DVD Reviews of Monster X Strikes Back
DVD Review: "MONSTER X" a MONSTER DUD!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I love japanese monster flicks, and when I heard about another Guilala movie i couldn't wait to see this. Boy, I could have waited for this one!!
A very failed attempt at satire and parody, "Monster X Strikes Back" could have been a real gem if it had been done right. Not the case here!
During a summit meeting in Japan, a Chinese rocket crashes and the resulting explosion creates the monster Guilala, who promptly goes on the typical rampage. The beginning of his " rampage" is mostly stock footage from the original Guilala movie, (X From Outer Space, here in the States), and the new footage is mostly in the second half and basically consists of the monster standing in an open valley and a "rampage' through some power lines. The "new" Guilala does look just like the old except for its red claws, and still makes basically the same sound as the original with some screechy sounds added in.
Film follows the failed attempts of different world emissaries in combatting the monster. The actors portraying these leaders are all terrible, even though they do speak in their proper languages.
This could have been better if they had focused more on thre monster action, but instead it is a talky, drawn out and very UN funny fiasco.
There is a surprise revelation of one of the characters, and a Majin type character at the end which may or may not be a nod to Daiei's highly impressive Daimajin character, which this one does not rival at all, plus it TALKS> The final "battle" between Guilala and this "Take-majin" is unimpressive.
It may have been intentional that the movie seems so bad, but it doesn't work as a "good" bad movie, it is just a BAD bad movie!!
Stick with "The X From Outer Space"!!!!
