Best part about this movie was the amazing graphics and Stage settings and the fact that the technology of Blu-ray amazingly brought out the complete an amazing details of those graphics and state settings. The story is okay. Rock group Queen did the backing Soundtrack for the movie. Rock group Queen is an amazing group who still have millions upon millions of fans to this day and was definitely the right band to do the Soundtrack to Flash Gordon. For sci-fi folks out there it was really kind of cheesy but worth at least one viewing in full.

Flash Gordon on Blu-Ray is a great watch for children of the 80's. A campy, but entertaining version of the Flash Gordon story with a color a scheme that rivals 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' and 'The Wizard of Oz'. Also has a great mix of B-movie stars such as Sam Jones as Flash Gordon and a very HOT Melody Anderson as Flash's love interest, Dale Arden and classical actors such as, Max von Sydow as Ming the Merciless, Topol as Dr. Hans Zarkov and Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin. It also features one of the most under-rated soundtracks by Queen. In addition to working wonderfully with the movie, it also makes a great workout cd. The song, 'Hero', from the soundtrack, was also recently used in the Seth Rogan movie 'Observe and Report'. How cool is it that the guy who starred in 'Super Bad' and 'Pineapple Express' is a 'Flash Gordon' fan?! This is one to own! ;-)Read full review
I really love this movie. It is the best mix of fun, camp, and music. If you take it too seriously, it is just cheesy. On the other hand if you accept it for the fantastic camp that it is, you realize it is a tribute to the sci-fi movies of yesteryear.

Ok, bought this because I had never seen it. It’s pretty ridiculous. The acting is atrocious, even with Max von Sydow and Brian Blessed. Flash is played by former Playgirl centerfold Sam J. Jones. Need I say more. The sets and costumes are out of control, as in over the top. Very camp, but not a good film.
