wes-connors Before you can say, "Sock it to me!" a giant asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. Ivan Reiner, Kinji Fukasaku and the gang get western TV star Robert Horton (as Jack Rankin) to command a mission dealing with the problem. He clashes with future "Oscar" nominated site commander Richard Jaeckel (as Vince Elliott). These two "Gamma 3" rivals both dig luscious doctor Luciana Paluzzi (as Lisa Benson). They decide to land one of their groovy spaceships on the giant rock and lay down some explosives. The mission gets a little hairy, but winds up successful. But the team has inadvertently picked up "The Green Slime" - a bubbly mess that grows into energy eating beasts even "Mr. Clean" can't wipe up! ****** The Green Slime (12/19/68) Kinji Fukasaku ~ Robert Horton, Richard Jaeckel, Luciana Paluzzi, Ted Gunther

brock-121-640273 If you are looking for complex character development, scientific realism, or top-notch special effects, leave now (why on earth would you look for these things in a movie titled "The Green Slime" anyway?).If, however, you want a fun hour or so with some popcorn watching people shoot monsters with ray guns, you can do much worse than "The Green Slime".Some movies are just "so bad it's good"; stilted acting, amateurish writing, and bad sets make them funny in spite of themselves. This isn't one of those. This is a fun concept, with limited and dated effects, that is made enjoyable by some good actors and decent screen writing.Those reviewers who have likened this to Godzilla movies were dead-on: campy, fun, well-acted, and with no shortage of miniatures or rubber-suit monsters.Grab the kids, pop some popcorn, and enjoy this one on a Sunday afternoon. 8 out of 10 stars.

moonspinner55 Rather like "Them!" set in outer space: two adversarial Commanders, in love with the same woman, battle alien creatures brought on-board a space-station in the form of a slimy green ooze (lit from within!). The electromagnet slime reproduces itself while thriving on energy, eventually giving birth to screeching, one-eyed creatures with furiously waving tentacles (their high-pitched chatter is effective, the monsters are not). B-grade sci-fi was a joint effort from the U.S. and Japan, with M-G-M handling distribution duties Stateside. It has a cartoony sensibility--and a candy-colored appearance--that's fun for cult audiences; all others, beware! Title song mixes rock and soul for a vaguely blaxploitation feel, years ahead of its time. ** from ****

Tom van der Esch Okay; in short: An asteroid is about to crash Earth, so some guys are send up there to blast the thing. An alien creature (in the shape of some green goo) comes back to a space station by accident. There, it grows and eventually ends up killing a few people. The acting is.. well.. just fine. Nothing really outstanding or horrible to report. The Russian female character got on my nerves at some point though.The monsters in this movie look really silly and hardly scary. The noises they make tend to annoy you sooner or later.It's an okay B movie, but nothing more then that.On a side note, it does have a catchy theme tune in the beginning.5 out of 10 stars.
