A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

My boy is currently four years old and we love sitting down and watching this film. He understands the plot perfectly: the bullied boy who misses his parents... the desire to see his friends on Monster Island... and the fighting! This is a movie made for kids and for that purpose, it is a piece of perfection. I was taken aback by all of the negative reviews. It is very far from being the worst Godzilla film. In fact, since I have been watching it with my boy, it is now my favorite. This movie avoids all of the cliches of the usual Godzilla films: there are no scientists, no military (except for a brief scene with jet fighters swooping onto Godzilla), and no endless shots of Tokyo being destroyed. There are just a lot of monsters and a sweet story of a latchkey kid whose parents work too much. Even the bank robber plot is perfectly okay. It gives the escapism onto Monster Island all the more meaningfulness. And the main character, a boy named Ichiro, makes friends with Godzilla's son - and, here, Godzilla is actually a father figure! Just the kind of father figure that is lacking in the boy's life. Sure, Godzilla's son talks in a goofy voice, but what better voice is there to hold the attention of youngsters? Furthermore, Godzilla's son overcomes a bully himself - being a role model for Ichiro. There is a lesson about standing up to bullies in this film. I'm not sure any other Godzilla film does that. Finally, I want to point out that Gabara has got to be the funkiest monster in Godzilla history - with his (her?) orange hair, tortoise-shell chest, green scales, and a roar that sounds like nauseated cat laughter. What's not to love??? Also, some people complained that this movie used recycled clips from earlier movies. My reply is: who cares? My four year old certainly doesn't. This Godzilla film is fun from beginning to end and should never be called the worst.

I'm going to agree with most people and say that this was the worst Godzilla movie ever made. The worst part about it is probably how it just reuses stock footage from other Godzilla movies. One of them was "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster" which was featured on MST3K. It does kind of make you wonder why they never used that movie for the show. I guess with the stock footage it would be redundant. Another annoying thing about the movie is Minya. He was already annoying in "Son Of Godzilla" but this just ups the ante of obnoxiousness. The main character is this kid who keeps having dreams or fantasies about Godzilla.I guess it's all in his head. That makes the story even more pointless. The effects are completely laughable in this film. The other Godzilla movies it has footage from aren't good, but are certainly preferable over this. It's hard to say if the short length is the best part about the movie. They means they just wanted to use as little original footage as possible. No one could have put much effort into this. It's probably the goofiest entry in the entire series and a fair betrayal of the tone the franchise started out with. *1/2

Continuing the awful trend of shifting the famous Kaiju series towards younger audiences, the tenth film in the Godzilla series from Toho Studios, was not a good watch. The film was released in Japan as All Monsters Attack, yet when it released theatrically in the United States in the winter of 1971 by Maron Films, the name was change to Godzilla's Revenge. No matter, what you call it, this film doesn't have Godzilla seeking revenge, nor does it have all the monsters attacking Godzilla. It barely has Godzilla at all. The scenes that had him, wasn't anything new. It was mostly made up of stock footage taken from various other Godzilla films like 1966's Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster & 1968's Destroy All Monsters. Due to stock-footage taken from previous movies, Godzilla's appearance keeps changing from scene to scene. It made for a very confusing watch. It also made for a very repetitive action-sequence for any fan that seen, any of the previous movies. However, there were new shots of Godzilla tries to teach his son, Minilla how to fire nuclear breath, instead of being a reuse of an identical scene from 1967's Son of Godzilla. So that was a plus. Also, it's nice to see, a new monster by the name of monstrous ogre known as Gabara. I just wish, that monster spent most of the time, fighting Godzilla than Minilla. In my opinion, Minilla is one of the worst things to happen to the Godzilla folklore. I really hate all of the scenes with him. He looks and sounds like a giant walking-talking mentally-retarded turd. It's really hard to watch, his scenes with his seal-like screams, and goofy Barney type voice. Another thing, that was super annoying, was the young boy named Ichiro Miki (Tomonori Yazaki). It's really odd, how he dreams up, imaginative fights on Monster Island, while trying to survive schoolyard bullies and Bank Robbers, Senbayashi & Okuda (Sachio Sakai and Kazuo Suzuki). I really don't know, how Godzilla is able to teach children to stand up, against bullies, when the monster, himself is a bully who normally roars, but whatever. Among the more unusual aspects of the film was the casting of Hideyo Amamoto as a toy designer and friend to the little boy. The reason, why this was odd, is because Amamoto is often known to play the villain, in other films. Seeing him, in this film is just strange; because I was thinking, any minute into the film, that he could kidnap Ichiro and kill him. Not only does, this movie has really bad casting, but the translating from Japanese to English is pretty bad. The English dubbing is some of the worst, here. It doesn't really match with the movement of the mouth at all. Maybe, it's better to watch the Japanese version, indeed. However, some of the film's messages are still somewhat controversial. I don't get, why the movie is telling kids to stand up, against bullies; only to have the main character act like a juvenile delinquency in the end to adults. It seems like a bad message. I get that, director Ishiro Honda was trying to get out, a message about parents needing to parent their children, rather than allowing computers, and technology to, but that is somewhat lost, within the madness of this story. Still, it's really cool to see that Toho had an idea of personal computer, way before it came into the market. Another problem with the English version is the soundtrack. The Japanese version featured a vocal song over the opening credits, 'March of the Monsters', sung by Lily Sasaki and the Tokyo Children's Choir, while the English other, features a jazzy instrumental entitled "Crime Fiction", composed by Ervin Jereb. Both of them, sounds like a jewel heist film, it really doesn't match the film, at all. I also hate, how the music pauses or muted out for a few seconds, during the fight scenes. It felt like a record player skipping along. Also, why was the kid's fight scenes, film in awkward pauses of film footage!? It make it, hard to watch, as well. Overall: Often paired up nationwide on a double bill with the1967's film, 'Night of the Big Heat AKA Island of the Burning Damned'. This movie is often considered the worst Godzilla movie by his fans, and I have to agree with that statement. I can't recommended watching this film. It's just bad.

My rating for Godzilla's Revenge (and don't hate me please) well I'm gonna give it a 6.0/10 because if you watch this movie has a kid you will like it this movie was actually made for kids i know some fans hate this movie because they want Godzilla movies to be serious not for kids but anyways i watch this movie has an open minded person and i enjoyed it i think it was very fun to watch to bad there is no Portuguese dub or i would let my little sister when she gets 5 years old watch this movie.i love anything that has to do with Godzilla no matter how terrible it is some people use to say to me damn you're a real fan
