Whoever got Queen to do the soundtrack to this movie was a genius pure and simple it adds the cherry on top of the brightest, sweetest sci-fi movie cake ever made. It's difficult to review this movie as the dialogue is hilarious the acting over the top the effects ain't great and to be honest its just plain stupid in places but thats it's charm it is a moving comic book. Having said all that this film is far from poorly made the director obviously know what he was doing but I doubt if anyone else did at the time. I'd love to have been in the 1st screening of this to the studio executives! The film is about fun and wish fulfilment pure and simple what schoolboy wouldn't want to be Flash, Zoltar or Baron? Their may be other Sci-Fi movies with better effects and more to say but I doubt their are any as fun 8/10
