Peter W @RT12077588 1 day ago Flash Gordon is nothing short of a wildly fun psychedelic ride straight out of the 80s. Sure, the acting and line delivery may not always be top tier, but that is honestly part of the film’s charm. What truly makes this movie so entertaining is its incredible sci fi world building, richly imaginative costume designs, impressive props and vibrant visual style that constantly bursts with creativity. Most importantly, the legendary soundtrack by Queen absolutely rocks and injects the film with endless high energy. It is fun, ridiculous, over the top and undeniably entertaining from beginning to end. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 3, 2026 The Songs by Queen were great, I loved the campiness of this movie! See more Max L @RT64587319 Jul 26, 2026 This is a fun film to watch. From Queen's bespoke songs to the full on lean into the camp. It holds up well over time See more Daniel G. @d_grady Feb 22, 2026 Should be a three star genre film on merits alone, but the art direction, wink-and-nod campiness and Queen soundtrack coalesce into something unique and fun. See more Joey A. @TheJoe1991 Feb 12, 2026 Okay, I'm a homer, I grew up watching this movie and it's very nostalgic for me. Strangely enough I love this movie, before I even knew anything about the band Queen, and now they're my favorite band. See more Matt L. @mattl Dec 26, 2025 I want you to picture the tone and mood of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Next I want you to bring to mind the most recent Dune series or Star Wars Rouge One. Now imagine the opposite of what your mind just conjured. This is the essence of Flash Gordon. So much color and and breathy joy is infused into this film. The story stays brisk and focused. I never wondered what the stakes were and despite the campy nature of the movie I always feel invested in what was going to happen next. There is a reckless courage that still amazes me each time I watch this. Tribes of hawk men, multiple words, space battles all on a “wing” and a prayer. This movie felt as though it was made by people who loved this genre and the source material. It took decades for movies to capture that love for comic / sci fi / campy / fun. At some point we have lost it again but, we will always have this movie to help point us back to the joy that Flash Gordon still brings. See more Read all reviews
