Barbarella (1968)
7/10
Good charming camp, Fonda is hotter then the sun!

Not nearly is sleazy as i had hoped for (i think i may have seen the "nice version"):& it still delivered plenty of fun with its campy plot and imaginative set designs.

The effects have aged bad. But everyone watches this for Jane Fonda anyway, and she is in almost every scene. I was somewhat surprised to see her not only live up to every expectation, but by far exciting them. Stunningly beautiful and incredible sexy,playing her character with amazing freshness, she left me reeling.

Plus, sometimes its not only a funny mess, but a visually arresting mess, take the scenes in the bubble for example. Beautiful. Psychedelic. Entertaining pulp with high charm-factor.

A bit comparable to Flash Gordon actually, they've got the same unpretentios and playfull vibe, although offcourse, they are children of completely diffren deceniums.
