HEY EVERYBDY ITS ME (4) ! And today we review .... gamerzillamankong the movie !

SO this review will be different .....its special for one reason only ... the name "polonia"

this name is synonymous with terrible films ... BUT at the same time has inspired generations of film makers to chase their dreams (including myself) ...starting out a a duo the polonia brothers created the "no budget" films (maybe even the actual genre of no budget films lol) that when you saw them you thought ..wow this is the worst ... BUT there was always something genuine and pure .... something real ... about them .. honest and enduring ... that was called love ... and passion for the films they made the drive to make something and keep making those movies no matter how rough around the edges they might have been .... WAY back in the 90s when they were babies ....not actual babies making movies ...that would be impressive though ....

but what they did WAS impressive still ... taking anything they had and making it work ... from paint ball masks and video game control sticks to be a alien driving a space ship .... to claymation styled stop/go animated monsters .......they MADE it work .......mark lost his brother 2008 ish ? I believe .... and personally i figured to never see another film with that name again .... BUT indeed not mark carried on and has made SO many more films ....

and even now ...when i find a movie that bares that name ....i breath both a sigh of "oh no" and "h#ll yes !" at the same time to watch the movie ... because i know it'll be something bad ....but also great .....its a true paradox, the polonia name .......

NOW this film.... i expected exactly what i got ........ i WANTED better FX ...and acting ...and ......well everything BUT i was in no was disappointed .... and in fact i think IF i had gotten those things i would have been ........

the dubbing was great and is matched then didn't .... then wasn't even there at times ... so they did a great job keeping the basics of the traditional Japanese styled giant monster movies that came over to America feel there .... the story lines were disjointed and the editing was odd at times ....so again ..good job keeping it styled like some of the low end foreign films that came over the seas and were chopped up.....over all here's is the take from this ..... it is bad .... but if you know the names like todd sheets or polonia bros ....then you know this is from some OG's of the film world and put some respect on it ....

indie respect rating 9/10

average film watcher rating 1/10.
