 "Very bad dubbing"The movie is the best by far of the Godzilla series. the only problem I had was with the new english dubbing...very corny, the old english dubbing was better.  "A Battle Royale with some missing competitors"This movie is 90 minutes long, but seems like it lasts an eternity (as do all Godzilla movies do). The special FX are typical for late 1960's monster movies, very poor and the human-to-human fight scenes are kind of lame. A lot of people like this movie because it features all (actually most) of the good/bad monsters that appear throughout the series. This is the part that gets me. Its supposed to feature all monsters attacking King Ghidorah at a final battle, but two monsters: "Baragon" and "Varan" are missing in action. Baragon shows up the frontlines of the battle but dissapears during the fight. Varan doesn't show up until the very ending when the monsters are back on Monster Isle. but he is only there for like 3 seconds and then he flies away... BAD: This has to be addressed, this movie has NO MENU whatsoever. Nothing, nadda, zip! You are forced to go through the movie and guess the chapter stops because the DVD case has no chapter list insert either. This is a very big disapointment for this DVD. Overall, the movie is good though. For Godzilla fans like myself, it was refreshing to watch the movie in its clear DVD format. I would say this is one of the better Godzilla movies, although the final battle is quick compared to the rest of the movie's events. Only buy if you are a Godzilla fanatic! "Destroy All Monsters Review"I think that Destroy All Monsters is the best old Godzilla movie they ever made. They have many monsters, including Godzilla, Rodan, Anguilus, Varan, Minya, King Ghidrah, Manda, Gorosaurus, Baragon, and Gorosaurus. Each monster attacks a major city of the world. Just to let you know.  "Not As Good As I Remember"I remembered seeing this flick as a boy and, for some reason, loving it. As an adult, I bought the movie, eagerly only to be disappointed in the poor quality of it. The monsters make brief appearances until the end and, even then, it's still too brief. The use of a rocker ship to travel everywhere, not just to outer space, is silly. "Classic Godzilla, Bare Bones DVD"Hey, this is a Godzilla flick, right? You expect bad dubbing and horrible SFX. If you're buying the DVD though, be prepared... this is about as "no frills" as it gets. No menus, no extras, NO CHAPTERS!!! You pop it in, and it just starts playing. That's it. It's one big chapter. It's presented in widescreen though, which is a nice treat. |
