Summary: Classic Godzilla, Bare Bones DVD
Review: Hey, this is a Godzilla flick, right? You expect bad dubbing and horrible SFX. If you're buying the DVD though, be prepared... this is about as "no frills" as it gets. No menus, no extras, NO CHAPTERS!!! You pop it in, and it just starts playing. That's it. It's one big chapter. It's presented in widescreen though, which is a nice treat.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very bad dubbing
Review: The movie is the best by far of the Godzilla series. the only problem I had was with the new english dubbing...very corny, the old english dubbing was better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not As Good As I Remember
Review: I remembered seeing this flick as a boy and, for some reason, loving it.
As an adult, I bought the movie, eagerly only to be disappointed in the poor quality of it. The monsters make brief appearances until the end and, even then, it's still too brief.

The use of a rocker ship to travel everywhere, not just to outer space, is silly.
I suppose I've grown up and out of the appeal of this movie. But kids will enjoy it.
It's worth getting at a bargain sale.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Destroy All Monsters Review
Review: I think that Destroy All Monsters is the best old Godzilla movie they ever made. They have many monsters, including Godzilla, Rodan, Anguilus, Varan, Minya, King Ghidrah, Manda, Gorosaurus, Baragon, and Gorosaurus. Each monster attacks a major city of the world. Just to let you know.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Greatest Monster Fest Ever!
Review: I first saw Destroy All Monsters when I was 5 years old in the tiny theater in our small town in California. It was scary and fun and I have remembered the movie all this time. Now, many years later, I can look back at the movie and say, hey it was pretty good for its time. Sure, the effects are cheesy and some of the monster suits look really tattered and such, but where else are you going to see 11 of the greatest monsters ever get together in one big brawl! Good monster fighting action, I like the fact the movie starts in the future (1999, it was the future back then!) and shows us a world where space exploration is commonplace and the world's monsters have been kept at Monster Island for study. aliens want to take over the earth however, so they let the monsters loose and all heck breaks loose. My favorite moment is when Ghidorah shows up, that was really awesome back then and it is still really cool now. My only gripe with the DVD is that it is bare-bones with no extras or anything, I don't know if any still even exist for this movie but if they did I'd be the first one to buy it. If you're into Japanese monster movies, I'd highly recommend Destroy All Monsters.

Summary: THE ULTIMATE BATTLE ROYAL!
Review: Evil aliens from another galaxy called Killacks have a plot to destroy the world! They will do this by controling monsters like Godzilla, Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra, Baragon, Manda, etc. to destroy everything in their path! When this plan fails, the Killacks send King Ghidorah to destroy the world! But, the humans have taken control of the other monsters and the ultimate battle royal ensues! In the end, King Ghidorah is defeated, and the Killacks are destroyed. All the other monsters decide to live on an island called MonsterLand. THE END. This is one the best Godzilla films of all time. All the monsters were in there. It is VERY VERY VERY Good! Go get this movie and watch it. You won't regret it! ;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definately a must see!!!
Review: It's a mega monster mash!!! All of your favorite Toho monsters return to fight off alien invaders in what is widely considered to be one of the best Godzilla movies of all time. Godzilla attacks New York, Rodan; Moscow, Mothra; Bejing, Paris; Gorosaurus(Though in thi film it is blamed on Baragon. Bad dubbing?), and Manda; London. Then they converge to stomp Tokyo, and Baragon, Kumonga, Varan and Minya join in the fun. Then they fight Gidorah. With a fast pace and almost nonstop action, Destroy All Monsters has only one competidior, and that film is Godzilla Vs. King Gidorah.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like kaiju movies, you will love this one
Review: It's the year 1999, and although robots are not doing our laundry, we have managed to round up all the kaiju that ever terrorized Tokyo. Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and the rest of the monstrous bunch are locked safe and sound on an island in the South Pacific-until a bunch of badly dubbed aliens liberate them. Using mind control devices, they send Earth's monsters after major cities in the hope of pounding the humans into submission. If you like Toho monster movies, then I highly recommend this movie to you. When watched in widescreen dvd format, it's a real treat. Well, treat anyway.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
