Godzilla: Attack All Monsters ( Jap. ゴジラ·ミニラ·ガバラオール怪獣大進撃, Gojira, Minira, Gabara: Oru Kaiju Daishingeki , literally "Godzilla, Minilla, Gabara: major attack all monsters", Eng. Godzilla's Revenge or All Monsters Attack ) is a Japanese feature film from the Godzilla series.

action

Seven-year-old Ichirō is often left to fend for himself as his father works for the railroad and his mother works shifts. Since he is harassed by the stronger Gabara at school, he takes refuge in his imagination on Monster Island , the home island of the monster Godzilla. In one of his daydreams, Ichirō actually lands on the island and meets Godzilla's son Minilla, who is also annoyed by a stronger monster - also named Gabara.

Back in reality, Ichirō hides from his archenemy in a factory hall and runs into two bank robbers who are on the run after a recent bank robbery.

At the next meeting with Minilla, he gives Ichirō tips on how to face his enemies. When Ichirō is kidnapped by the bank robbers in the factory hall, he witnesses in another daydream how Minilla successfully defends himself against his tormentor. Encouraged by this, Ichirō is able to overpower one of the bank robbers. His accomplice is arrested by the police while he is chasing Ichiko.

Now Ichirō can successfully defend himself against his tormentor Gabara.

background

The monster scenes in the film, which is specifically intended for children as a target group, are largely taken from the earlier Godzilla films Frankenstein and the Monsters from the Sea (1966), Frankenstein's Monsters Chasing Godzilla's Son (1967) and Frankenstein and the Monsters from Space (1968)

The monster Gabara was created especially for this film.

As in the other films in the series, Godzilla is portrayed using the suitmation method. This means that actor Haruo Nakajima played the role of the eponymous monster in a rubber costume.

The budget for this film was "only" $ 150,000, one of the lowest budgets in the Godzilla franchise.

From June 27, 2013, the film was marketed on DVD in a German version.

criticism

The film received mostly negative reviews. The film on the Rotten Tomatoes website received around 20 percent positive reviews from critics and audiences.
