very mediocre monster movie with a message
1 November 2005
Warning: Spoilers
this movie is very mediocre. Not unwatchable as "Godzilla vs the smog monster ", yet an extravaganza of mediocrity...from acting ( Russ Tamblyn reminds me of the Willian Shatner-Capt. Kirk out of shape of the 80's ) to the overall package. The plot is not that bad as it shows 2 twin monster Yetis ( or other humanoid big-foots), one evil & the other kind & compassionate (in spite of the fact they are identical). Besides that, lots of miniatures, cartonbox cities and -of course- men in suit jumping here & there wreacking havoc. Many say it was funny... i didn't find it very funny, besides the visible shortcomings of a C, low budget Japanese monster movie. Same as other TOHO movies, it tries to digress from the main focus on the man in suit mashing some cartonbox sky-scraper... in its digression, it fails...Godzilla vs the sea monster is a rare case when such digression is successful, because it's limited in scope. definitely a movie you won't want to watch twice.
