Pros: Fun, entertaining movie. Music by Queen. Cons: Bad dialogue and acting at times. Could be too cheesy for some viewers.
Over the years, many different comic books and graphic novels have been created. Many deal with some kind of superheroes, and those are probably the ones most people think of. There have also been some comic books and graphic novels that haven’t had ...
Pros: Great fun, Sam Jones Sex Appeal, Von Sydow's talent, and Queen! Cons: Has a built by committee feel.
Flash Gordon (1980) Directed by Mike Hodges Every thousand years, I test each life system in the Universe. I visit it with mysteries, earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses, strange craters in the wilderness... If these are taken as natural, I ...
Pros: One of the most accurate comic-to-film adaptations ever done. Cons: Not nearly as many extras as the R2 release.
Little known fact: back around 1972, George Lucas wanted to license the rights to Flash Gordon for a new, big screen remake. As the rights were already tied up by Dino De Laurentis at the time, the deal fell through and he went on to make a little ...
Pros: A big messy colorful adventure. Cons: Not for everyone.
Trashy, campy, silly, and wild. Flash Gordon is brilliant. The cast is perfect. The soundtrack by Queen? Classic. The costumes and set design look like they fell out of the comic strip. It has bizarre dialogue, lots of crazy action, weirdo aliens, gross...
Pros: set & costume design, cast, storyline, pacing, flashy to the max Cons: some cheesy dialog, some poor effects
Flash Gordon is one of those films that seemed to slip by with no one really paying much attention to it. This is a shame as it is quite possibly one of the most enjoyable science fiction movies ever made. Just ask around. I am willing to bet that the ...
Pros: the principal performers, wardrobe of the aliens, sets Cons: Some performances, some dialogue, the "Lizard Men" costumes, special effects
New York Jets star quarterback "Flash Gordon" (Sam J. Jones) and "Dale Arden" (Melody Anderson, in her motion picture debut) are kidnapped by "Dr. Hans Zarkov" (Topol) when the plane they are passangers on crash lands near his home/observatory. The three ...
Pros: Actors, pure enjoyment value, set, sound track Cons: Its a bit cheesy!
This film is brilliant! I love it.
It's generally about a rocket scientist who is convinced that the Earth is about to be attacked so he tricks Flash Gordon (the famous American Football player) and a nosy reporter (Dale) to go up in this...
Pros: Gorgeous production design; electrifying soundtrack; ultra-campy cast of characters Cons: Appallingly bad special effects that go beyond kitschy; poor pacing and editing
How does a movie that is supposed to suck high-kick its way up the stairs of cinema to secure a seat in the Valhalla of all-time sci-fi cult classics? Hang on and I'll tell you. But first, my childhood.
Pros: great music, sexy outfits, some great actors Cons: corny effects
If you love sci-fi, comedy, comics, the Queen rock group and sexy outfits...you'll enjoy this take-off of the original "Flash Gordon" serials. It kind of gives those of us in the MTV age the chance to see what the old black & white t.v....
I'm sorry for all the people that have a cult following to this movie but it is so terrible! It's not a good movie. It has an incredibly thin plot line, and it's not funny! There is only one reason to watch this movie and that's for the reference in ...
Pros: uh....good plot...uh....Queen Cons: Flash is really cheesy
When I rented this movie...right away you hear the band sing the main theme "FLASH AHHHHHHH!", I was shocked to find out that it was Queen. This movie is perhaps one of the all time cult classic..and I can see why. It it entertaining although...
Pros: good fun for the whole family. Cons: Corney sets are not that elaborate.
this is a very good family film. It has something missing in todays movies, values.I liked the fact that the music played a significant role in this film. queen outdid themselves on this cool soundtrack.the sets may not have been elaborate but the colors...
Ok, I love this movie... but why? The lead actor is terrible, the special effects are so cheesy that they don't DESERVE a stick to be shaken at them, and Flash is a football hero. Ok, so what?
This movie is so campy and corny that it bears repeat watchings. It is a classic retelling of the classic radio serial. Topol plays a scientist trying to warn the world of the danger it's about to encounter, Sam J. Jones plays Flash and Melody Anderson...
