That's right! Flash Gordon the movie from 1980 he did not run fast he just fight normaly and shot around with a laser gun! And the other Flash he is a super hero and he does run fast! Difrent story!
This isn't the only character named Flash, leading to much confusion. Aside from Flash the super hero and Flash Gordon the space hero, there's also Spider-man bully Flash Thompson. Adding to the confusion, there was a dog on The Dukes of Hazzard also named Flash.
I also much prefer the 1979 Filmation cartoon and 1980 film. It's no surprise that this series didn't last.
The show is typical of everything being made today. Pathetic hen-pecked male leads and politically correct - let's make all the strong characters female as usual! Battlestar Galactica springs to mind. I even gave it 2 episodes but wont be wasting my time. It's more like Ming the Mincer in this garbage, he would be more appropriate in a shampoo advert.
Totally agree with you! Poor performances, Ming looks shit and the costumes- don't get me started. Add that smirking git to the mix and it's a all round waste of film.
Yeah, I like it too. It's not Shakespeare, but Flash Gordon never was. It's just good, clean, family fun. I can't understand why this annoys so many people.
I think that some people have only watched this clip and judge it from there. Personally, I'm glad that it looks like it will be renewed for a 2nd season (I don't know for sure).
OH,COME ON!! I think the show started getting better at ep 5. I've always been a sci-fi nut,and I DO remember the 1980 movie. This is just as good,if not better. That's right,I said it!!
The hell?! Flash, all star football player still lives with his mom?! Does Canada have no shame!? Where's the freaking Sci Fi elements pf fantasy worlds painted in neon colors!? As cheesy as the 80's movie was, at least all the colors were eye popping and attention getting.
What a dissappointment. Bad casting for Ming. The Hawkmen look more like the lost boys "Cheap". Come on no wings, no imagination. Tired of the forrest scenes already, same locations they shoot for star gate.
i dont get this b****, in the 90's he looked like freaking hippie, and now on this show this ***k head live with his mom! like come on sam jones does it better dude, in other words what up with this generation!!!
ppl hate this show because they are loyal to the original. if i was a big fan of flash then i might hate this show. but i'm not interested in the flash comics or old show so i love love love this. it's like when u hate a movie that's a remake of a classic that you have loved for so long.
Liked the premiere. I like the show. I am really put out that they don't have a really catchy opening sequence using the song. They advertised with it, and I was expecting it. Quite a disappointment.
I <3 Flash Gordon Series!

He is "Flash" Gordon, not "The Flash". Flash Gordon is a Science-Fiction Character, while the Flash is a superhero.

I cant believe they have made another Tv series
Jude Law is meant to be making the new one, bet he will stay well clear now, after watching this pile of horse crap.
TERRIBLE !!

Personally, I prefer the classic Filmation series to the 1980 film. It was so-so. I hope Stephen Sommers will reconsider doing the remake.

I prefer filmation series to the 1980 film, and I would love another film of the character, but I would prefer Van Helsing's director out of it

They have to do more shows based in Mongo. The bad guys have far more interesting relationships than Flash and his little band of adventures.
