So..........Monster X Strikes Back.....mmmph

Fri Aug 7, 2009, 8:21 PM
  • Mood: Lazy
  • Watching: Outer Limits
  • Drinking: Cola
So i watched this film today, among other ones like Dragonball Evolution and Coraline (Coraline was freaking amazing and DBE....while not complete crap, it wasnt all that great......die Yamacha die)

As i was saying, i watch Monster X Strikes Back and i'm still on the fence of how to really judge this flick. First off, there is only like 10 percent of Guilala's screen time that is actually stock footage so that i was happy. The comedy......while not aweful, was ok. Some was in bad taste but others were kinda fitting to the Showa Era of monster flicks. I guess my real bitching is actually all the padding they did to the constant U.N. scenes. God these were aweful and just sooo not needed. The hero monster, Take-Majin, has the most freaking butt ulgy face i've ever seen a giant hero ever have. I wish the creature was done with a bit more dignity. Though the fight was nice. I wish it was longer but it wasnt short either.

The music is pretty amazing at times, i love the opening and fighting themes so much. They are extreme throwbacks to the golden era of our fandom.

All in all i have to say a C+. For kaiju fandom, its not an aweful entry. But it hardly something you want your friends to watch with you. This is kinda one of those movies you want to watch alone cause you embarassed people might know you like it.

Ultraman will always pwn Gamera and Godzilla
:iconmonsturra-jake:
Yeah, go for it. Do you have any ideas?
:iconearthbaragon:
Not a clue, still at the moment trying to work with this cartooning paper and markers. Alot more slippery than i thought it was going to be.
