Review of Robot Monster (1953) by Per P — 26 Jul 2007

Hilarious!

This "movie" is 45% man in gorilla suit/diving helmet staggering clumsily around in the desert, 45% man in gorilla suit/diving helmet talking to a screen with another man in a gorilla suit and a diving helmet. The final 10% of the film is all about horribly incompetent actors talking about the man in the gorilla suit/diving helmet.

Inefficient and repetitive film review, you say? Now you know how Robot Monster is structured.

So why the three stars? It's a highly subjective rating - it's as high as I go on the "unintentionally funny" scale, and Robot Monster is certainly that. When you can see the filmmakers struggling to fill the epic running time of 1 hr. 3 min., you know you're watching movie magic...
