I can't believe Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe got talked into this mishmash of Godzilla meets Chinese with more arrows than the army has bullets. Evidently, this may be good fodder for children under 10, but when this viewer got tricked into watching this, it was a minus 10 stars if there is such a thing. Aside from a plot that was really only a series of wild pointless fighting, the monsters were done better in the fifties (1950s that is) and otherwise its only positive aspect is that it finally came to a finish and I was able to get out of there. Sorry guys, but that's the way I see it.

Here is is 65 years later and I still find myself wandering around humming "Penny Candy, Candy for a Penny"!!! I was quite young when I saw this. I liked Eartha Kitt of course, and remembered Robert Clary when he turned up in "Hogan's Heroes". But I can never get Paul Lynde's performance as the poor chap recounting his trip to Africe. He tried so hard to be upbeat and positive about this absolutely horrible experience, it's to die for. They were all good, but those two performances have remained fresh in my mind lo! these 65 years later. Last night I was thinking about it and decided that even at this late date, I had to say something.
