    Jane Fonda as Barbarella, wow! Camp and crazy, I love this film!

    Barbarella is a 1968 classic.
    This movie is a cult , fantasy,comedy, adventure film. It's about a sexy woman who is sent to the future, to find and stop the torturous ways of the evil Durand - Durand.
    I adore this movie. Jane Fonda was perfect in this role, she really was stu...( read more)nning back then. What's not to like? Seducing an Angel, women smoking the "essence" of man, an evil whacked out queen, the futuristic love making ways, or the flesh eating demon dolls- that are all the rage with the children of tomorrow...
    This movie definitely has some bizarre, fabulously twisted moments.
    Sure, the effects do have a certain Gorgonzola inspired flavor, and some of the acting is less than stellar. But, I believe that is part of this movie's charm.
    Being how I have a slightly skewed view of things, I have unambiguous feelings towards this film's luminosity!

    Succeeds on pure schlock-value alone.

    A Sex kitten traveling through space in a fur-lined spaceship, I mean how cool is that.

    What I like about this film is it's deliberateness.

    What I love most about Barbarella is how hard it tries,

    It's like Bono.

    Trying so hard to be cool...somehow makes him cool.

    Not bad for a late 60`s SciFi. Good Stuff, surely wont watch it again. Fuckin Dolls.

    Really wish I'd never watched this film.

    All I can say is...lol :B

    Sexy, fun, cheesy!
  • October 12, 2009
    Strange and bizarre scenery and story - an old, trashy, science-fiction-supersoft-porn-crossover movie indeed. Somehow funny to watch, and Jane Fonda really is sexy as hell... but, well, now it's checked on my todo list, marked as "don't watch a second time, the first was odd eno...( read more)ugh"

    Jane Fonda's sex appeal isn't quite enough to save this daft tale.

It's fun in a 'What were they smoking?' kind of way. full review

    Great litle sexy romp in the space hay. Nice perils for Barbarella. The music doesn't always work well for today. Bu some still does...and it 'fits' the movie perfectly. till can't decide which oufit I like best on her. Hmmm.
