Title: A total misfire...and that's putting it nicely.
Product review: This movie is an enormous letdown after its magnificent predecessor, 1968's "Destroy All Monsters". While the idea of seeing the world through the Godzilla Universe via the eyes of a child is an interesting one, the overabundant use of stock footage from previous films frankly kills the movie outright. This is an unfortunate waste of the talents of a director like Ishiro Honda, who no doubt was looking for a way out, especially when his close friend and SFX genius Eiji Tsubaraya died midway through production. Very young children who have not seen any previous Godzilla movies might enjoy this, especially since the protagonist is in their age group. Other than that, this flick has very little appeal at best.
