Summary: A classic.
Review: This entry in the classic G-series featured the return of Director Ishiro Honda and composer Akira Ifukube. As such, it marked a return to the high quality that was somewhat diminished in the two previous films, G. vs. the Sea Monster and Son of G.. Now on video after too long on the shelf of VHS obscurity, DAM is a classic sci-fi treat for fans of all ages. The spfx are inventive and well-executed, the direction is assured, the acting, in spite of the dubbing, is excellent, and the music of Ifukube is simply amazing. In short, this film has what most big-budget Hollywood "product" doesn't; HEART!! Buy this film. You won't be disappointed!! END

Summary: Destroy all Monsters is the best
Review: All the Earth's kaiju are sent to Monster Island to live. Evil aliens release them and send them on a rampage. A must for any fans of old Sci-Fi movies. An all star monster cast. Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Ghidrah, and all of your favorites. END

Summary: You have to admit, this one has them ALL!
Review: Oh, how well I remember this one from a Saturday afternoon way back when! "Destroy All Monsters" is the ultimate Japanese monster movie that makes good on its promise to offer up every creature in this pantheon: Godzilla, Rodan, Gidrah, Mothra, Bagara, Spidrah, Minilla and Manda. There are so many monsters in this movie that there are some I have never seen before, and I thought I had seen more than my fair share of monster flicks from the Land of the Rising Sun. The excuse for the non-stop mayhem is that a sinister race of aliens is using Earth's own monsters to destroy every capital in the world (e..g, Godzilla takes out NYC). The only chance for the human race is for the United Nations Star Ship Moonlight SYS (you have to love the name) to locate the secret hidden base of the Kilaks, which is somewhere on the moon. If they can break the control of the aliens over the monsters, Earth has a chance! This 1968 film from director Ishiro Honda is letterboxed and dubbed in English (of course; would you have it any other way?). "Destroy All Monsters" certainly jams more destruction by guys in monster suits (or monsters suspended by wires) than any film you will ever come across. Sooner or later, if you are a fan of this genre, you have to check this one out.

Summary: One of the better Showa Godzilla flicks
Review: One of my favorite G flicks of his early years. The artwork/movie descriptions are sort of misleading, making one thing this is a huge monster fest. Yes, there are quite a few monsters in the movie, only a few actually have more than a minute of screen time. The final battle is basically Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and Gorosaurus Vs Ghidorah, with the other monsters as the audience. At any rate, i still like the film. I'm a sucker for aliens in the Godzilla flicks (i'm glad they are making a come back in the upcoming "Godzilla: Final Wars"), though the beings in this film aren't as interesting as the Devo aliens in Monster Zero!
The dvd itself is disappointing. This disc is about bare bones as a dvd can get. I heard conflicting reports whether this is ADV's or Toho's fault. There is no menu and no chapter stops! just like a VHS, pop it in and it plays. Want to see a certain scene, you have to fast forward it. The newly released "Special Edition" version of this film is the same as this disc, but with different coverart and a soundtrack cd. Besides that, the video transfer is decent and it is letterbox. Audio is the english dub, which isn't as bad as some make it out to be.

Summary: Fun movie -- very bad dubbing
Review: For the 50th anniversary of Godzilla, we have a special relelease of Destroy All Monsters on DVD. This in itself is good, and an added attraction is that there's a second disc -- a CD of the soundtrack. But there are two downsides: -- there are no special featuers -- not even a theatrical trailer. -- the dub is the poorly acted recent dub from a few years ago. The original dub is not great (what dubs are? Why, oh, why, don't they also offer subtitled versions), this one is very poorly acted, more so that usual even for these types of films. Overall, I'd still recommend this to Godzilla fans (and I've been one since seeing King Kong vs. Godzilla in its original US showing at the drive-in when I was a kid), but it could have been so much better.

Summary: MY FAVORITE MONSTERS
Review: Great movie,dvd lacks menu and chapter stops as the others have said...the version was dubbed MANY years ago in this fashion, not recently.The AIP dub is what is considred to be the best, but the film had to be released in this International Dubbing because Toho still owns the rights to this dub.The recent releases of Son of Godzilla, Godzila vs Hedorah are the International dubs also.

Summary: Very Impresive!!!
Review: I know this is a great movie and a pretty good DVD as well. But one thing is still wrong. THE DUBBING. This version has the lame (but admittadly not awful) international dub track done in Japan.
The American International version from 1969 had far superior
dubbing done in New York by Titra/Titan sound and featured
the voices of Peter (SPEED RACER) Fernandes, Jack Curtis and
Hal Linden amoung others. This is a tragic loss. The dialogue and
acting were so much better. What a shame.

Review: This is the 9th film in the series.
All the monsters are seen on an island. Godzilla and his adpoted son, Rodan, Angilas, Mothra and Gorosaurus are all there.
Godzilla gets angry and makes his way to New York City, USA. Eventually he makes his way to Tokyo. Rodan is destroying Moscow, Russia. Mothra is sliding through Peking, China. Manda is in London, England. They all get together in Tokyo.
Meanwhilw, the Army has some Kilaaks to deal with. The kilaaks have a secret headquartewrs on Monster Island. They control the monsters. Later on, we have all together on Monster Island, Godzilla and his adopted son, Mothra, Anguilas, Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus, Spiga, King Ghidorah, Kumunga and Varan.
Surprise: A flying object comes to help.
The next film in the series: Godzilla's Revenge.

Summary: Great Godzilla movie, horrible DVD
Review: Why the DVD has no chapter selection is beyond me, but lets talk about the film. In 1999, aliens take over the minds of all the Toho monsters and begin destroying major cities all around the world, until the human characters find a way to break the spell. That results in a all out battle with King Ghidora. Great Godzilla movie!
