Go Go Gojira!
Go Go Gojira! As fast and as far away as you can from this ridiculous cut and paste movie!
All Monsters Attack is actually about a young boy who is bullied at school and daydreams very vividly about Monster Island and his "friend" Minilla/Minya, quite possibly my least favorite character in the Godzillaverse and definitely the creepiest looking.
Robbers are on the loose and no one bothers to lock their doors, even when a child is by himself at night because the parents are working. What's the worst that can happen? Yeah, doesn't matter that it was 1969. These robbers are slightly more tame and inept than those in Home Alone, but it was still disturbing.
The little boy takes what he learns from Minilla/Minya from his daydreams to deal with the robbers and later the bullies. Unfortunately, the ending scene undoes all the anti-bullying rhetoric.
The monsters are all in the little boy's imagination and are just cut and pasted from previous movies. Hondo took a bunch of scenes like Godzilla batting a boulder around with Ebirah (the giant lobster) and added the little boy watching. Most of the chopped up scenes were from Son of Godzilla, Ebirah of the Deep, and a little from Destroy All Monsters. There was one new monster, Gabara, in short scenes to show that Minilla needed to stand up to the bully, just as the young boy needed to stand up to his bullies and the robbers. It pains me that this director from Godzilla 1954 had to stoop so low for either commercialism or to cheaply appeal to the little boy crowd. Rumored to have been scheduled to be the last Godzilla movie it made enough money that they would continue to milk that cow for a few more years targeting the younger audience before rebooting the big guy in 1984 leading into the Hesei era.
If you have children around the age of 8 and they are extremely sheltered, they might enjoy this movie. For adults, probably just for completionists.
