Destroy All Monsters

Whats in a name? EVERYTHING when B-movie night rolls around. If you are going to make a B movie, and you KNOW it will be bad, the trick to get people to see it is all in the name. I mean even if you have a decent, but not well known movie, and name it 'The Gentle Delights of a European Winter,' you might as well tar and feather yourself. But if you have a BAD movie and name it Destroy All Monsters, if nothing else we at AP will come across it and gladly slap down $1.50 to rent it! Destroy All Monsters was actually in suit with the Godzilla movies. All the monsters from all the previous Godzilla flicks have been captured and put on an island that has affectionatly been named, Monster Island. Our first concern was that these monsters could easily fly or wander off the island back to civilization, but the movie brought those worries to a dead end. You see, the monsters cannot escape, the island is surrounded by "walls of science." No joke, that is their real name. BUT WAIT! Our concerns were not in vein! Not even the walls of science can hold back an army of rubbery monsters! The cast is all too familiar, even including that little Japanese kid from the other movies. Yeah, you know the one. You might not remember his face off hand, but if you have seen any of the other movies, you will distinctly remember a deep sense of annoyance. Thats him. He just runs around makes an idiot of himself. We tend to believe there is some sort of parallel between him, and Godzillas stupid green ape child. The movie was not all around awful, but if anything, it was downright hypocritcal. For a title of Destroy All Monsters, it was blatent disapointement when NONE of the monsters were destroyed! Except the 3 headed golden dragon from outerspace, but he doesn't count. © 2005 actionplant.com. all rights reserved.
