I can understand your disdain for All Monsters Attack(1969), which is one of the weaker Godzilla films. I will say this: if you buy the Classic Media box set try watching the DVD of this movie in it's original aspect ratio(2:35.1 widescreen) and in Japanese language with English subtitles. Doing this may not change your mind about the movie overall but I think it will make the movie seem a little more tolerable to you.

I used to like this film for only one reason: for a while only way I could see clips from Son of Godzilla |

Besides simply following the epic, and much larger budgeted Destroy All Monsters(1968), All Monsters Attack(1969) also suffered, from the longest, by edited versions that aired on television, not only shortening the film but also cropping the aspect ratio in order to fill square TV screens. I realize these things by themselves are not the only reason for the continuing disdain that so many casual(and hardcore) G fans have for this movie. All Monsters Attack is, I think, a children's movie. At least that's how it comes across to me. A young boy is the central character and his casual, even friendly relationship with an almost puppy-faced Minya is also a prominent part of the movie's story. The extensive use of stock footage no doubt played into this film's story but may also been a budgetary move by Toho, as using stock footage is obviously a way to save on budget. It's taken me a good long time to look more favorably on this movie, and I've managed to do that by focusing on what I like about All Monsters Attack: 1. the appearance of a new monster, Gabara 2. many of the background visuals used to depict Ichiro's neighborhood: bleak, smoggy and with railroad tracks and other elements of heavy industry in the background(including factories and smoke stacks). 3. Ichiro's shenanigans with the pair of bumbling thieves at the conclusion of the movie, which I found somewhat humorous 4. parts of the score, which I liked |

I'd like to offer my congratulations in advance on your impending fatherhood. Best wishes to you and your family during this time. I hope you'll consider posting a pic(or two) of your baby after it has been born.

I was thinking it was more along the lines of coincidental... but that's just me.

Ken Hulsey of "Monster Island News" has posted a blog entry in which he speculates that a comparison can be made between the Spike Jonze directed film Where The Wild Things Are(2009) and 1969's Godzilla's Revenge.

 Isn't Ken Hulsey's blog "investigation" enough? |
