About
You may enjoy this if you like light, old-school giant monster movies in the vein of Gamera: The Giant Monster or Godzilla Raids Again; Not for you if you want serious drama, polished effects, or culturally sensitive material.
Pros: goofy monster fun; easy to follow; kid-friendly mayhem | Cons: very derivative; weak dubbing; dated offensive elements
