BARBARELLA (1968)

BarbarellaEntertaining? Definitely, but if you're offended by female exploitation movies, this movie ain't for you.
Technically any good? The editing is a little slow by today's standards, but the script is fairly solid for what the movie is supposed to be, which is a vaccuous, fantastical movie. Virtually no character development, but the actors manage to make interesting statements with their characters. Mind you, "interesting" in the context of a truly vaccuous film.
How did I feel as the credits rolled? Satisfied. As a heterosexual male, I almost miss the days where women could wear amazing outfits and have it not be something I have to enjoy as a guilty pleasure.
Final Rating? SIYL (brief, harmless nudity, sexual situations, crappy, but fun effects)
