This movie is just so enjoyably bad. This is a film that knows it's cheap and leans into it hard. But for the kind of film they're making fun of, that cheapness works. The cartoony sexism, the bad puns, the cliche dialogue, it all works perfectly within the cheap sci-fi genre that inspired the movie. The blatantly low budget suit on the monster has got to be my personal favorite. His goofy eyes and obvious zipper are honestly hilarious when you see him moving around and doing things like playing football with a zeppelin. And every actor really gives their all to the stupidity and bless them for it. I would take this over something like "Epic Movie" or "Disaster Movie" any day. The filmmakers took their microscopic budget and ran with it in a way that is sure to please people like me that appreciate old-school fifties science fiction films that take themselves too seriously. Not for everyone, but definitely worth watching if you can appreciate something that is just utterly goofy by design.
I know there will be people that will say I'm nuts for giving this 8 stars. Here's the thing, this is a fun ride!!!!! Its everything you can want from a Godzilla parody and it's a pretty self aware flick. It knows it's not a big budget block buster and it runs with it. (Although it should get an Oscar for best use of green army men in a motion picture.) Let's be honest, it's not going to be for everyone. But if you want to watch a fun flick that's actually funny and well written you can't go wrong here. Seriously check it out, grab a bowl of popcorn, have a beer, sit back and enjoy. It'll be worth it.
I loved the movie. It had the right balance of parody and over the top acting. I was laughing all the way though it.
This was an extremely cheap and low budget spoof so I wasn't expect much, but man is the "humor" and acting in this just real cringeworthy. There was only one visual gag with a train that was interesting but most of the stuff was very obvious and too on the nose. And for a supposed monster movie, most of it deals with the scientist's story which is quite boring and uninteresting. Lord wonders when actual good spoof movies make a comeback.
It's a bit of a chuckle movie rather than a laugh fest. Props and acting are daggy, just as you would expect. Had the potential to be much better, but they settled for just made it. Definitely worth the watch.
