      Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Invasion of Astro Monster is a great narrative that is marred by budget and time-constraints. Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Bob Chipman Escapist Magazine This is a fun one, though a bit of a retread of the last one. May 22, 2019 Full Review Rob Humanick Nerdist The lip flapping English of the American version is only negligibly more entertaining. Rated: C May 21, 2019 Full Review Leo Goldsmith Not Coming to a Theater Near You Invasion has many pleasures, not least of which is its resemblance to Honda's earlier, more purely sci-fi ventures... But perhaps its most remarkable feature is its subtle, but noticeable steps in rehabilitating Godzilla's character. May 11, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Trivial sci-fi adventure nonsense, defensible only in that it has been made with unusual care and gravity. Rated: 6/10 Dec 1, 2013 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide Rodan doesn't do much but caw and flap his wings, while Godzilla, in transition from fearsome monster to protector of humanity, is seen doing a goofy jig after the first battle with Ghidrah. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Rich A Love the aliens in this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Chanr3y k Yes, the generic alien takeover the world plot is cheesey, but it has a really slow build up to everything, which makes the monster action feel really rewarding to when it comes, and it's plot is actually very interesting, it just can be very boring at times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Irelia I A mid one BUT still a fun watch! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Spike G A good godzilla film plus the dance is great Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Luigi D Mi è piaciuto molto,con i tre mostri alla carica:Godzilla,Rodan e King Ghidorah:Giant Monsters all out Attack! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Jithin K A plot involving computer mind-controlling aliens where the monsters feel like an afterthought. The social commentary is totally abandoned here. Monster fights are recycled a lot. The American actors speaking and acting in English, and Japanese actors in Japanese was a fun thing at first but the way the film approached with weird actions that would translate to both audience made it weirder than necessary. The main characters weren't really likeable either. Ghidora's suit seemed to be better controlled than in the previous movie. Godzilla's victory dance is one of the best and worst things in the movie at the same time. Overall, even though there was a lot that didn't work here, it's still kind of the formulaic kaiju film that works for me and is still better than even goofier King Kong vs Godzilla.
