Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
montecellic 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!"
WakenPayne NOTE: I tried to be unbiased towards my opinion in this movie. But it is really hard when you're talking about your new vote for "worst movie of all time." This is without a doubt THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! there really is no redeeming qualities for this one. I am in a High School Film and TV Class and I can assure everybody here that I could have made a better movie than this.Firstly, movies must have something we call a plot. This might be revolutionary to the people who made this because all we are ever seen is this big bald guy who's a walking ad for clerasil (sorry guys - monster) just walking. Nothing else, just walking. Then we also have pointless scenes on how to catch the thing, but most of the characters are dropped and replaced with new ones. This makes it one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, without any payoff to it (sometimes boring movies have payoffs - this doesn't).Secondly, when the camera is pointing to something at night we must also be shown what that thing is clearly. Because there are some night shots when all you can comprehend are dots and silhouettes of people that only appear once or twice. Other shots where it's completely black.Thirdly, Some of the dialogue is barely audible. These are situations when the dialogue is supposed to be the only audio on the screen and I needed subtitles to comprehend what is going on. Other times the dialouge is too stupid for words (like the quote I used in my title).Fourthly, the ending makes no sense whatsoever. "In the end there was no monster." THEN WHAT THE F##K HAVE WE BEEN WATCHING FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF!!!!!!!!!! Fifthly, The movie tells us what happened rather than showing us. Instead of showing shots of some scientist walking around in angles pointing at his legs, then coming back to see his research destroyed by the monster(and what exactly does this have to do with anything) I think we need to be shown this monster destroying the research. It would be better than any of the other crap we are shown. Oh and this is not the only time the "Show, don't tell" rule is broken.This movie is about as entertaining as watching water torture. Mystery Science Theater is really the only thing that made me sit down and watch all of it. It was really awful. If I had watched it without Mystery Science Theater I probably would have fast forwarded it to the end in about 20 minutes maximum. I don't recommend you watch it, but if you want to make an opinion of your own then go ahead but don't say I didn't warn you.
Lee Eisenberg Yes, it's another atrocious flick that you won't want to watch unless it's the version that appears on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank cruelly force Joel, Servo and Crow to watch this incoherent movie about a monster that appears after a spacecraft crashes to earth and the astronaut aboard disappears. Production stopped after they ran out of money, and then resumed four years later, meaning that half of the cast simply disappears! And then, the ending makes NO SENSE. Which of course means that Joel and the 'bots have plenty of funny commentary about the flick. Among other things, they find the time to mention Les Paul, Ravi Shankar and Eve Arden.All in all, "Monster a-Go Go" is a VERY bad one. "MST3K" considered the worst movie that they'd ever shown until they showed "Manos: The Hands of Fate".
cj-brown-204-759811 OK so basically this movie proceeds as follows; a space capsule (helicopter) crashes (the helicopter was apparently fine) and leaves an astronaut dead. That's the first few minutes. The next hour or so is comprised of a random dance scene, a few random kisses, people sitting in cars talking, a detective (I think) walking around inquisitively in random field in a sort of neo-noir style, a 3 second view of the "monster," astronaut thing, and some guys at a science lab saying things that don't make any sense. Oh its gets better.Then there are some firemen attaching something to a bridge and a few minutes of the torso/legs of the supposed monster walking around. Then...plot resolution? Nope the monster disappears, the astronaut appears perfectly healthy a few thousand miles away, the "movie" attempts to rip off the ending of a Twilight Zone episode, and the audience is left with a overwhelming feeling of sorrow coming from realizing that this was the work of human beings. The only thing that semi-happened the entire movie was wrenched away.So I lied, it didn't get any better.My friend tried to warn me by describing the movie as follows...OK Imagine the worst movie you've ever seen, remove the plot, remove the characters, remove any sort of continuity, add a helicopter, some people that can't act, a random dance scene, and some random kissing. Then, take away all of that by making the non-existent monster go away and by revealing the only character you might have formed an emotional attachment to that had died was fine, a few thousand miles away. Basically, make one insignificant thing happen, have an hour of discontinuous scenes, and then take what little there was away at the end.This movie could quite possibly be a part of the worst punishment a human being could endure. It's sort of like a birthday party. Well more like telling someone there's a birthday party planned for them, getting in your car and driving around trying to teach that someone a new language, and then revealing to them they don't actually exist, there is no birthday party and that you just wasted an hour of their life teaching them a language that isn't actually real.If that sounds like your type of movie go for it but if you would rather leave your view of the human race somewhat positive this probably should not be watched.
