The Monster That Challenged the World. Well, maybe not the world, but a couple dozen people were pretty well shaken up. The movie doesn't live up to the title and the monster isn't big or fierce enough to be a real threat to mankind. The movie does have some weak spots and it isn't near the top of the list for 1950s monster movies. It is however still entertaining and has some scenes that will perk up the monster movie fan. I don't think it can be called a bad movie. Considering it is a 1957 movie of the Sci-Fi, horror genre, I would say it is about average, or perhaps very slightly below average. It still has enough going for it to be interesting but there are plenty of other movies in this genre that I would choose before I got to this one. Don't expect it to match it's title, or expect too much horror and excitement. For me it was still an enjoyable movie although it will not be very memorable one.
