Robot Monster (1953)
1/10
Laughably bad, but it is impossible not to be at least entertained

Robot Monster is not a good movie, in fact it is absolutely awful and one of the worst of its genre in my view. That said, I do get a novelty value out of it. The sets and costumes are cheap, the editing and photography more so and the special effects are atrocious. The dialogue at best is laughable and if I amputated part of myself for every time I howled with either contempt or unintentional laughter there would nothing left of me, the story is lame and predictable with plot lines that you can drive a (very big) delivery truck through. The direction is okay, and Elmer Bernstein's music is by far the best asset of the movie, but the stock characters(the professor) and terrible acting(including Ro-Man) also help to bring Robot Monster down. In conclusion, has novelty value but it is a mess of a movie. 1/10 Bethany Cox
