Rating: - Frankenstein Conquers the World
Following the successes of Toho's other giant monster movies, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD capitalizes on more World War II fears materialized in the form of a gigantic Frankenstein monster that brings with him mass destruction but also the hope of regenerating lost tissue to those afflicted by nuclear war. Japanese scientists recover the heart of the Frankenstein monster before the fall of Germany during the Second World War, with the intent of learning its secrets in order to benefit mankind. ...

Rating: - Multiple Unfathomable Coincidences Combine In A Toho Kaiju Classic!
"Frankenstein Conquers the World" (or "Frankenstein vs. Baragon") is a wonderful Japanese-American kaiju movie presented here by Tokyo Shock in a beautiful package. The package contains two discs and three versions of the movie, one primarily a Japanese release, one primarily for American audiences, and one for International audiences (which seems to be the Japanese version with the alternate giant octopus ending). Note that there are other versions out there, but three versions are plenty for me. ... Read More

YEAH, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT WOULD GO GREAT WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA, EXTRA BOOZE AND WHITE CASTLE 'HAMBURGERS'. STILL, IT'S WORTH THE LAUGHS, SO WHY NOT GET IT? HARD TO BELIEVE NICK ADAMS DID THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, THOUGH. AND TO THINK, THE PRODUCERS GAVE A WRITING CREDIT TO THE LATE, GREAT MARY SHELLY, THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF FRANKENSTEIN?!!? THIS WASN'T EXACTLY HER IDEA OF THE STORY, FOLKS. THIS FILM BELONGS IN B HEAVEN, OR HELL. BUT WATCH IT & LAUGH & LEARN HOW NOT TO DISTORT A GREAT ... Read More
Rating: - Fast and Furious Fights
I watched this movie for the first time about a week ago, with eager anticipation. And I watched it in the best setting possible: With a mixed group of friends. Some loathed this film. Some loved it. All were entertained. I thought it was a great, action-packed monster flick, and would recommend it to any Godzilla or daikaiju fan. It was fast paced with a fairly intriguing (if simple) plot. The opening sequence in Germany is a great throwback to the other Frankenstein films. And I was greatly impressed ... Read More
