Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

classicsoncall I can only take these Japanese monster films in small doses, which is to say about every six months to a year so as not to get permanently loopy. The same thing with Seventies martial arts flicks. But I stick with them for the amusement factor because that's basically what I see as their mission. I see that most of the reviews for this movie are hugely positive, and that's fine, but even so, I don't get the rationale for rating pictures like this a '10' because even if you're a fan, you have to have seen "Star Wars" or "Alien" by way of comparison. I merely shake my head.At least the bonus for this viewer was the inclusion of Nick Adams in the cast. He proved he really was a rebel to take on this assignment, appearing in the cast credits as Nikku Adamusu. But the odd thing was that his name in the story was Glenn, without noting whether that was the character's first or last name. His astronaut partner on the space mission went by the last name of Fuji (Akira Takarada), which led me to question why everyone simply called him Glenn, no matter the context. The cast credit here on IMDb states Adam's character as Glenn Amer, but one wouldn't know that from watching the picture. Maybe Amer was short for American.Say, I had to laugh when Spaceship P-1 landed on Planet X, and the hatch door used to leave the ship actually had dents in it. Still, that was a whole lot better than the spaceship used in the 1959 flick "Teenagers From Outer Space". In that one, you can see the futuristic technology of space age hammer and nails at work. So you can actually measure the progress of sci-fi special effects used in this film compared to the one that came out six years earlier.The best and funniest moment in this picture occurred when Godzilla and Rodan defeated King Ghidorah on Planet X. Right after, Godzilla went into this goofy looking dance number that had me baffled. That simply reminded me that these Toho films were primarily put together for a pre-teen audience, so with that in mind, it seemed rather logical. What's not logical is why I still watch this stuff. But rest assured I'll be back in another six months or so. Or wait, maybe sooner, because I just happened to come across a copy of "Mothra vs. Godzilla".

Julian R. White Invasion of Astro-Monster, also called Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, not a bad Godzilla film at all. It gets kinda redundant that this film goes back to back with Ghidrah, the three headed monster, so twice in a row we have Godzilla and Rodan fighting Ghidorah. The only difference is the setting. This also was the only Godzilla film in which two monsters from earth are on another planet, and it also includes the famous Godzilla "dancing scene". The plot is a bit cliche and has been used in various other Godzilla films which were made afterwards, a mysterious race wants to befriend mankind, but in reality they want only to destroy us. Overall it's a neat little film for a Saturday night alone. The plot, at times seems to drag a little, but it's certainly more watchable than some other films I have reviewed.

LeonLouisRicci For Those that are Unaware. Godzilla is a Rock Star. The Monster/Dinosaur/Reptile, Always Played by a Man in a Rubber Suit Until CGI, is a Hands-Off Movie Icon that is Fiercely Protected by His Devoted and Fanatical Godzilla Groupies and is Beyond Criticism. This Japanese Juggernaut, You See, Can Do No Wrong.Defining or Deciphering the Appeal Might Take Some Serious Psychoanalysis, but Suffice to Say After the Big Guy Made His Debut in 1954 the Endless Stream of Kid-Friendly, Low-Budget, Laugh-Fests Never Stopped. But it Seems You Can Only Laugh at These Things in a "Club-Card" Kind of Way. If You are Not a Member of the Love-Fest for the Franchise Beware and Make Sure You Smile and Don't Smirk.Truth be Told, Despite the Protective Barrier Surrounding the Great Number of Films in the Pantheon, the Movies are Vulnerable on Most Levels Other than Absolutely Pure Camp and Kindergarten Kinetics. The SFX are Wild but Repetitive. If You've Seen One You've Seen Them All. The Monsters in the Series are Interchangeable with Guest Stars, Cameos, and Fluctuate Between Being Heroes and Villains Depending on the Entry.This One Incorporates Space Travel with Visiting Aliens, Space Ships, Some Cool Flying Saucers, Intersolar Travel. and American Cult Actor Nick Adams. Three TOHO Monsters Show Up, Godzilla, Rodan and Ghidorah. It's Got a Deeper Plot Than Most with More Emphasis on the Space Stuff than the Monster Mash. Overall, Slightly Above Average for a Godzilla Movie, Famous for the Godzilla Victory Jig and the Ali-Shuffle.

utgard14 Silly but extremely fun Godzilla movie, co-produced by an American studio (which is why Nick Adams is in this). The plot has two astronauts (Adams and Akira Takarada) traveling to Planet X. The people of that planet tell them that the three-headed monster King Ghidorah has been wrecking Planet X. They propose a trade -- Earth lets them borrow Godzilla and Rodan and, in exchange, they'll give us a miracle drug that will cure all disease. Well the Earthlings happily agree to this and the two monsters are taken away. But it turns out the people of Planet X aren't what they appear to be and now have issued Earth an ultimatum.This is all just nonsense but very cool. I'll get to the monster stuff but first let me say how much I love the cheesy sci-fi. From the astronaut suits and ship to the Planet X aliens with their stylish sunglasses, hilarious outfits, and cool gadgetry -- it's all so gloriously fanciful and dated. I love it! Now, the selling point of this is naturally big monster fights. Well this one delivers. All three monsters tear crap up before Godzilla and Rodan take on Ghidorah in a wonderful climactic battle. Wait until you see Godzilla boxing and shuffling his feet -- it's priceless! Oh and the best part of the whole movie is when he gives a victory dance. There isn't a word for how awesome that is. Nick Adams' performance is all over the place. For most of the movie he seems like an overgrown Bowery Boy but, late in the film, he decides to overact like he's in Streetcar. Lots of unintentionally funny lines and cheesy moments. It's great escapist entertainment. Probably my favorite Godzilla sequel.
