Review – Destroy All Monsters

Well, if we have to destroy all of them at least we’ve got the whole crowd in the same place. Our story begins with Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and a peck of other rubber suits only die-hard fans of Japanese city-smashers have ever heard of all walled up together on an island somewhere. Enter the evil women from an asteroid who stick transmitters in the monsters’ heads and mind-control them into attacking the world’s major cities. I guess you can kinda tell the caliber of the city based on the monster that smashes it: New York gets Godzilla himself, Moscow rates Rodan, but Paris just gets a big, warty thing. Eventually our intrepid, macho astronaut defenders figure out a way to beat the transmitters, and the monsters turn on their brain-washers. Enter Ghidara to take them all on in the final Texas Death Cage tag-team free-for-all. As Godzilla movies from the 70s go, this is actually one of the better ones. Mildly amusing
