As Good As It Gets

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

With a giant monster movie, you really only need a good-looking monster and some fun action sequences to make me happy. Yet, not many of the movies I've seen in this genre ended up being much fun. Here is one that I enjoyed for the most part. It is cheaply made and has laughable acting, dialog, and special effects. It would be one of the worst movies ever for someone expecting a straight up adventure film. For fans of b-movies and camp classics, it has its moments.The movie starts out with some routine exposition, but once the monster gets going, it delivers. The look of the monster is pretty goofy, but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The facial expressions the actor uses are just so crazy, especially his often-used sad puppy dog face. He becomes protective of two children, but gets tangled in the crossfire of two companies battling for supremacy (I forget which industry the companies are involved in, but obviously something with a stake in 50-foot cavemen). The movie is most fun when the Yeti is allowed to be destructive. It's hard to imagine a movie getting made today in which a giant monster would be showed stepping on the bad guys. There was also a good tease at the end that looked like the Yeti would meet a tragic end as a result of not belonging in the modern world. I liked the fact that the movie didn't end predictably and the Yeti was allowed to return to nature. The final shot of the Yeti superimposed over images of giant ice flows falling apart was an appropriately crazy was to end this out-of-control mess. Except for several stretches that were fairly slow, the movie was worth the watch. Although it is not a well made movie, as many IMDb reviewers have pointed out, there are those of us who will find it entertaining.

I was around 7 when I saw this movie first. It wasn't so special then,but a few years later I saw it again and that time it made fun,a lot:)I think the best parts of the film are: Yeti's body language and the 'special effects ' also.If you wanna watch this movie ,don't wait for a Hollywood made blockbuster,even this film was made from approx. 1000 dollars :) I've a copy of it.Movie and video version as well(But I don't think it had been ever shown in cinemas)Watch it,enjoy it!!!Yeti for ever!!!

Very poorly dubbed Italian babe befriends unfrozen Giant.This 1977 film is a director's tour de farce. It is one of the worst films ever made. Finding that out was a sublime pleasure which only z-movie afficianados can appreciate. The only reason that this film hasn't been on MST3K yet is that they would probably be rendered speechless. Nothing need be added to keep the laughs coming.I hardly know what else to say. You will be literally dazed by the less than special effects, crappy storyline, and bad sets which make up the crazy world of YETI!

People forget that there have been several King Kong ripoffs- Congo, King Kong Vs. Godzilla, King Kong (1976), they all ripoff one another, but YETI stands on its own. It only borrows one element from King Kong and that is the animal's attraction with one female.The YETI myth is based on Bigfoot (not like King Kong)and archeologists have been fascinated it, at one time they did exist,but there is no scientific data to prove it.This movie is hard to find ,but its worth watching it. The first time I watched it was on "Elvira's Mistress of the Dark Shows" in the early 1980's. It sent chills down my spine as a kid, especially when the YETI got mad. I saw it again, around 1:00am on ABC about 2 to 3yrs ago. Seeing it again made me appreciate it more, it has some overall good effects (for its time) and the story involves a mute boy and his dog, and an evil businessman person who wants to kill the YETI for his own purposes. Also the music is pretty cool,its very YETI like. :-)Gianfranco Parolini and the Yetians creates a great monster like atmosphere.Vote 7 and half out of 10.
