    I remember really enjoying the human story quite a lot as a kid. Had more action and suspense than I was used to seeing in Godzilla vs. Megalon or the Sea Monster, and especially Revenge of Godzilla. My early childhood collection was the small number of VHS we got as gifts, so at the time this seemed awesome. Will have to revisit this classic soon and probably laugh at the plot, but either way I agree it's an absolute classic

    The trailer for Destroy All Monsters was on television when I was a little boy. I had no idea it was a Japanese film and it was the first time I saw a Godzilla, but I didn’t recognize him. I was too impressed with the scenes of city destruction and monster mayhem to even care. When the offscreen narrator says, “Now playing at a theater near you! Don’t miss it!”
    I didn’t have the money to go to the movies at that time. But I was very fortunate to see DAM on television late one night and again on a Saturday afternoon on WPIX-11. It is one of my favorite Godzilla movies. Godzilla looked great in this film. Akira Ifukube’s score was very memorable.

    Growing up few films gave me as much pleasure as Destroy All Monsters. It was like Jurassic Park, Independence Day and Star Wars rolled into one. Your criticisms are certainly valid. However the thin characterizations were obviously pared down to ensure the film moved at a rapid foregrounding action and spectacle. In a way it anticipates Michael Bay's strategy with the Transformers films only with considerably more charm. As you say the tone is celebratory.

    • @GDukeRaptor
      @GDukeRaptor 3 года назад +1

      The monsters weren't controlled on Monster Land by humanity, they had only managed to contain them and have proper preventative measures in place to keep them from escaping.
      The gas was able to drive the monsters who couldn't fly back onto the island while there was an electromagnetic dome around the island that prevented Varan and Rodan (and eventually Mothra if she cocooned) from leaving.
      The monsters after defeating Ghidorah and the Kilaaks went back to Monster Land of their own accord.

    I found Destroy All Monsters to be entirely underwhelming and actually liked the fight in Ghidora: the Three Headed Monster better. I'm glad this wasn't really the end as that would have been a poor send off.

  • @KiddingCell
    @KiddingCell 4 года назад +1

    Honestly I don't think this would've been the best Send Off to Godzilla. It's not bad by any stretch but it is far from the best Godzilla movie. One of the films biggest problems are the human characters. They are very dull and unfortunately they get a lot of screentime, also the fact that some monsters only get a couple brief cameos, also Minilla is even worse in this movie, and the biggest criticism of this film however is that even though the film is called Destroy All Monsters none of the monsters even get a lot of screentime and there isn't even a lot of monster action. What does truly saves the film though from being a bore is the action. While this film doesn't have a lot of action, the action it does have is really really good, the special effects also has some amazing special effects. Especially the scene where Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Manda attack Tokyo. The music is definitely great as well and the film has one of the best fights in the entire framchise, the fight where all the monsters gang up on King Ghidorah. And while the fight is only about 5 minutes, those 5 minutes are definitely the best part of the movie. So while great when focusing on the monsters, dull when focused on the humans. I will give this film a 6.7/10.

Baragon was mentioned but missing from the final battle, and then there was some wingless monster I am unfamiliar with who descends from the sky like a superhero before the big melee at the end and then isn't seen again until the very end, when it is shown taking off up into the sky again. Who was that and was this movie chopped up or something?

    The monster action is great, but I found the human scenes insufferably boring

    Some people say Final wars disrespected the legacy of Godzilla, but this one did it worse.
    Barely any Kaiju action for the so called "Final Godzilla movie" and it had bland human characters. This is the worst monster mash movie so far.

    I don't think it's severely lacking in storyline at all. I say you're dead wrong on that. DESTROY ALL MONSTERS is an awesome film👍. You are not 👎.
