... View MoreI'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
... View MoreContinuing 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.
... View MoreGodzilla's Revenge (1971)Starring: Eisei Amamoto, Machiko Naka, Haruo Nakajima, Tomonori Yazaki, and Kazuo SuzkiDirected By: Ishiro Honda and Kevin ReynoldsIt looks like Godzilla is raising an army of monster maniacs, oh no wait there not giant monsters it's just a little kid who's a maniac. That's disappointing given the title, I mean Godzilla's Revenge, who'd he get revenge on that's the question you'll be asking yourself by the end of the picture. This was the begging of Godzilla films being for children, and Godzilla being just a regular hero instead of an anti-hero which defeats the purpose of why Godzilla fans watch Godzilla movies.In the movie we see a boy who is a Godzilla fan, he gets picked on by a group of kid's and dreams he's on Monster Island with Godzilla and his son. His parents are always working late, so they barely spend time with him. There's also two bank robbers in the movie, who have stolen a lot of cash. They stay in the abandoned warehouse, were all the kids usually see each other when walking home (yeesh , no one gets dropped off, that's pretty unusual.) The kid falls asleep, and is dreaming that a plane takes him to Monster Island. When he arrives he spots all the monsters, and watches as Godzilla beats up giant Mantises. The boy then finds the son of Godzilla and he quotes "Godzilla say's I should to fight my own battles." There is a new monster in this film who they call Gabera which looks pretty stupid. The boy and the son of Godzilla watches as Godzilla battles some sort of sea creature and Kumonga: the giant spider. The boy goes into the warehouse(even though he's told not too earlier in the film) and picks up one of the bank robbers driver's license. The two bank robbers kidnap the boy and try to use him as a means of escape (even though they could off just as easily kidnap, the boy take the driver's license and left him in the warehouse.) The dream he has with the son of Godzilla fighting Gabera in turn helps him to fight back.You shouldn't naturally care what's going on half the time because, a movie needs characters with conflict and emotional depth. This movie has a little cardboard cutout boy who is just teased for the sake of the plot, and he's a Godzilla fan just for the sake of the plot I mean if I just put this movie in your DVD or BLURAY player and told you this was a Godzilla film you would think I'm lying. Godzilla and his son are only in the film for market value cause in that time in Japan Godzilla made the company lots of money. You would be so bored that you'll be checking your watch and thinking to yourself that this movie feels like three hours, when it's only one hour and ten minutes. There were even more interesting things being said in the film like about the two bank robbers who stole a lot of money, but they weren't shown stealing anything. If they could have shown us that and maybe cops trying to find the boy while Godzilla's fighting Gabera with his son in the city that could have at least been fun.With this Godzilla film Ishiro Honda wanted to make a film for children, but there was no way he could have succeeded with that idea because Godzilla as presented in a few movies is a force of nature or an anti-hero. This movie doesn't completely rape the Godzilla name but it is still not worth any Godzilla fans time. It is one of the worst movie/monster movies a person could ever subject themselves too. I give Godzilla's Revenge a one out of five.
... View MoreA cowardly young boy is subjected to mild bullying from other local boys. Even his little girlfriend abandons him when confronted with his craven nature. Suffering a mental breakdown, the boy experiences uncontrollable hallucinations. In them he witnesses the incessant squabbling of various giant monsters and also befriends Minilla, a man-sized creature who appears to be assembled from greyish feces. Minilla also has the ability to increase his size to about 2/3 that of the other monsters, permitting him to be beaten up by them. The boy assists Minilla with tactical advice, eventually enabling the hideous monster-child to briefly get the best of his primary nemesis. From these examples the boy learns to solve his problems with violence and by victimizing innocent bystanders for the amusement of his former tormentors. He appears ready to become the new juvenile terror of his bleak industrial neighborhood.
