    All Monsters Attack AKA Godzilla's Revenge is a very bad Godzilla film. Or at least, I thought it was when I first saw it during a marathon on TV some years ago. Watching it again, it's not a bad children's film, or even a bad portrait of post-war Japan and how a whole generation of kids had to deal with both parents working and the industrialization of their country. It's still a bad kaiju film though. Basically, the film follows a young boy, bullied by classmates, alone for long periods after school, and absurdly, kidnapped by bank robbers as part of the film's plot. He merely DREAMS of Godzilla, or really, of being friends with the so-called "Son of Godzilla" Minilla, a silly creature with which he views film clips from previous Godzilla movies (all fights, thankfully, though don't expect the 'zilla suit to be consistent from moment to moment), with some new material against one of the lamer monsters. Minilla must learn to fight (I basically want to scratch my eyes out whenever he's on screen), and that in turn teaches the kid to fight back against the crooks holding him. 10 years 3 months ago

    The best word to describe this movie would be "dorky." It relies heavily on stock footage, but even the goofy dreamlike effects, and Minilla shrinking/growing are fun. The child lead wasn't quite as annoying as I expected. Still pretty off-kilter and all over the place. I do enjoy seeing Minilla get his ass kicked on occasion. 1 year 2 months ago

    I expected it to be worse, I thought it was going to be a disastrous experience, but it was entertaining. Also, the reused material fits well in the film, that´s why it didn´t bother me as it did in Destroy All Monsters (a movie made almost entirely with reused scenes). I may have enjoyed it more because my expectations were very low, since many people consider it one of the worst Godzilla movies.
    I think it´s just mediocre, but it is good enough to be an introduction to Godzilla for kids.
