"Action sequences filmed in confuse-o-vision!"
Jet Jaguar...boy, he was pointless. In fact, a lot of this movie was. It spends half the time building up a monster controlled by an underground society we don't really know, is never really defeated, and they lose control of Megalon so he can destroy what he wants...which he was kinda already doing. The point here was...what, exactly? Why not just have the monster stomp around? I'm gonna assume it was to give the movie a different, and sillier, plot.
On top of all that, the Big G himself is barely in this, spending most of his time walking along the bottom of the ocean so he can join in the fight. Godzilla finally enters the movie with 20 minutes to go. And I love his little entrance dance. I can practically hear a rousing theme song as he walks to the ring.
But aside from all that, I am also amused at a They Live reference, since I just posted that review.
Overall, fun stuff with an undeniable classic movie property, and a rarity in the world of MST3K releases.
And look, a new userpic! I figured I needed one for MST3K posts (Or just plain bad movies) so snapped a shot of my plastic figures and the logo stress ball I've gotten since Shout! Factory started handling the property. Debated taking just a shot of the ball, to make for a clearer shot of the logo, but I honestly just liked the group shot better, and you all know what's on the ball, even if it isn't *perfectly* clear.
