As stated, it's campy as all get out and a lot of fun. It's a weird case where the two leads are pretty bad actors, but are surrounded by some really talented (even borderline great) actors who don't appear embarassed by the campiness and really get into their roles. The soundtrack is just awesome. The effects were OK for the time and did harken back to the old serials, as well.
Ultimately, it's usually worth a watch when it's on.

Gave this a 3.
and it is lucky to get that.
Sure I laughed at times, not because the joke was good, but because of how bad it was. This is slightly better than Sharknado.
If you want campy fun, try Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Now that is a campy fun good time. -

for a new movie, i would expect this.
for an 30+ year old movie that is camp/cult fav, not so much.
takes a special amount of hate to come to a board on a movie this outdated and post like that.
Go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!

5 of out 10
Effects: Brutal
Football Fight: Stupid
No setup, nothing.
Ornella Muti: 10/10 sexy as hell
Brian Blessed, Timothy Dalton, Max Von Sydow, Peter Wyngarde, and Topol to an extent made the film tolerable.
The script is horrible, the direction even worse.
The Flash Gordon cartoon by Filmation was far better. -

I give it about a four & couldn't get past 30 minutes & then deleted it from my computer. It's just too cheesy, unrealistic & with bad acting. I probably would've like as a pre-teen, but I was a few years older when this came out.
