Film Review: Destroy all monsters

Image result for destroy all monsters

Release date: August 1st 1968 (Japan release), May 23rd 1969 (American release).

Story: All of Earths kaijus have been gathered and placed on an island located in the Ogasawara island chain. Godzilla, Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Baragon, Varan, Gorosaurus, Manda, and Kumonga (a.k.a Spiga) are now living peacefully on the island until an alien race named the Kilaaks take over the minds of the monsters and let them loose on major cities. Can the people of Earth find a way of defeating the aliens and therefor stop them from controlling the monsters? Watch the film and find out.

My thoughts: This is the third Godzilla movie I have ever seen. It may be slow when the humans are on screen but the kaiju action is great. The final fight against King Ghidorah is also amazing. But the only downside to this is the fact that not all monsters are present in this. Baragon and Varan only appear at the very end of the movie and they including Manda (even though he appears attacking cities) do not take part in the final fight. But over all it is a great movie and I would highly recommend given it a watch. Fun fact this was supposed to be the final Godzilla film in the Showa series.

My score: Four stars.
