 "For those who want to reminisce of the old Godzilla days..."It's been decades since I seen a real Godzilla movie and so, I bought this DVD to relive my childhood. Man, it's so campy... but it was fun to watch. I tried to read the actor's lips to see what they were actually saying in Japanese but anyway, it was interesting to see all the monsters together. I didn't expect much from the video and audio since the movie is so old but as for special features...no special features, just stick your DVD in and it plays. That's why the DVD is pretty cheap for retail. Anyway, if you are in the mood to see a DVD movie featuring the real Godzilla, this is it. I am giving this DVD a D for lack of anything on it but the movie an average C+.  "Ah, the good old days"Sure, the plot's cheesy, the speacial effects are out of date, but it generates a sense of nostalgia. While the plot may not be much to look at, this movie is all about the fun of watching giant monsters trash each other in an all out bash. The speacial effects used in this movie were unprecidented for the date it was made. The Japanese speacealized in puting a guy in a rubber suit. This movie is great for die hard Godzilla fans who love to watch the monsters.  "Godzilla Forever!"This was my first Godzilla flick, seen at the drive-in way back in 1968, & my life was forever changed. No matter the strides made in Godzilla effects technology this film holds a special place in my heart. I was very pleased to see it released on DVD. It's a great transfer & widescreen, too! Godzilla & Co. have never looked better. My only gripe is that the English dialogue has been re-dubbed. Why? I wish I knew. And it's not a perfect re-dub either. In fact the first scene to feature dialogue shows a character enter a room and silently mouth a greeting! Still, this is a small hair to split -- buy it, watch it, you'll love it! In a perfect world I'd like to see a DVD release featuring both a subtitled AND dubbed version. I can dream . . . "Simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I rate this movie 5 stars(along with CATS)!Giant monsters,evil alien women,cool special effects-who could ask for anything more? This is one of the best Godzilla films ever! "One Giant Kaiju Battle"Destroy All Monsters is one of the best kaiju movies ever made. Here is the plot: The people of the planet Kilaak take control of all the Earth's monsters in the year 1999. They control the monsters to destroy the Earth's major cities. After the humans find out how the monsters and some humans were taken over by Kilaaks, they develop a computer to control the monsters. Godzilla, Minilla, Rodan, Speiga, Anguillas, Mothra, Gorosaurus, Varan, Baragon, and Manda will attempt to fight the Kilaak race. However they fight King Ghidorah instead. What I don't like is how Manda, Baragon, and Varan don't fight King Ghidorah. They all just sit and whatch the other monsters fight. A good plot, lots of kaijus, aliens, what could a science fiction lover want more? |
