About as much pure fun as you'll have in a movie theater this summer.

A ton of fun, and then some.

This is camp, pure and simple, and unless the translators have taken far greater liberties than is apparent, the filmmakers know it.

An enjoyable throwback to the way monster movies used to be made.

Heck, it's great to have the big guy back.

Amusing, funny (intentionally and unintentionally -- it's dubbed, so many lines come out ludicrous) and, by the ending, exciting.

Brand-new and uproariously unimproved.
