Lord--was this BAD!!!!!

An dreadful "update" of Flash Gordon. He's a small town athlete who father (maybe) died under mysterious circumstances. Through a bunch of silly events he goes to Mongo (through a door between dimensions right out of "Sliders") along with his ex Dale Arden. There they meet Ming and his daughter who want...oh I give up! This was just TERRIBLE!!! I don't know why I thought Sci Fi would make a good series (look at "Battlestar Galactica") but this is worse than I thought possible.

There's no camp at all--a serious mistake. That's what made the 1980 movie so much fun. Everything is done dead serious here. The actors are all certainly attractive (especially Eric Johnson as Flash) but the acting is just incredibly awful. I wasn't expecting Academy award performances but not THIS bad! Everybody was so wooden! They were hired for their looks and bodies--not acting ability. However the script was so terrible--boring and badly written--that probably nobody could have been good. The special effects were (even for Sci Fi) terrible.

Boring, badly updated, horribly acted. Hopefully this will disappear soon. If they camped it up it could only help.
