Summary: Barbarella...Jane Fonda...Mmmm!
Review: I watched the movie in the cinema way back in 1968. I was mesmerized by Jane Fonda's portrayal of Barbarella. Although my friends didn't like it, I found it kind of nice. I don't remember the weightless strip tease but I remember her appearing nude before the President of Earth. I remenber there was some kind of conflict and her hiding, and later retrieving, a gun from the groin of the blind angel. So when I read the reviews I decided I've got to get the DVD to watch it again. When I did, I was once again mesmerized by Jane Fonda. When Barbarella discovered how enjoyable the 'old' way of making love was, she was eager and willing to make love with any man who has helped or are going to help her. She even outlasted the machine that supposed to kill by making love. I thing the tittle is a misnomer. It should be "Barbarella, Nymph of the Galaxy". Considering it was made way back in the 60's I thing it is quite remarkable!

Summary: The hottest hottie ever?
Review: Okay, so these days Jane Fonda is weird, which is entirely understandable given that she is married to Ted Turner, who can often be found snoozing during Braves games, wearing a cap 3 sizes too big for his head. But in "Barbarella," Jane Fonda is unbelievably hot, to the point where I questioned whether this movie was real or a mere figment of my fantastical imaginations. Well, it's real, people, and you need to see it. Not only is Jane utterly flawless (which can be easily seen by comparing her to today's "hot" stars like Britney Speers, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Denise Richards), she also invites every male character in the film to basically have his way with her. Um, waiter, check please? But seriously, we cannot be supporting this type of wanton behavior (primarily for the reason that the women who act this way in the real world look more like George Forman than Jane Fonda), so this type of vision is best left to the campy comedy known as "Barbarella." I am 21, mind you, so I am not biased towards the 60's, but I am telling you not to miss out on the world's perfect female--watch it.

Summary: Glorious in every way
Review: This movie is perhaps one of the best movies I have ever seen. The fashion, the decor, the brilliant dialogue, the inuendo. Must see. Leave your feminist high horse, and sit back and enjoy the epic saga. It's so 'Warhol does the velvet underground.'

Summary: A 60's cultural treasure...
Review: I brought this VHS home last night thinking it might be entertaining to watch after 31 years, since the last time I saw it. I have to say I was knocked out by it. I'd forgotten the opening strip tease, but it put me in mind of the weightless sequence in "2001:A Space Odessey". This is almost a send-up of the Pan Am flight attendant in the latter film, and the connection is the interest in weightlessness as a metaphor for a culture pre-occupied with technology and the future. The sense of style and design is a fabulous display of period interests and keeps the flavor of the original French comic strip. The voice of Joan Greenwood dubbed over Anita Pallenberg is too perfect, as is the soundtrack for the film. This is a great time to see this movie, as we approach the next century. It is a superb document of the concerns of that decade and beyond. All the issues are there with a great energy that pulses through the film without taking itself at all seriously. A must for my video library.

Summary: The greatest sci-fi film in the galaxy!
Review: Jane Fonda was never sexier than in "Barbarella," easily the greatest sci-fi film in this or any other galaxy. The combination of Fonda in her prime, director Roger Vadim, and ace director of photography Claude Renoir give this film a style and elegance other movies can only aspire to. "Barbarella," was Fonda and Vadim's third film collaboration.

Summary: The most marvelous movie ever made
Review: The first time I watched Barbarella I was in awe of what an interesting character she actually was. Time and time again I've watched and learned just how amazingly powerful this female James Bond is. With every viewing of this movie I get to experience, my respect and admiration for Jane Fonda's display of Barbarella Queen of the Galaxy grows. The message that she sends as a powerful woman space aged super sleuth roaming the galaxy in Aplha Seven searching for Duran Duran and stopping at nothing to attain her goal is both highly entertaining as well as inspirational. She truly is a wonder woman.

Summary: Jane Fonda was the BEST SEX KITTEN EVER!!!
Review: This otherwise terrible movie was SAVED by Jane's wonderful performance! From that opening sequence, a very hot space strip tease, to her near-dalliance with the black queen (Note to producers: I'd have given this one FIVE STARS if she and the black queen had actually made out!), this one was Jane Fonda at her erotic best! Why, oh why did she have to go all wacko-radical on us during this period when she looked so darn GOOD?!! I'll never forgive Hanoi for taking her away from us, those BASTARDS!!!
