Heroic earthling Flash Gordon saves the world from the nefarious Ming the Merciless in this lavish, intentionally campy adaptation of the famous sci-fi comic strip. The story is as basic as space operas get: Ming (Max von Sydow) has developed a plan to destroy the Earth, and Flash (Sam J. Jones) and his attractive companion, Dale Arden (Melody Anderson), are called upon to stop him. Along the way, Flash must battle Ming's goons and the temptations of a luscious space princess. Previously the basis for a more straight-faced 1930s adventure serial, Flash's story is mined here for exaggerated, cartoon humor by screenwriter Lorenzo Semple Jr., a central figure in the similarly campy '60s Batman television series. The simplistic plot mainly serves as an excuse for spectacular sets and cartoonish action sequences, all set to an appropriately over-the-top rock score by Queen. Certainly not a film to turn to for serious excitement, fine performances, or character development, Flash Gordon has nevertheless developed an appreciative cult of fans who admire the film's humorous approach and the detailed, colorful production design. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Review For Flash Gordon

The expensive new version of Flash Gordon is a lot more gaudy, and just as dumb, as the original series starring Buster Crabbe.
Variety Staff-Variety

A respectable time-waster.
Dave Kehr-Chicago Reader

The narrative is a little plodding, but adult punters will soon slip back into areverie for the lost visions of Saturday morning cinema.
-Time Out

Is it fun? Yeah, sort of, it is.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

There's plenty of colourful fun and an awful lot of men in tights. Don't listen to its pofaced detractors -- for sheer cinema fun, Flash Gordon can't be beaten.
-Film4

...a terminally underwhelming sci-fi epic that may keep small children amused, admittedly, but will leave adults bored to tears.
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews

This is like a drug-induced sexy fever dream of what the 80s had turned into for much of science fiction cinema.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

With gaudy sets and costumes by Fellini's favourite designer, Danilo Donati, and ultra-camp performances throughout, this is a film that positively revels in its cheesiness.
Jason Best-Movie Talk

Sci-fi comic-strip movie is too violent for younger kids.
Charles Cassady-Common Sense Media

I'm guessing nine out of ten people would rather watch the bearded, barrel-shaped Blessed--strapped to giant wings--bellow, 'Impetuous boy! Oh well, who wants to live forever? Diiiive!' than watch Olivier deliver 'To be or not to be...' [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews

a great camp classic
Stefan Birgir Stefansson-sbs.is

Taken solely as a pop wedge of cheese, it's beautifully realized. As for the empty-headed dialogue and the puerile plot, isn't it obvious those are both part of the point?
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com

The film literally explodes with a festival of colors and opulent costume design. It lends the movie a majestic spilled-cocaine imprint that's unmistakable and urges the film into distinctive areas of presentation George Lucas could never follow
Brian Orndorf-DVDTalk.com

About the only thing that isn't red in this movie is the blood
Shane Burridge-rec.arts.movies.reviews

Young kids will probably enjoy this one, but anyone over 10 years old can forget it, as Lorenzo Semple's script pokes more fun at the audience's intelligence than at the story.
-TV Guide's Movie Guide

Glossy sci-fi fun, although ultimately pretty empty.
Steve Crum-Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers

Laughably bad and fantastically good all at once, this is a guilty pleasure that everyone can enjoy.
Adam Smith-Empire Magazine

One of the great "bad" movies of the decade.
Eric Lurio-Greenwich Village Gazette

Quite possibly the greatest movie ever made, and I thoroughly distrust anyone who suggests otherwise.
Luke Y. Thompson-LYTRules.com

It's garish goofiness is part of its charm
