Review Time: this title is good

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, cultural elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Artistic visions/Action sequences/Comedy level: straight off the bat there is one thing I should point out from the very beginning; this film is cheesy, but let's be fair this film does really well for what it had at its disposal back then. Moving on to the artistic visions; the comic book elements at the beginning of this film are good, in fact the artistic visions throughout this project are good on every level be it the costumes, accessories or anything else really.

The action sequences and the comedy level; I am going to be talking about these two elements together; it could be when Flash Gordon [NFL starter for the New York Jets,] finds himself with this ball shaped thing in his hands against Emperor Ming's henchmen or hench people so he does what he knows what he can do to a very high standard and not forgetting now and again he does get some assistance from Prince Vultan. But having said this sometime later Prince Vultan has this remote in his hands and he does make it difficult for Flash Gordon and Prince Barin in this one-on-one combat sequence just for fun.

Character developments/Performances: now based on observation is it me or is Princess Aura a highly sexual character; all I am saying is there is enough in this title to suggest this. Generally speaking the character developments and the performances are good, it is a little bit difficult to say really because as I have already said this film is cheesy and as everyone should know by now I really don't like splitting hairs or [taking two seconds to think about it,] if I have to not too much, but I think with taking everything into consideration and to be fair good would be a reasonable assessment.

This film receives: 6/10, now just for something a little bit different; I am going to do a good thing and a negative thing here; good thing we have some background music by the legendary band Queen and a negative thing, the scene and the question-mark thing at the end of this title and there are elements before this scene to suggest there may be a sequel in some dialogue exchanges, let's just put it this way it is highly unlikely we will be getting a sequel now, so to finish up this mark is a solid verdict of this title.

Updated Sunday: 02/06/2019 I have decided to put this review in the Marvel section, because of this character's association with the Defenders of the Earth animated TV series
