What a waste of my time!!!

Excellent, a Must See

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Four or five episodes of Johnnie Socko and his Flying Robot edited together. Amusing giant robot battling giant monsters tale aimed squarely at kids. Parents of course will go crazy since the action is violent with the robot/monster battles resembling professional wrestling and the human on human violence the sort of stuff you'd find in the Al Capone St. Valentine's Day School and Gangster Training Academy. I liked it, but then again I grew up on the series. If there is any problems, other than the "men in suits" effects variety is that the movie plays like a series of episodes stitched together, with a climax coming every 20 minutes. Recommended for those who've run out of Ultraman or Godzilla

It has been the one movie that my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch. It would sure be great to find a copy. The one movie from my childhood I enjoyed. Its nice to read that there are a lot of people who enjoyed it as much as we did. It would be cool to be able to invite my brothers and their kids over for dinner and this movie. Help me find it please!

...yeah, that's right! This is one of the best movies, as far as I am concerned. Is it one of the best because of it's special effects? No! Is it one of the best because of the acting? No! Then why is it one of the best? Because if this movie made an impression on you as a kid, then it is the perfect kid film. Full of adventure and action. Many kids fantasize about being some sort of super hero or saving the world and "sticking" it to the bad guys. So what could be more appealing than a movie surrounding little Johnny Socko and his Giant Robot! For people (especial kids) who are full of imagination in the first place, things like special effects are not that important. I notice everyone who commented had nothing but positive things to say about this film. That is because this sort of movie has a profound effect on those it appeals to. I, just like all the other commentators, have fond childhood memories that include this movie, among other things. As a kid, we used to play "Giant Robot" and virtually act out the entire movie. Very endearing.

I have not seen this film in more than 25 years but I loved it as a child, and saw it at least a half dozen times. I would like to find a copy to view for nostalgia reasons, and yes, I have also never forgotten the tune of the theme music.
