With gaudy sets and costumes by Fellini's favourite designer, Danilo Donati, and ultra-camp performances throughout, this is a film that positively revels in its cheesiness.

I'm guessing nine out of ten people would rather watch the bearded, barrel-shaped Blessed--strapped to giant wings--bellow, 'Impetuous boy! Oh well, who wants to live forever? Diiiive!' than watch Olivier deliver 'To be or not to be...' [Blu-ray]

While it's not the best of the sci-fi genre, you don't have to go to a galaxy far, far away to enjoy every minute of it.

There's plenty of colourful fun and an awful lot of men in tights. Don't listen to its pofaced detractors -- for sheer cinema fun, Flash Gordon can't be beaten.

The narrative is a little plodding, but adult punters will soon slip back into areverie for the lost visions of Saturday morning cinema.

A respectable time-waster.
