Viewing Notes

I’ve heard so much about Flash Gordon, I finally decided to watch it.  I was a Star Wars kid, so I never gave Flash Gordon a chance.  Now I kinda with I did.  This movie is SO goofy and SO over the top, I probably would have lapped it up as a kid.

Watching it now, it’s horrifically dated, but I loved every goofy second of it.  Especially Queen’s score & songs.  Absolutely hilarious.
