The brief fights feel perfunctory and don't seem that important to the plot. Still, it's a fun watch, even if the kaiju thrills are lacking.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's Godzilla film was the 1965 'Invasion of Astro-Monster'. Godzilla and Radon get duped by aliens into going to space to fight Astro-Monster (who is really just King Ghidorah again). I think it might be most famous for Godzilla's victory dance...

All Monsters Attack (1969) Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966) Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975) The War of the Gargantuas (1966) (not Godzilla but very awesome)

positive · AI labelView post →This bonkers #Godzilla film has some great special effects but will always be known for being the one where Godzilla does a victory dance.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965). I’m not a kaiju guy but I periodically give one a try anyway. I don’t know, I guess I’m not on the right wavelength for these things. This is a pretty silly movie. It looks really cool though, I liked all the 60’s designs and sets.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy 59th anniversary to this classic “Invasion of Astro-Monster” 🙌🏻 It has a special place in my heart, such a fun film! This film also blessed us with one of the most iconic moments in Godzilla history, Godzilla’s Victory Dance! 🫡
positive · AI labelView post →The Godzilla Zodiac: Which Kaiju Are You?. Godzilla debuted in theaters in Japan on November 3, 1954 making the King of the Monsters something of a cinematic Scorpio by default. But if you vibe more with Invasion of Astro-Monster than proper astrology, you might be open to a more relaxed interpretation of the western zodiac. With nothing more than pure fun in mind, we've remapped the stars to pair some of your favorite Toho kaiju with certain astrological sign archetypes based on their…

neutral · AI labelView post →The two Toho Frankenstein movies and the Godzilla all-star team-up movie INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER were given some financial help and international distribution from U.S. film producer Henry Saperstein, which is why you have an American lead in all those movies listed above. #Riffotronic
neutral · AI labelView post →1. Godzilla '98 2. Invasion of Astro-Monster 3. Tokyo S.O.S. 4. Final Wars 5. Godzilla: King of Monsters. The runner ups are any film with Mothra in it. Lol. Minus One is very close to replacing one, but can't beat nostalgia just yet. XD
positive · AI labelView post →Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) Unexpectedly competent scifi movie. Large complex sets and human costumes that generally don't look like they were put together in a single afternoon at home depot. That painting of jupiter in the beginning is straight out of Alien or Space Odyssey
positive · AI labelView post →All Monsters Attack (1969) Godzilla at least had more relevance to the plot of this movie than Invasion of Astro Monster. It's still the worst of the lot though. I know there was no budget but this was the best you could come up with? I do wish Godzilla was my friend though (Minilla is my enemy).

neutral · AI labelView post →NW: "The X from Outer Space" (1967, dir. Nihonmatsu Kazui) Shochiku tried to capitalize on the Gojira craze with a film that seems to resemble 1965's "Invasion of Astro-Monster" (a personal favourite!). Interestingly, there is an ethnically diverse cast in this film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Invasion of Astro Monster which I remember really disliking back in the day. Still think it’s pretty weak but I had a better time this go around. Can’t get mad about a movie where Godzilla does a little dance.

Just the right amount of ridiculous cheese played straight. Those alien outfits are so styling. Plus it has my favourite monster, King Ghidorah, and he fights Godzilla on Planet X! 🛸

neutral · AI labelView post →INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER takes us to outer space. The Honda films definitely lean into exaggeration. It’s still another well plotted Godzilla movie that sides the audience with the monsters. Honda’s films veer towards grander ideas while still creating awesome destruction. 📽️🕸️🍿🗃️

neutral · AI labelView post →This movie was originally titled KAIJU DAISENSO ("Great Monster War"). Toho chose the grammatically incorrect "Invasion of Astro-Monster" as their overseas export title. The international version that was reworked into MONSTER ZERO was titled in English INVASION OF THE ASTRO-MONSTERS. #svengoolie

neutral · AI labelView post →Hell, even the way a single director frames Godzilla based on their own (and their studio's) desires changes from movie to movie. Honda's work on Mothra vs Godzilla is markedly different from Invasion of Astro-Monster.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Invasion of Astro-Monster": What a bipolar experience. As a sci-fi movie it's not bad (and includes a predictable but still fun plot twist), but as a monster movie it's pretty lame.

negative · AI labelView post →Invasion of Astro-Monster is in Fresh Tier A pretty refreshing film, I liked the human stuff more than the monster action. Rodan and Ghidorah look kinda goofy flying. I love how agile Godzilla is in this one. The dance is so good. Had a really fun time watching this one!
