Console best movie i've ever seen.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Colin Thecoyote This is, without question, the worst film I have ever seen. It's not even enjoyable in the cheesy B&W B-horror sense that most MST3k fodder is. Like, I despised Spring Breakers. Kairo was so boring it angered me. But I still gave those films two stars because *at least they aren't Monster a-Go Go*. This film is just completely worthless on every conceivable level. And then it has the worst "oh crap, we ran out of money" ending in the history of filmmaking. Just... do not watch. Do not even watch ironically. If you must watch, watch the MST3k episode. The only other film I would call anywhere near this worthless is Manos: The Hands of Fate, but at least that one seemed *finished*.
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.
geminiredblue Bill Rebane, the only director to come out of Wisconsin. Unfortunately, in this case, it's not a good thing. Over the years, Mr. Rebane has made some pretty crappy movies. At least two appeared on the long-running MST3K TV show. I have personally tracked down a few additional ones that wandered onto those multi-DVD packs. Anyway, MONSTER A-GO-GO is easily the worst he ever made. Like any director (good or bad) there are certain trademarks. For Bill Rebane, they would include: lackluster acting, poor dubbing, dialogue that's badly recorded, long boring stretches of tedious conversation, scenes where nothing happens, and humor that falls flat. In MAGG, we can see the young director's unbridled and blossoming (haha) talent. A spacecraft returning to Earth explodes (I think), the astronaut named Douglas grows into a giant and a scientist has to give him injections to keep him normal size. Unfortunately, due to bad timing on the part of the scientist, Douglas escapes. Mind you, a lot of what I just described was described to us by a narrator. Yes, it's another one of those movies like THE CREEPING TERROR where I think they lost parts of the dialogue and added in the narration to keep the audience informed. A lot of the crucial scenes that I just described in fact either happen off-screen or are so poorly shot as to make absolutely no sense at all. Near the halfway point, you are guaranteed to lose interest and possibly consciousness. The only good scene is a short one between a woman whose car broke down and a truck driver. Their scene is brilliant and their banter is witty. As a matter of fact, it could easily have been a scene from IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT. Sadly, it was plopped down in the middle of MAGG! This is easily one of the worst movies ever made. It has no redeeming qualities at all. Oh and the ending will have you screaming and pulling out your hair. Since the budget ran out, Rebane chose to just end the movie. There is one other good thing about it however: it's the cure to insomnia!!!
FairlyAnonymous This is one of those movies that hurts to watch. Besides the movie's camera is terribly outdated, and the visuals are horrible, the acting is even worse and the same goes for the plot. The plot doesn't make any sense.Apparently someone went into space and came back being 10 feet tall and a murderer. The reason he is like this is because some scientist decided to not tell anyone that he gave him a radiation repellent that was experimental, and whenever it was used it made the lab animals go insane and die. Oh and by the way he hides the monster in his closet while the scientist is trying to make an antidote. Either way you can tell this is a stupid movie. The monster escapes and kills some people.So the monster is radioactive which causes people to die near it. Its death radius is slowly getting bigger, so people in radiation proof suits have to go kill. So they check the sewers and they are seconds away from finding the monster, but then they realize it never existed! Apparently the monster was a figment of everyones imagination and that the real person who was sent in space is actually living in Atlanta and is perfectly fine.This movie is stupid... the plot is awful... don't watch it unless you are with MST3K...
