Try as they might the haters can't win

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2018)

So I won't be giving an in depth review here...and to be honest it's not really a 10 star movie as I have rated it. This is still a super fun film and if you're a fan of the first you'll enjoy this one too!
You see, I'm here to balance the 1 star reviews. And try and try as they might, the haters still aren't knocking this one down below 8 stars yet.
Sorry...but I've been a film buff for more than 35 years and have obviously seen thousands of movies and for anyone to rate this just 1 star or even 3 or 4 is just plain silly.
So many people just love to hate! It must be their only means of justifying their pathetic existence. Complaining about plot (it's not trying to be a major drama here folks), complaining about how the characters don't reflect the comics (sometimes you have to adjust for the times and they are moving fast). If they made Flash Gordon today it would have to be silly...as the things people never thought possible like lasers are actually a real thing now!
It's supposed to be simply fun without having to be wrapped around some amazing plot and sub plots. You're just supposed to have FUN! It's meant to be silly. Loosen your sphincters people, chew some popcorn and have a few laughs!
