Customer Reviews of Giant Gila Monster
So BAD it's...just bad!!! As we all know, some bad movies (PLAN NINE being the example always trotted out) are so bad that they are actually fun. Their crudity, or cluelessness or sheer incompetence make them worthwhile. THE GIANT GILA MONSTER almost makes it to this status, but alas, falls short due to some indefinable quality that takes it from camp to just plain boring.
Perhaps the main problem is that we just don't see enough of the monster. In this small Texas town, the kids seem to have more interest in listenin' to that good ole rock 'n' roll! And the rock songs are simply wretched...and too many. More monster...less music!! That's what this movie needs.
The special effects, such as they are, are below average for this time period, but not far enough below (a la ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN) to make them a laugh riot. They're just obvious. And I'm sorry, but a Gila Monster isn't a terribly threatening beast. It's not quite as silly as a KILLER SHREW, though, so again, the movie fails to reach true camp status.
Students of what bad early rock 'n' roll could be, as conceived by Hollywood B-listers might get some amusement from this film...but if you like the old '50s monster movies, this ain't the one to hunt down.
Good Hokey 1950 Giant Monster Classic
allthough the peeps below my review have their smart ellic remarks on this film i seem to like it.
i actually liked all the giant monster films in the 50's even tho im a 16 year old and wasnt ever around in those days i enjoy the movies today and if u want to pick the reviews of the idiots under me then its ur choice
i got my opinions and they got theirs
A movie saved only by its unintentional humor...
Where do I start on this turkey? The stupid story, the bad acting or the even worse singing. Yes, that's right, singing. This is the Sci-Fi movie that doesn't know if it's a story about a giant lizard or a vehicle to promote a new singing sensation. Well, they should have stuck with the lizard, because the singer was definitely not the next Bobby Darin. I awarded 2 stars because of the movie's saving grace: its unintentional humor.
