D (Bad).
A giant pterosaur hatches in a collapsed mine.
I honestly can't think of a way to make a movie with a dinosaur in it more tedious than this.

2021 movie #105. 1965. Planet X wants to 'borrow' Godzilla and Rodan to fight King Ghidorah who is devastating their world. But American Glenn (Nick Adams) is suspicious of their intent and proven right when the Xixians use mind control to make the monsters attack Earth. Goofy!
The original Godzilla truly is the king of monsters. I give it only four stars but with admiration.
Giant dinosaur monster smash.
I never would have thought that a 90-minute movie about a giant monster could possibly be this boring.
