That was an excellent one.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Robot Monster is heralded as one of the classics of schlock cinema. It's lame, low budget and of course it features a gorilla wearing a diving helmet. Robot Monster was filmed almost entirely at Bronson Canyon and this was a location used for several films afterwards.There's moments that unveil the films noticeably low budget such as what appears to be a bubble machine and the infamous use of stock footage from films such as One Million B.C., Lost Continent, Flight to Mars and Invasion, USA. As you would imagine the film received negative reviews and Robot Monster has been since held in infamy.I would say I've seen worse films, Manos: The Hands of Fate is by far the worst of the lot, but Robot Monster would easily be in my top five worst for sure.

Well, I pass the trophy over from Jaws III to this movie. It really is so bad. Some movies can be so bad they are good. Not this movie...it is a stinker. The acting...what acting? The special effects...what special effects? The dinosaurs...well, they were kinda cool. But what purpose did they serve? Best thing about this movie? That's easy; the love scene. Our hero and heroine are fleeing from some hairy armed man in a diving helmet (supposedly an alien) and incredibly they find time for a bit of flirting, foreplay and a massive kissing session in the hay while this killer robot is limping around in the desert looking totally lost (probably trying to find a way to sneak off the set. In a word, dreadful.

There's not much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said. I could talk about the plot or the characters and how bad they are, or how this movie has no sense of pacing and environment. But that's not why anyone would watch this movie. They'd watch it for the stupidity. And boy, will they not be disappointed. A quick list of idiocy: -The "robot monster" is a scuba diving gorilla. -His radio to his home planet spits out bubbles. -Somehow this lumbering buffoon has wiped out the entire human race. -His death ray is just random, seizure-inducing flashes. -"Dinosaurs" randomly pop in the middle of the movie for no reason. -Said dinosaurs are either reused footage or two wrestling crocodiles, one with a fin taped to his back. -And once again, the robot monster is a scuba gorilla. It's really quite remarkable. I suggest you all stop whatever measly activity you are currently partaking in and go view this movie on your nearest public domain website. It's free and you can also find an old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode to ease you into the madness. You've been warned.

How can you not love this cheesy monstrosity. It's titles almost make this look like it was made in the 30's with the Little Rascals!I believe it was filmed in the trails above Hollywood where there are many caves and where movies are still filmed to this day.The plot is simple: Ro-Man, an alien that looks remarkably like a gorilla in a diving helmet, (only there appears to be the glimpse of a face in that helmet) has destroyed all but six people on the planet Earth. He spends the entire film trying to finish off these survivors, but complications arise when he falls for the young woman in the group. There is even a bubble machine playing a prominent role.The boy is whiny and you'll want to sock him, but you'll get sucked into this monstrosity. You'll wonder how many clips from other bad movies like BC with Lon Chaney (a Hal Roach production) they can paste into this movie, and why the aliens speak English, or why the leader, who is home somewhere has to wear the helmet. Or even why they want to take over the earth when they have to wear a helmet!It's perfection of bad bad bad movies. I loved it.
