller"... Unfortunately the unique alternative Jack Napier didn't translate well into a live-action, camp serious, million dollars an episode show, so they inevidibly cancelled it! (yes it was funny as hell, but many in the early 1990's just called it annoying) However, this evolved sense of this media-specific personality was so spectacular and innovative that he replaced the initial characteristics (that the network wanted this guy to vaguely copy as the Trickster) when he landed the voice role of Joker in the great Batman Animated Series! YAY be triumph of non-conformity! Boo to the Time Warner monopoly that wanted to capitalized by Mickey Mousing earlier success and airing this very show, among other things. Hooray however on freak originality despite direct attempts to copycat... (Flintstones for instance, Sonic The Hedgehog, Daredevil, Splinter Cell, Watchmen, Snatcher, Family Guy, Nosferatu, Jason Voorhees, Akira, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and of course Flash television series) Okay, now who's up for Guyver? ;-P See more Read all reviews
