Summary: All Monsters Attack.....Ichiro!
Review: ...
Rating out of 5
"Godzilla's Revenge" gives us some of the most authentic scenes of everyday life seen in the Godzilla series to date. That's about all I can say good about this film. This story has no right to be a Godzilla film. "Godzilla's Revenge" can be described as a film where Godzilla meets Sesame Street. I cannot believe that Ishiro Honda directed this film. Or that Eiji Tsuburaya did the effects. I cannot believe I spent $20.00 dollars to purchase this. ... Little tip for you kids: If a film is really, really, REALLY bad; doesn't matter if you see it in VHS, SP taken from a laserdisc, the film stinks just as much.
"Godzilla's Revenge" has attained that special place of infamy. This is the WORST Godzilla film ever. It gets no worse than this. No words can do justice to the level of stupidity present in this film, it must be seen. But this warning: DO NOT buy this film, rent it and be enlightened to what I am saying. ... Another thing, the US changed this movie's title from "All Monsters Attack" to "Godzilla's Revenge" which confuses people into thinking it's zilla #2! Godzilla doesn't do ANY revenging in this movie! ALL MONSTERS ATTCK!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fairly good children's Godzilla movie.
Review: A Godzilla movie that examines the Big G's positive impact on a child? Well that is what Godzilla's Revenge is all about. Just what the title refers to is beyond me, Ichiro's Revenge would be better. Sourpuss fans expecting a 'real' Godzilla movie best look elsewhere, Godzilla stays firmly in the land of child's fantasy in this outing. About the only thing adult viewers will find of interest are how the crooks on the loose subplot resembles portions of Home Alone. Very interesting. Highly recommended for children and the child within.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Godzilla's Nightmare
Review: a.k.a Oru Kaiju Daishingeki: All Monsters Attack! This movie has little to do with Godzilla, except for appearances in a boy's dream.

The boy dreams he sees Godzilla and his son, Minya. Godzilla is teaching Minya how to fight. It's supposed to be heart-warming and funny, but it's just painful to witness. The boy learns from Minya to be courageous and resourceful and, in doing so, defeats a pair of foolish criminals. It's sorta like Home Alone, without Joe Pesci or M Culkin -- and it's hard to sit through this one, even for Godzilla fans.

Here's what you need to know:
Godzilla's Revenge has gained distinction by being ranked as one of the worst films of all time for its shameless use of stock footage. The new footage consists of a fight with Giberah, but this new kaiju is lame and looks hastily produced. Not enough Godzilla, too much Minya. One star seems harsh, so...two stars for you, Minya.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What did we do to deserve Godzilla's Revenge?!
Review: Although the title to this -um- movie is pretty cool, the movie falls about 20 light years short of living up to it's name. With the actors that made the other Godzilla actors look like Acadamy Award winners and monster scenes from other movies horribly edited in, this waste of film looks more like "Godzilla meets the Power Rangers". It's a wonder that after the wrath of "the big guy" there were any more Godzilla's made.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie for LITTLE kids
Review: From an adult or older child's perspective this movie might deserve one star, but my four year old boys love it. They have watched it dozens of times since their Uncle Randy gave it to them during the holidays. For us that is the real test as to whether or not it is a good KIDS movie- do MY kids watch it and enjoy it? And yes, they do.

One of my boys is more sensitive than the other about "scary stuff" (he still doesn't want to watch Monsters Inc). He didn't find this movie to be too scary or intense, but it still keeps his interest, and it keeps the interest of my other son who isn't as sensitive. I think this was a good introduction into Godzilla movies for them (and remember, folks, this is a GODZILLA movie- it will have cheesy SE, dialogue, and plot. That's what makes them so great...).

There are several good messages in the movie. In the end Ichiro stands up to his bully just like Minya does. The bad guys get caught by the police. The fact that Ichiro doesn't get to spend much time with his parents is a good topic to discuss. It can help our boys develop empathy for other children who don't get to spend as much time with their mom and dad as they do. Hopefully it will teach them to have empathy for any child who doesn't "fit in" just like Ichiro didn't.

This movie might not be enjoyable for some older children and adults. I think Godzilla's Revenge is best suited for four to seven year olds; although, my husband and I can sit through it with the boys just fine.

Summary: Kiddie stuff
Review: Godzilla went from destroying cities and killing people, to helping his son fight rubber monsters. To bad this movie is just a kids dream. I'd say it was a waste of money, but half the movie is stock footage from the old godzilla movies.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Godzilla's Revenge (1969) Sony 2002 release.
Review: Godzilla's Revenge (1969)(Sony 2002) 2/5
The picture is quite clear without much damage but the clips from other movies are lower quality than the new footage, the colour is okay to, pretty much it is an okay print not bad but not great. It is not in it's original widescreen format either. It shows some signs of compression. The frame rate is 24 fields 24 frames this improves on the King of the Monsters dvd as that was done in 30 frames with a frame doubled every 4. The same 'extras' as King of the Monsters which are the advert for the tie-in GameCube game and another 5.1 remix which makes everything sound like it's in a bathroom.
Good Points: It has a little fun animated menu, it also has quite a few chapters at good points.
Bad Points:It hasn't been remastered or restored, it's not in widescreen, ....
The rating above is for this DVD not the film, I rated it 2 stars because it is watchable as a bog standard version of the movie but more dedicated fans should save their money for a future release.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Godzilla's Revenge
Review: Godzilla's Revenge was not a good Godzilla movie. He did not come to destroy the city and they did not show much of Godzilla. This movie was very boring. The only thing good about this movie was Godzilla's son. I would never spend my money to buy this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Godzilla Movie Ever
Review: I can tell you I'm a huge fan of Godzilla. I can deal with the strange plot (some may call it original). I can tolerate the movie being geared toward a younger audience. I can not find any action or excitement in this odd film. I can't understand why this was shipped to the United States. I can hit the power button on my VCR. I can not suggest getting this.
