Flash Gordon is rubbish and I 'll tell you why.
Although the music is really good the story is very shallow and poor. The sets are quite plain, very limited in what there is and the costumes, although rather glamorous, are very out of date. It reminds me of the original Star Wars film that everyone loves (except me) but you know is so poor now. Evan when Flash is fighting it was laughable as he didn't always lift his fist before the other person fell over! It was awful. The scientist tries to be evil and threatening but fails badly as he is far too slow and too well spoken.
Buy a Queen cd and you'll have the best bits of the film!
