not horrible nor great
Load of rubbish!!
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This is one of world's worst films ever made - or so some say but I have seen worse.. so much worse than 'Monster A Go Go'. This film is not great at all but it is entertaining but drab at the same time. This is not a film I would recommend to anyone although I found it kinda neat in a way. This is an 'ok' bad b-film - not good but certainly not the worst.The film reminds me of a fairly good home movie... as if some inspiring filmmakers and actors made it. It has it's moments of being fun and interesting but I will admit it is a bit dry.If you really want to watch a drab but kinda entertaining bad b-film then you might like 'Monster A Go Go' - otherwise you can easily pass on this flick because you won't miss anything by not watching it.3/10
Yes, it's a lousy movie. Yes, it's inept. Yes, it's boring. But there are two things I actually like about "Monster a Go-Go!" The first is the opening theme song. Forget the lyrics...this is the classic '60s garage band sound all the way. It gets things off to a lively start. Unfortunately, as soon as the script kicks in, things bog down. Way, way down.But if you're patient (or simply use the fast forward button), you'll find the movie's second asset around the half-way mark: a party where a gang of teeny-boppers dance the Twist. The story focuses on one of them...a bimbette who is dancing not with her boyfriend, but--behold! Scorchingly Hot Guy.Scorchingly Hot Guy is an excellent dancer, which he proves while gyrating with Bimbette. Meanwhile, Bimbette's boyfriend watches and gets jealous. Soon, he'll drag her away from Scorchingly Hot Guy.The scene ends and the movie plods along to its conclusion. We do not see Scorchingly Hot Guy again, although he is featured in the ending of MAGG's trailer, in footage that does not appear in the movie. For viewers with sharp eyes, this gives us an even bigger payoff than his appearance in the feature itself."Go, you monster, go!"
Not much to say about this movie really because it's all such nonsense to watch. Really no idea what the story was all supposed to be about, since it got told in such a messy and unimaginative way.It's really like the film-makers themselves also had no idea what they were shooting and what story they were following and trying to tell. It's all over the place with its story and characters, that randomly pop-up and also do and say lots of random stuff, which most of the time don't really connect with the rest of the movie. The movie doesn't even have a real main lead in it! At least not that I could tell off...Suppose this movie is supposed to be one of those typical '60's science-fiction/horror crossovers, only thing with it is that the movie has neither got any good science-fiction or horror in it. There is a monster in this but what does he do? Absolutely nothing and he's in about 3 scene's or so, anyway. Really, there is just not excitement or any good mystery in this movie.It's obviously a very low budget production, since it has clearly no production value to it and stars a whole bunch of people you have never seen or heard off before. And it's not hard to see why none of them ever had a gloaming career in the industry, after watching them in this movie.I take more pleasure in watching an Ed Wood movie of this type really! This movie is just so bad that it isn't even funny or fun to watch.2/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
I watched the MST3K version of this movie, and I don't think I could have watched the original version. This was just too boring & confusing of a movie to watch without someone making fun of it. The audio was atrocious and it was hard to make out what the actors were saying, not to mention that some of the sound effects were way too loud for the action (which made not only Joel & the bots jump, but me as well). The one scene were the guy goes "brrring" before he answers the phone is priceless. I suspect they meant to overdub a ringing phone sound effect at that point but forgot to. The tiny space capsule was also quite laughable.The ending, though, is totally anticlimactic, pointless, and confusing. Two men in radiation suits are chasing the monster through the sewers when all of a sudden it disappears, and a telegram arrives saying that the missing astronaut was found safe & sound in the Atlantic Ocean. We're supposed to be left pondering whether or not the monster was the astronaut and how the monster disappeared the moment the astronaut was found. But it rather gives the impression that they didn't really have an ending for the movie and hurriedly wrote one.Overall, this is one of the worst movies of all time and deserves its spot in the bottom 100.
