MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Leofwine_draca A bizarre, kiddie-orientated addition to the GODZILLA series which is really a GODZILLA film by association only, seeing as the jolly green giant only appears briefly in scenes lifted from other movies! In fact, it's hard to say what GODZILLA'S REVENGE really is. Part revenge drama, part crime thriller, part fantasy, this is a film that the fans mainly hate and consider to be the worst of the series. I think that GODZILLA'S REVENGE must be watched in the right frame of mind in order to enjoy it properly, i.e. you must imagine yourself as an imaginative child to get something out of this film.Things don't look promising with the film's opening, full of appalling music and an annoyingly "cute" kid - who, despite all indications to the contrary, grows on you as the film progresses. At least he's not as annoying as Macaulay Culkin... anyway, we watch the kid, Ichiro, playing with a radio and hanging around with a cool, mad inventor of toys (played by Eisei Amamoto, genre regular) who has created a glove that moves and talks! The monster content comes from the couple of dreams that Ichiro has, where he imagines himself flying to Monster Island and watching Godzilla fight a number of foes (actually, all we see is footage taken from EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP, SON OF GODZILLA, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS, and others). Eventually he befriends Minilla, Godzilla's son, and learns to become courageous through him.Basically if you remove the footage from previous monster bashes, you're left with a handful of silly scenes which have Ichiro bonding with Minilla, who bizarrely talks for some reason. The saving grace is that these scenes are invariably very funny indeed, and as a whole the film works as a piece of unintentional comedy. It's fast-paced, has plenty of action and Japanese weirdness to enjoy, and is very colourful to look at. The stock footage is incorporated well with the new stuff, so to a naïve fan I'm sure the effect would be genuine. Although not really a worthwhile film for adults to watch, this is nonetheless watchable as a curiosity piece.

ironhorse_iv 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.

Al_The_Strange Godzilla's Revenge - also going by the title of All Monsters Attack - it just sounds so cool, doesn't it? Godzilla has always been a symbol of pure mass destruction, and combined with a myriad of other monsters, it's always expected that Godzilla will clash with bigger and badder enemies and lay waste to entire cities in their wake.What I didn't realize about Godzilla's Revenge, however, is that all monsters attack only in the mind of a little kid. And it's all confined to an imaginary island of monsters, where Godzilla hangs out with his son and teaches him to fight. Meanwhile, in the real world, this kid with the big imagination gets into trouble with some bad guys, and gives them the run-around. That's all there is to this movie. It is not an epic kaiju clash: it's a kid's movie. Godzilla and his kin have been reduced to a pile of radioactive cheese; it may work fine and dandy for a young audience, especially when compared to the Gamera films of the 70s, but for adults it's just lame.The story's pretty much outlined above. There is a neat interplay going on between reality and fantasy, as the kid learns to outwit his captors in the same way Minilla learns to spit radiation in the fantasy scenes. Aside from that, however, the plot is very thin and fluffy, with a cast of annoying characters. Useless pratfalls and an excess of camp hampers the presentation overall.This film has some fine and dandy photography and editing, although some of it is pieced together from stock footage and scenes from previous Godzilla movies. Acting from the kids tends to be pretty nerve-wracking, but the few adult actors don't fare any better. Really, the guys in the rubber suits provide the best performances here. Writing is terrible. This production uses some cheap sets, props, and costumes. There are some interestingly grungy locales in the real-life scenes, which contrast with Monster Island pretty well. Music is pretty upbeat and campy, and it features one of the cheesiest theme songs I've heard in a while (and I can't get it out of my head!!).Of the Godzilla movies I've seen, this is one of the dumbest and corniest ones. Even if you are looking for a kaiju movie for kids, why insult their intelligence with this one? There are definitely better ones in the series.2/5 (Entertainment: Poor | Story: Marginal | Film: Very Poor)

cricketlenny There are a lot of Godzilla films out there, and for most of them its up for debate about which ones are good, or which one is the best(original aside). But any Godzilla fan who's seen his fair share of Godzilla movies knows that THIS movie is by far the worse one. Because it doesn't matter how cheesy or how stupid or fake looking some of the movies can be, because all of them have one thing that this movie doesn't: it stars Godzilla. This movie stars a young boy who gets picked on, day dreams, gets kidnapped, escapes, and stands up to the bullies. Because thats what we think of when someone says Godzilla, we think of coming of age stories. The only times we see Godzilla are in stock footage. I repeat: STOCK FOOTAGE! As in everything we see of him is from other Godzilla movies. Not only that, they have to make Godzilla's son talk. Not only that, they had to give him to most unfitting goofy cartoon voice for him too. The reason that I didn't give this movie a 1 is because Godzilla is still fun to watch, even if it was seen before, because lets be honest, Godzilla playing rock volleyball with a giant lobster never gets old. So watch it for a good laugh at the bad voice acting and horrendously dull plot, but if your a Godzilla fan, stay away, it will crush your appreciation for the series
