I remember watching back in 1986 and remembering the ending back when it was first I was shocked by the way of peri exit from doctor who so unexpected and that's why I've never liked this story very much. Nothing wrong with the script or the acting much can be said for brian blessed over the top acting one of the highlights of the story and the return of sil from vencence on varos and the trial scenes I think the could have been better without that ending. Anyway I have marked this with a seven cause I watched it in hd for the first time as part of the season 23 boxset which I got in the post today

Back in 1980 I sadly didn’t get the chance to see the adventures of Flash Gordon on the big screen, but over the years I watched it so many times in the various formats from VHS to DVD, so now that Cinemas are back open in Wales and it’s the 40th Anniversary of the movie I really didn’t want to miss the chance to see Sam Jones and Brian Blessed on the big screen in the cult 80s movie.

Directed by Mike Hodges and starring Sam J. Jones, Brian Blessed, Melody Anderson, Max von Sydow and many more great names of the time, Flash Gordon went through some turbulent times in bringing the character to the big screen, but over the years the film has built a cult following and fans love the film.

Flash Gordon may have its flaws, such as some of the dodgy special effects such as seeing the background through semi-translucent characters but this all adds to the charm of the film, it does for me and although you can certainly see these issues much more on the big screen it doesn’t distract you from the fun and craziness of the film.

King Of The Jungle

Tarzan- I love this movie, this is one of my favorite animation films of all time. Its a classic.

The plot: In this Disney animated tale, the orphaned Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) grows up in the remote African wilderness, raised by the gentle gorilla Kala (Glenn Close). When a British expedition enters the jungle, Tarzan encounters the beautiful Jane (Minnie Driver) and recognizes that, like her, he's human. Falling in love with Jane, Tarzan is torn between embracing civilization and staying with his gorilla family, which becomes threatened by the ruthless hunter Clayton (Brian Blessed).

Its a excellent and fantastic movie made by Disney before the 2000's. When the 2000's hit went on a downhill slop. But ill get to those movies.

Post-Star Wars high-camp reimagining of the famous Alex Raymond sci-fi comic strip. Ming the Merciless, Emperor of the planet Mongo, terrorises the Earth; a mad scientist, a football player and a travel agent rocket themselves into space in an attempt to make him knock it off.

One of those movies where the ostensible leads are the least well-known people in it - everyone else has a great time overacting: the gold medal goes to Brian Blessed, who steals the entire movie as Vultan, Prince of the Hawk People. Visually lavish, with a strong script, lots of well-staged action for younger viewers, and tongue-in-cheek jokes aplenty for older people who ought to know better. Point knocked off for some inappropriately nasty violence; put straight back on again for Queen's soundtrack.
