My least favorite Godzilla film is All Monsters Attack (also known as Godzilla, Minilla, Gabara: All Monsters Attack and Godzilla's Revenge), all monster fights in the movie except for the ones with Gabara are made up of stock footage from Ebirah, Horror of the Deep and Son of Godzilla (both are bad Godzilla films, not horrible, though).

Gabara, honestly, is by far the stupidest thing to be made in cinematic history. Though, I do not like Minilla, him talking is just downright creepy. No offense, but... Godzilla's son is not suppose to talk.

Despite being a Showa Godzilla film, the movie itself does not even take place in the Showa universe, it's all just a dream by Ichiro Miki, the movie's main protagonist, makes me feel like making this was just downright pointless, though I can understand why they made it, it's because Destroy All Monsters, originally planned to be the last Godzilla film, was so successful that Toho decided to make more, but really, this is best they could come up with? The best they could come up with to pick up on the Godzilla franchise after it ended? Inexcusable.

The message of the movie is pretty simple, stand up to your bullies, the problem with this take is simply this "Okay kids, if you get kidnapped, fight your kidnappers, risking your death, and the cops won't do anything to help you.", worst piece of advice ever, worst lesson ever, there's nothing else I can say about the message other than it's horrible.

In conclusion, All Monsters Attack is not only a horrible Godzilla film, it's a horrible film in general. To recap, Godzilla's fights are stock from the two Godzilla films I thought were bad, Minilla, though terrible, is just downright awful, Gabara is a horrible main antagonist, Ichiro is a horrible human protagonist, the moral of the story is horrible, the story in general is horrible, the movie is simply garbage and doesn't have a reason to exist, I would not recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting into Godzilla, there are other ones out there that I can recommend, this, along with Godzilla: Final Wars, are just not one of them, that's all I have to say.
