Summary: The fight scene....rules
Review: Ok people. I really love the fight scene in this movie. Sure, the rest of the movie was only semi-entertaining, but the grand finale had the best monster of all time, King Ghidorah(The original, alien version) versus at least 10 of Earth's own radioactive monsters. I would buy this movie for the final fight scene ALONE! Widescreen? YES! I'm in heaven! This movie is NOT for everyone and most people say it is "Stupid".....but if you are a TRUE fan......then just watch the final fight scene! Japanese Monster Movies rule!

Summary: The Best Godzilla Movie Ever.
Review: Destroy All Monsters is a great movie. I liked the story. I thought it was very good and pushed the useual barriers down when it comes to other less successful Godzilla movies. All of the major Japaneese Monsters are in the story, and they have a fantastic battle climax with King Ghidrah. Forget the 1998 Godzilla movie. The real Godzilla can be found in Destroy All Monsters.As for the DVD, I give it poor reviews. There are no extra features, the picture and sound quality are not of a good quality, the dubbing is really poor, and it has the look of a DVD film print that was put together very quickly. I would like it if Tri-Star Home Video got to do a new DVD of Destroy All Monsters. Giving a new picture and sound quality to it. Doing better Dubbing voice work, and adding features like a theater trailer and production data on how the movie was done. I belive the best Godzilla film ever made deserves that treatment.

Summary: The Godzilla WWW Blast Bash!
Review: If you like cheesy japanese monster movies with scattered plot lines and absolutely no regard for physics; this DVD is for you! I loved it as a kid and had even more fun seeing it as an adult. A great geek bash disc!On the downside; it is an average DVD release. There are no chapter skips for those snacktime pauses. In addition, the dubbed voices aren't the original dubbed voices, but, hey, they're still out of sync. ^_^ Recommended for all hardcore Godzilla fans, but only four stars for the average DVD quality.

Summary: 5 star movie, 1 star DVD edition
Review: This was the best of Toho's monster flicks from the 60's. Destroy all Monsters is a battle royale featuring all your favorites; Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Barugon, Ghidrah and more. Evil aliens attack the earth, cities are leveled, tanks are squashed, roman candles are fired at rubber monster suited guys smashing their way through miniature cities, and it's it's all in vivid colorful widescreen TOHOSCOPE! Now THAT'S entertainment. My only complaint are with the DVD itself, not the movie. The old familiar AIP version from the 60's had a completely different cast of voice dubbing actors, actors I recognized from many other Toho flicks of the era. Because of this, the DVD has loses much of its' nostalgic appeal. The new dialogue is also much stiffer and corny than the original AIP version. There are no extras on this DVD either, not even a chapter search. To view a particular scene, you must speed through the entire movie! Unacceptable. This bargain basement edition is a poor way to present a classic movie such as this. I'll stick to my VHS copy taped off tv 15 years ago.

Summary: Entertaining monster mayhem.
Review: Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and just about every other monster from the pre-70's Japanese city-stomping films join forces to take on the three-headed King Ghidorah. As a curio or light entertainment this is great. But somebody looking for serious sci-fi ought to look elsewhere. The main problem with this film is the dubbed voices, many of which sound like the vocalists were treating the whole thing as a complete joke. Though the film doesn't have the dark atmosphere or thought-provoking undertones of the earlier Godzillas, it's still one of the best and most watchable of the campier films of the series, and fans of monsters will certainly have a field-day.

Summary: Panic in the year 1999!
Review: Here it is...the Holy Grail of all Godzilla movies! Once an elusive treasure, Destroy All Monsters is finally available in a nicely done, letterboxed videocassette. It stands as the pinnacle of achievement for the Honda/Tsubaraya/Arikawa/Ifukube/Tanaka team. Their ingenuity and inventiveness in the face of crippling economic times puts most big-budget filmmakers to shame. The scope and variety of the effects alone deserve applause. Contrary to uninformed opinion, making Godzilla films is not an easy thing to do. The story moves along briskly and, in spite of the dubbing, the performances work well. Let's get one thing straight right now; dubbing is NOT the fault of the Japanese filmmakers! So, let's give criticism where criticism is due, shall we? This film is a classic that will endure long after the latest bloated blockbuster is mildewing at the bottom of a dumpster.

Summary: King Gidorah is dead, LONG DIE THE KING!
Review: The monster fight at the end makes the movie worthwhile. The best part about this movie is that KING GHIDORAH DIES! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Too bad he had to be resurected in Godzilla vs. Gigan.

Summary: Great Godzilla movie, but dvd has flaws!
Review: The movie, of course, was great. So many monsters on screen at one time. It truly is one of the best Gojira pix to come out of Japan. The widescreen presentation on DVD preserves the integrity of the film. However, take note. The DVD has flaws! No main menu, no chapter stops, no theatrical trailer, no nothing! No bells and whistles of any kind! The least they should have done was to include chapter stops so you can go right to the action and jump past the cheesy dubbed dialog. Also, having no main menu means the movie plays over and over again until you press "stop". Stupid! The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of five is the way they put it out on DVD.

Summary: Yes, it IS widescreen
Review: Despite the fact that the info says it is standard screen format, this is indeed the NEW dvd re-release by ADV that gives you widescreen. ADV realized their error by releasing it originally in standard, but this proves that they do listen to fans. The new widecreen dvd version of this classic Godzilla movie is a MUST for all fans of the genre.

Summary: It *is* Widescreen.
Review: The recent news from ADV is that this movie *is* widescreen, so don't believe that other review, he posted before finding out the final word on this, and that's what happens sometimes.
