The Flash Pilot-Review

*This review is Spoiler Free* 

A few days ago The CW's anticipated new show The Flash had its pilot leaked to the internet, and while its copyrighted material CW didn't seem like it was in a hurry to clean up the mess. So just ten minutes ago my Boyfriend whom is a longtime Flash fan and I sat down to watch the episode. We were pleasantly surprised, while many details were wrong, they did so many things just so right. Grant Gustin, the actor behind the fastest man alive brought Barry Allen to life the best he could. Though a fair warning to comic book fans the show is following The New Earth story behind Barry's life which includes Professor Zoom, a.k.a. the Reverse Flash turning his life upside down in a way older fans may not entirely like. 

Barry's suit is not so true to the Flash we know and love, this suit is a much darker red and feels more like a leather motorcycle suit then the one we are accustomed too. Assisted by his new friend Cisco a lab assistant from STAR Labs, barry is gifted the suit when he decides to protect his city from the threat that is 'meta humans'. 

When Barry feels a loss of purpose he goes to his now brother in arms, Oliver Queen for some help, offering Arrow fan's a small glimpse of there favorite hero back in his hood protecting his city with bow in hand. 

While the episode was fantastic you will be left with a feeling that things were a little rushed, as if they were attempting to divulge as much information as they could within the hour time constraint. Putting that detail aside, other than some change of details and some information that seemed rather different, the Pilot was a good layup for what should be an amazing season with a new unique comic book hero series. If you love anything to do with The Flash this is most certainly the show for you.
