Love it! I kicked butt!

Godzilla goes to outer space. Actually, so does Rodan and Monster Zero (King Ghidorah). Aliens from Planet X ask for help from Earth to rid their planet of Monster Zero, who terrorizes the surface of their planet, forcing them to live below ground. There is really nothing of note here in terms of story or acting. But there is some fantastic set design and very impressive matte paintings and miniature work on display. Usually Godzilla movies have plenty of that already but this time the design of the film really stands out. It has that "retro" look that many of the James Bond films of the '60s had. The most important thing to note is that this is the movie that contains the inexplicable, notorious Godzilla victory dance. It's the strongest indication yet of how childish the movies have become since the original "Gojira" horror film of 1954.

Only thing worth watching was Godzilla's victory dance.

The repetition is starting to get tiring — I feel like the movies are all just more of the same now. The message is basically nonexistent; it’s a good pulp and adventure flick, but it lacks depth. Godzilla is getting more and more embarrassing — ridiculous, really — always the goofy monster of the movie. The atomic destroyer he once was is long gone. The kaiju/sci-fi mix is interesting, I like it, but I think they could’ve done something more with it. Even with all that, as always, it’s still entertaining — but that’s all it really has to offer.

"We need an exterminator, one that would drive away King Ghidorah. We need from you Monster Zero 1 and Monster Zero 2, Godzilla and Rodan." The human plot is fun in Invasion of Astro-Monster. It had to be because Godzilla, Rodan and Ghidorah are more side characters in this one. Godzilla and Rodan are brought over to Planet X by people from outer space to help them against King Ghidorah. But it was all an ploy to control Rodan and Godzilla alongside Ghidorah to take over the earth! Fantastic right? So if you want to see Godzilla doing a happy dance. Rodan and Godzilla teaming up against Ghidorah, this one is for you!
