Deke P I LOVE ALL BUSTER CRABB FLASH GORDON MOVIES from the 1930s & 1940s!, since I was a child! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member So far, Flash Gordon's second saga hasn't been as novel as the original run from 1936. It looks like they settled for a crowdpleaser with this iteration. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Fight of Earth men against the evil Ming in the planet Mars--Beyond Criticism!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The first sequel to the original Flash Gordon serial sees most of the cast return for another big episode sprawling adventure. It isn't as solid as the original serial, but it is still a whole lot of fun to watch and enjoy. Flash Gordon serials were clearly of the highest of quality the old serials had to offer, when you see things like the Batman serials you can really see the difference. Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars is definitely an enjoyable follow-up to the original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Charles Middleton is once again amazing! Buster Crabbe plays a better Flash Gordon this time. Dale Ardon isn't quite so helpless in this movie. Worth seeing, much shorter than the first series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This second Flash Gordon serial is inferior to the first-- depsite that there are some fine sequences, this one is undone by needless comic relief. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
