Summary: An awesome movie for Godzilla fans
Review: This movie is great! First aliens start controlling the monsters and people agianst the planet. Then the astronots destroy the control and send the earth monsters against the base at Mt. Fuji. Now King Ghidorah has come to protect the base and now it's like around 9 monsters against King Ghidorah, what will happen next? I liked Anguiras in this movie, He was really brave in this movie unlike in Godzilla vs. Gigan. I also liked Mothra and Kumonga both using their web attacks on King Ghidorah. Baragon nor Rodan seemed to help in the fight though. You have got to see this movie!

Summary: Destroy all Monsters, I think they mean Destroy this DVD!!
Review: WHAT!! No Extras!! Now don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, but that isn't the reson I rated it **. Heck, it doesn't have a menu, or a scene selection! What a way to spoil a good movie. That stinks! Buy it on video, even though it is no different then the DVD! But at least the video has previews/trailers before the feature.

Summary: Take that, aliens!
Review: This is a must see movie! When the monsters get controlled, they attack the world and an alien race is trying to rule the Earth! But Tokyo has one trick up it's sleeve.

Summary: What is it with aliens and silver jumpsuits??
Review: Godzilla nukes New York! Mothra blasts Beijing! Rodan levels Moscow! It's all there, folks. Man alive, does this one bring back memories of after-school movies on TV in the mid-70s. Featuring eleven Toho monsters, including a few strange ones like Gorosaurus the T-rex wannabe and Manda the really big newt, this one is lots of fun for the whole family. (My kids love it in a "Dad is so weird" kind of way.) As mentioned by other reviewers, this ADV Films edition has NO MENU AND NO CHAPTER STOPS! A drag, yes. But it sounds great. And the widescreen presentation looks sharp, considering this flick dates back to 1968. And the price is right. If you're a seasoned Godzilla fan, go for it. Newbies should start off with something like Godzilla 2000 or Godzilla vs Mothra. Let's give it up for the dudes in rubber suits!

Summary: What a terrible way to treat a classic!
Review: Destroy All Monsters is the ultimate monster movie as we get no less than 11 giant monsters duke it out although most of them are confined to cameo roles. But anyone reading these reviews and thinking about buying the film on DVD already knows this, right? So let's look at the DVD instead.As someone has so rightly stated in a previous review, this DVD is pretty appalling. First the positives - the transfer looks pretty good for an old foreign film and the widescreen letterbox format does the battle scenes justice. You get even more monster carnage than you'd have seen on TV! But now here is the moaning - the lack of basic extras. I usually take interactive menus and scene selection for granted when buying DVDs but even those aren't present here. So if, like me, you wanted to skip the talk and get to the giant monster fights then you have to go through the entire film slowly! I was playing this through a PS2 using DVD Region X. If you've used the PS2 to play DVDs, you'll know that it only searches very slowly - in fact it's probably quicker to watch the film in normal time! So this was a big disappointment. The dubbing on this DVD is the same version that we've been getting on TV and VHS for years here in the UK so that didn't bother me. This is the only DVD version of the film I could get so I'm grateful that at least I own this gem of a monster flick. But it's an appalling DVD and a real kick in the teeth to anyone who loves the film.

Summary: DESTROY ALLL MONSTERS! BEST (almost) ZILLA EVER!
Review: When Toho is hitting on all cylinders, this film company can produce some very engaging cinema. That is just what happens in "Destroy all Monsters". Excellent plot, suspense, acting, music and effects. You just get wrapped up in a hour and half of kaiju geeky goodness. Like the best Godzilla films, "Destroy all Monsters" has an effortless consistency to its story world. Nothing may be true, but everything makes sense. You get a very high tech feel from a somewhat low tech film. Most of the acting crew are Godzilla veterans, so the pitch is just right. Events move along at a snappy pace and are arranged cleverly enough to get the novice kaiju fan's feet wet, but still satisfy the hard core kaiju fan's need for monster action. You can overdose on all the giant monster goodness found in this film. Overall, a cleverly done science fiction space/monster opera with a good story and a happy ending.

Summary: Three stars for Godzilla is the best i can do
Review: There are movies then there are Godzilla movies. While personally i find a facination with Godzilla movies i cannot bring myself to tell people they are 5 star works of art. This one is typical of the Godzilla films of the era (pre 1985). The sci-fi story behind the monsters attacking the world is the good part of this one and most of the Godzilla films. You get alien babes, space flight, and cool weapons to fight giant monsters. Keep in mind that in Godzilla movies, nothing is to fantastic to be true. Just go with it and enjoy.

Summary: An all MON-STAR cast!!!
Review: This movie is one of my favorites! Lots of monsters, a decent story (for the genre,) and lots funny cardboard buildings and toy tanks. My only complaint is that I wanted some of the monsters to have more screen time. When will the makers of these movies realize that all audiences want is a good monster fight and a few useless characters to trample!?! Does anybody seriously watch these for the story-lines!?!

Summary: Spectacular
Review: This film, Destroy All Monsters, is definitely one of the greatest films of the Godzilla series. Though the plot is kind of cheesy, and Godzilla's son is just plain stupid, the film's final battle makes up for it, featuring eleven officially licensed Toho monsters (Godzilla, Rodan, Angilas, Mothra larva, Spiega, Gorosaurus, Baragon, Varan, Manda, King Ghidorah, and unfortunately, Minya) in one scene. Sadly, Baragon, Varan, and Manda are left out of the action, and you see them only for like three seconds apiece (except Manda, who attacks Tokyo with Godzilla). It's also really cool that each monster destroys a different capital city of the world. Even though so many monsters battle Ghidorah, Godzilla, Angilas and Gorosaurus do practically all the work. My favorite scene is when Ghidorah just drops dead, overwhelmed by the monsters' power (yes, he is killed in this movie, but remember, it is 1999, which is supposedly after all of the other films). Best of all, this movie inspired a Godzilla fighting game for GameCube, featuring nearly all of the monsters in this film, called: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee.

Summary: Unbelivable
Review: This film has a story that is nonsense, about Aliens called Kilaaks and they come to controll all monsters and take over the world. The Kilaaks where horrorable costumes. Godzilla acts as a friend, and the monster are nice. The only thing good in this movie is the destruction, there is every monster to date in that movie, only monsters from Godzilla series. And the film has good special Effects.
