Movie Reviews of The Giant Gila Monster
Movie Review: Fan of 50s sci-fi? This movie is FUN !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie.
Most people may think the acting is corny and special effects are lousy, but there is a certain kind of charm this movie has that stays with you. It's the kind of movie, if you saw it as a kid, you would never forget it.
I even think the Gila Monster is kind of cool .. Hey, he's cooler than some of those stupid Japanese monster movies (ever seen those Gamera flicks?)
The characters all have personality and charm (even the drunk is great!). The eerie music is great (it defines 1950s sci-fi), the hot-rods are cool and the low-lit scenes are great too. It just adds to the charm of the movie.
This movie is FUN, bad acting and all ... it's just a good time. Enjoy it!
Movie Review: It's so bad it's Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a "classic" cheapie atomic science fiction move from the 50"s in every sense. This RANKS right up there with "Them". If you have never seen the cheap 50's science fiction genre, this is a great place to start. The Gila monster ( a real Gila monster photographed in a match stick backrgound ) should have you howling with laughter. This move is jam packed with such brilliant special effects. This is a staple of midnight One Star theater movies every where or should be. To call this a b-movie is an insult to b-movies everywhere.Movie Review: Good Hokey 1950 Giant Monster Classic

Movie Review: The Giant Gila Monster
Summary: 5 Stars
A real blast from the past, if you are into old monster movies this is a must see.Movie Review: A Mixture of Humor and Corniness!
Summary: 4 Stars
I first discovered the film, "The Giant Gila Monster" while watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. While the commentary given by the characters on the show really made this film funny, watching the film by itself also lent some humor.The story centers around a small town that is ravaged by a giant gila monster that emerged from the desert. While the gila monster wreaks havoc on the town and the town's people, the audience is also treated to the singing of Don Sullivan, who plays the lead. While it was funny at first, by the end of the movie you'll want to scream if you have to hear the song, "Laugh Children Laugh" one more time!
All in all, I did like this movie. It's interesting to see the archaic special effects that were probably cutting edge back in 1959 and compare them to the out-of-this-world effects used now. For those of you who love those old, drive-in movies that are purely for entertainment this is the one for you!
