Flash!

[ffutures]

Is the 2007 Flash Gordon TV series worth watching? One of my local charity shops has the DVDs for a tenner, I'm wondering if I should bother. The Wikipedia description doesn't inspire much confidence, since they seem to have cut out e.g. space ships. Anyone know anything about it?

OK, that seems to be pretty unanimous. I shall pass this one by. I had a feeling that was going to be the result.

Not that Sam Jones was a brilliant actor. In fact, he was so bad all his lines had to be dubbed. However, there's a difference between a fun OTT pulp romp and something that tries to take itself seriously and utterly fails.
Coming back to the 80s film, according to Mike Hodges at the FFW last year, Max von Sydow had the time of his life hamming it up as Ming and you can see that. Other high-class actors in cheap productions usually have that "get me outta here" look on their faces.
