Godzilla DESTROY ALL MONSTERS, is an OK film, it's got long boring scenes featuring the humans in which it's all "Talk, talk, talk." And has very little monster action until the end in which we see all our favourite of the time monsters team up to fight the evil King Ghidorah. It's the only scene in the film I recommend. Varan and Baragon, even though they're in the film they don't get enough screen time and as I also should mention this was meant to be the last Godzilla movie and so I'd like to say...The Movie is really MEH on my opinion; it's just the end battle scene that I enjoy the most. So, to cut things short, I give this film a 8/10. I still can recommend the whole entire film, but keep in mind there's tons of scenes involving the humans in which they're standing around talking and then going off to do something and continuing to do more things which to them are very important but for me, they feel long and stretched out... Still 8/10. Just skip to the end battle scene.

Destroy All Monsters was meant to be the last film in the Godzilla Franchise. As a final film it gives the Big-G a decent final outing.The level of acting may not reach superb, at least in my opinion, but it is good enough to make the characters really enjoyable to watch.As for the storyline it is decent enough. I would have liked it if a couple of things where explained such as how the monsters where brought to the island in the first place. One thing I like about the entire plot is the fact that Destroy All Monsters works well as a monster movie and a sci-fi flick and the two aspects are merged together well.One thing I will say here is that I am glad they did not finish with this film but it does work, albeit not perfectly, as a final romp for Godzilla.

Easily watchable, good monster movie NOT embroiled in unlikely character development. Its story will supply materials for FINAL WARS ( basically a re-run ). SFX are decent, albeit not top notch. Many vehicles look like garage sale toys. Cartonbox cities, although looking as such, are surprisingly well done. Smiling, condescending female aliens (similar to Planet X/Monster zero types ) are invading earth. To do so, they capture the head control station of monster island and send the remotely controlled monsters to wreack havoc worldwide, so that humans will come to terms with them accepting alien leadership. There are many plot twists... there is a UN moon base ( along the line of the UFO series ) and 1999 spaceships that are just beefed up 1960s rockets. Many clichés find screen time...the army moment, the alien invader moment, the bold soldier moment, the spy moment... Characters are rather wooden and cardboard, but in a monster movie that's not a major flaw; monster movies aren't theater plays. In the end, reminiscent of one Star Trek TOS episode, alien invaders' real self is the one of giant slugs eager to bury themselves into rock. Overall, a movie one might watch twice for some unpretentious fun.

destroy all monsters is the one old school Godzilla film that you must see.first, of course, It effectively sums up the series to that point, by explaining the inter-connectedness of all the essential toho monsters. it also revealed the deep relationship between the Godzilla films and the toho sci-fi films of the same period - e.g. the mysterians.however, all this 'interconnecting' did the one thing that really drew the fans of these films all-together, in a way the producers may not have intended - after a decade of debate among film fans, it was no longer possible to maintain that these films were not essentially silly and badly made. which, far from alienating the grounding audience for the Godzilla films, actually brought them all togetrher and gave them an identity - if we could agree on nothing else, we could at least agree that the Godzilla films were absolute trash, and yet funny as hell.if you still think you have a brain on your shoulders, wait till you see Godzilla and his friends decide - and, yes, they are the ones to make the decision - that earth must be saved from ghidirah, the space monster. wait until you see, for yourself, the marvelous professional wrestling moves these rubber lizards pull on ghidirah - and in tag-team, no less. meanwhile, the earthling heroes debate whether the enemy planet is too hot to land on; but even so, they do land on it, and despite the inevitable destruction of their space-ship - which miraculously never happens - they reduce the aliens to little rock-lizards that are fairly harmless, if kept in the cooler...oh, bliss - but there is really too much wonder to relate here - you simply must accept that this movie is good for you - and if it isn't, it's fun anyway, huh - of course, the real star of this film is the big green guy - to hell with special effects - 'oh no - there goes Tokyo - go go Godzilla'
