DVD Reviews of Invasion of Astro-Monster (aka Monster Zero)

DVD Review: Invasion of Astro-Monster
Summary: 2 Stars

Not bad for the mid 1960's, but comes off poorly against Toho's more recent productions.

DVD Review: Childhood revisited, only better
Summary: 5 Stars

When I was a child i only had my parents' word as to whether or not certain films were worth watching. Godzilla, the original b&w classic, was apparently my mother's favorite. i watched it with certain degrees of enthusiasm. Later my enthusiasm grew when one of the local stations in my town started showing these classic films on Saturday afternoons. With my dad watching them with me, talking for the monsters so that I knew what they were saying (and believe me they were very foul mouthed towards each other), I fell in love with these. As i got older, I learned more of the histories behind these classics, and soon became a huge fan wanting not only the movies, but the chance to watch them in their original japanese to see what differences there were.

All I can say is that another American made it into this film to star along with the Japanese. The villains are poorly dressed, have Elton John sized sunglasses, all look the same, and are hell bent on making sure that they never really get around to telling the truth. It involves Rodan, Godzilla, Ghidorah, and of course, mind control.

I won't reveal plots, talk about acting, glorify the use of minatures, because you need to see these movies in order to appreciate them fully. I paid a miniscule price for a lifetime of fond memories and highly reccommend adding this movie to your collection.

DVD Review: Invasion of Astro-Monster
Summary: 4 Stars

My friend Stuart Galbrath IV (Steve Ryfle who interviewed me for Shock Cinema Magazine United States "Black Actress On The Make!" Fall 2000) sent me a copy of the 1965 "Invasion of Astro-Monster" which he did the audio commentary for the 2008 re-release. The film stars Nick Adams ("The Rebel" 1959-1961 Television Series with Johnny Cash singing the title song "The Ballad of Johnny Yuma) Akira Kubo, Kumi Mizuno, and Harvo Nakajima. "Invasion of Astro-Monster (Monster Zero)" which puts me in mind of the 1954-1955 classic Flash Gordon Television Series is a must see for true Godzilla fans.

DVD Review: Great Godzilla Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Just as I remember the movie when I was young. Perfect condition DVD. A must for any Godzilla lovers collection.

Description of Invasion of Astro-Monster (aka Monster Zero)

(Sci-Fi) Invasion of Astro-Monster/Godzilla vs. Monster Zero -- Aliens from Planet X borrow our monsters for a little extermination project, but they've got something else up their sleeves: world domination! Using mind-control technology, these vinyl-and-sunglasses wearing spacemen turn Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah loose in Japan, demanding Earth's surrender! It's up to American astronaut F. Glenn, his galaxy-trotting buddy Fuji, and nerdy inventor Tetsuo to break the aliens' hold on the monsters and save our planet from certain doom.
