Too much of everything

Nice effects though.

Excellent but underrated film

Crappy film

While Japan has led in this genre, and America has done a few good things in it, this is the British take. Which means everyone is totally calm no matter what is happening and no one gets terribly excited. I give it credit in that its monster has a motivation...it wants its baby back. As opposed to your average Japanese Kaiju who just attacks because, you know, Japan. The special effects aren't horrible, and Gorgo is a little more plausible than most of his Japanese kindred- he doesn't have lasers or fire breathe or something equally implausible. It's just big and it stomps things.

First of all this film was a complete waste of the fine acting talents of Bill Travers, and William Sylvester. This film is about a monster taken from the sea and put in front of people on the land, just to make money and for amusement. This is a sad film because the mother comes from the sea to take what is in fact her baby stolen by the greedy humans. She creates mayhem in her path.I became very sad watching this film because whenever I watch films about monsters, I always feel sorry for them as they are attacked by the so called civilised people on land.I took this film seriously, and the only person who had any pity at all for the monster was the character played by Vincent Winter, Tom I believe his name was ?Yes, I know the monsters were'nt real....I have to ask, just who were the monsters.?????

This movie is nothing but a copy of Godzilla. Well, not the monster, but the idea itself, about giant monster destroying the cities. It is interesting that this is an UK film, it is very rare for British filmmakers to make movies about giant monsters, let alone giant lizards destroying everything in their path. But, they have a perverted tendency to destroy their capital city London in their SF films. But, hell... why not. Let's give it a shot. But this movie, alas, did poorly. Gorgo is actually a nickname for a Gorgosaurus, captured by a fishermen near Irish coast and brought to a circus. Later, they realized that this Gorgo is only a baby... one big baby, which means... an even bigger mama will come. And of course, she won't be gentle in her attempt to find the cub. The Gorgo monster looks funny, they used the same "rubber principle" of making the monster, but some special effects were solid. In conclusion, you wouldn't like this film a lot... you can use it as an insomnia cure.

I think I was aged about eight when I went to the cinema with my cousins one Saturday morning, back in the days when you saw two films for your money - the B movie followed by the main feature. On this occasion I can't even remember what the main feature was because the first movie was Gorgo.It was my first exposure to giant scaly monster movies and I quickly became a big fan. Watching the movie recently on DVD I was impressed by the relatively high production values for a film of this type. The effects are not bad, certainly not laughable as in many monster movies. There is also a great happy ending for mama and baby Gorgo. Quite a rarity.This is pure escapism. If you've come home from a hard day at work you don't want to relax in front of the TV watching period drama or thought-provoking message movies. No, you want to see a giant prehistoric behemoth trashing the puny world of men, and Gorgo delivers!
