So, I was watching Destroy All Monsters and pretty much you don't see hardly any monsters until at least 45 minutes in. I know there has to be a human story line to go along with the monster plot e.g. The aliens controlling the monsters, but the screen-time on the monsters is a little bad, and some monsters are only on the screen for a few seconds! Like Baragon, he was originally meant to destroy Paris, but they replaced him with Gorosaurus for some reason, and that Varan was meant to intervene with the battle against Ghidorah and help the other monsters, but one of the gliding wings broke so he was scrapped just as a cameo. I didn't like the fact how Baragon, Varan and Manda didn't join in the fight, I mean sure they probably wouldn't have done anything but it still would have been good to see them fighting. Anyway, it is a good film but they could've made those 3 monsters fight, and the post below or above called Godzilla vs Manda was an actual scene but as some of the comments say it would've caused a big 'Manda sub-plot' so I can see why it was removed. Also, this guy from 3 previous films is back in this one, he appeared as a reporter, a marine biologist and now an astronaut? Anyway it is a good film, I rate it 7/10.
