Review of Dinosaurus! (1960) by Stephanie A — 10 Oct 2014

I have to be honest here and say that I don't remember a whole lot about Dinosaurus because it was so dull, so my memory of it is very dim. I remember the beginning mostly and I think I tuned out for the rest.

I remember the character of Dumpy and the annoying kid running around, and that they found a prehistoric monster in the ocean that, of course, came to life. That's about it. I hate to give movies like this such low marks because of the work that went into them, particularly with the stop-motion puppets, but it's a tedious bore.

There's nothing that spectacular or engaging about it. I'm sure it thrilled people in 1960 when it was released, but I just couldn't get through it properly. So I'd just say that it's a boring film, and one that even a comedy troupe like Rifftrax can't even make enjoyable.

It's definitely not the best of the genre or anything like that, that's for sure.
