Eric Stevenson I'm going to agree with most people and say that this was the worst Godzilla movie ever made. The worst part about it is probably how it just reuses stock footage from other Godzilla movies. One of them was "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster" which was featured on MST3K. It does kind of make you wonder why they never used that movie for the show. I guess with the stock footage it would be redundant. Another annoying thing about the movie is Minya. He was already annoying in "Son Of Godzilla" but this just ups the ante of obnoxiousness. The main character is this kid who keeps having dreams or fantasies about Godzilla.I guess it's all in his head. That makes the story even more pointless. The effects are completely laughable in this film. The other Godzilla movies it has footage from aren't good, but are certainly preferable over this. It's hard to say if the short length is the best part about the movie. They means they just wanted to use as little original footage as possible. No one could have put much effort into this. It's probably the goofiest entry in the entire series and a fair betrayal of the tone the franchise started out with. *1/2

irishm I remember seeing this on Creature Double Feature as a kid and it was always a favorite every time they showed it. The story is actually pretty cute, involving a boy with a vivid imagination who wishes himself to Monster Island so he can hang out with his sorta-imaginary-friends, Godzilla & Co. (Although one wonders, when the kid is running for his life from some of the less-friendly monsters, just what the heck he was thinking when he wished himself there!) My kid brother and I thought the baby-Godzilla-thing was a riot, blowing his smoke rings.I tried to find this movie again as an adult but had some trouble because the Godzilla films keep changing titles. Finally I ran across it on streaming. It was okay from a nostalgia point of view... I can't really say I "liked" it, but I liked watching it for old time's sake. (Would have been more fun if my brother were still living; we could have had quite the evening with the help of a few beers.) But I honestly didn't remember that Minya talks! He has a goofy Mortimer-Snerd voice in the English dub... goodness knows what he sounded like in the original Japanese-language version, but I have to hope it was better than this.Not recommended unless you have a soft spot in your heart for 1960's Japanese kitsch, little boys in short-shorts, actors in awkward rubber suits, and bad dubbing, but if you do you might have a pretty good time with this one. Beats the numerous movies where space aliens figure into the monster plot.

AaronCapenBanner Tenth Godzilla film is also the worst, an incredibly weak, pointless affair about a bullied Japanese boy who daydreams about hanging out on Monster Island with the son of Godzilla, where they try to help each other overcome their respective bullies...Godzilla does what he can to help. Shamelessly uses loads of flashback footage from previous films in a flimsy and desperate attempt to pass this off as a new story. Subplot with the fleeing crooks is silly and contrived. Film seems confused as to whether or not Godzilla really exists, or is just a movie character, which is bizarre. Worthy message about dealing with bullies is lost by the misguided ending with that poor sign painter!

cricketlenny There are a lot of Godzilla films out there, and for most of them its up for debate about which ones are good, or which one is the best(original aside). But any Godzilla fan who's seen his fair share of Godzilla movies knows that THIS movie is by far the worse one. Because it doesn't matter how cheesy or how stupid or fake looking some of the movies can be, because all of them have one thing that this movie doesn't: it stars Godzilla. This movie stars a young boy who gets picked on, day dreams, gets kidnapped, escapes, and stands up to the bullies. Because thats what we think of when someone says Godzilla, we think of coming of age stories. The only times we see Godzilla are in stock footage. I repeat: STOCK FOOTAGE! As in everything we see of him is from other Godzilla movies. Not only that, they have to make Godzilla's son talk. Not only that, they had to give him to most unfitting goofy cartoon voice for him too. The reason that I didn't give this movie a 1 is because Godzilla is still fun to watch, even if it was seen before, because lets be honest, Godzilla playing rock volleyball with a giant lobster never gets old. So watch it for a good laugh at the bad voice acting and horrendously dull plot, but if your a Godzilla fan, stay away, it will crush your appreciation for the series
