I'm going to start with a controversial statement: I preferred the 1998 version of the famous Japanese monster movie.
Reason? Mainly because, for the vast majority of this particular movie, I couldn't tell what was going on: lots of rumblings, sure, a few monster noises bit actually being able to see what was happening? Nope.
It also seems to waste most of its cast: Bryan Cranston doesn't do much before making his exit, a pre Scarlet-Witch Elizabeth Olson spends most of her (limited) screen time looking worried and Ken Watanabe does nothing but seemingly mope around the place.
And, finally, what call the movie Godzilla when he's barely in it? If anything, it should have been called MUTOs ...

Wow
FINALLY! A creature feature that is worthy of the genre! John Krasinski pulls out all the stops in this monster flick-directing AND acting in it. With hardly any lines spoken this movie has an intensity that is off the charts. There's really not much gore but the monsters may be a little scary for young kids. The cinematography, effects, acting and storyline are great. If you enjoy movies like Cloverfield, Allens and other intense monster movies you'll really enjoy this one. The kids in this did an outstanding job. It had a sad beginning but it only added to the dynamic of the family story. This one is really worth a watch!

Just finished watching again probably one of my favourite new who episodes and the perfect way to celebrate its birthday. Still going strong after 56 years hard to believe it's the longest running sci fi show in the world. Anyway back to the episode what can I say about it besides probably the best who casting of all time in John Hurt as the war doctor no one else could have played him quite like he does. the rest of cast are just as good and too bring the zygons as well brilliant but no loch Ness monster shame
Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Kong Island (A.K.A. The King of Kong Island) (1968) in Movies
Jul 9, 2020
One of my guilty pleasures is terrible monster movies. I expected as much with Kong Island. They over achieved in the terrible department and under achieved in the monster department.
The entire premise of the film is centered around a crazy scientist who is attempting to control the minds of an ape population (and inexplicably, a random woman who apparently appeared one day from the Kong Gods) and make all of them his slaves.
The graphics didn't bother too much as this was a movie from 1968 and expectation were as such. But the story was so severely lacking that it made watching the 92 minute film feel like 92 hours, give or take.

David McK (3663 KP) rated Van Helsing (2004) in Movies
Aug 28, 2019 (Updated Oct 7, 2019)
Early 2000s (2004?) movie, that re-imagines the role of van Helsing (from the Dracula novel) as a Monster hunter, rather than the elderly scientist he is usually portrayed as, and with Hugh Jackman stepping into the central role as just that character.
Also starring Kate Beckinsale as Anna Valerious (and, yes, again wearing tight fitting trousers a la Underworld) and with Richard Roxburgh doing all but chewing the scenery as Count Dracula, this see's Van Helsing travel to Transylvania in an effort to uncover the mystery of his past and aid Anna in stopping her family's curse in a film that also sees many of Universals 'classic' monsters (Wolfman, Dracula's brides, Frankenstein's Monster, Jekyll and Hyde) involved.
