It is the suckiest,crappiest film ever.Okay someone may have been trying to get the flavour of the comic book but frankly it has to be the very worst film ever made.Whoever did the casting should have had any film credentials surgically removed.Queen is the only decent thing about the film and even they struggled with it.The actors are either so wimpy as to have no character what so ever(who ever picked the lead actor should have had their eyeballs ripped out) or they are so over the top that they come across as raging idiots.Even Ming the Merciless is a bluddy wimp.

Mind I never,ever really liked the stupid story to begin with.This film with all the special SFX available was even worse than the 30's original cinema Saturday matinee series and that is quite some achievement.
