...certainly not King Kong, Godzilla or other great kaiju of recent movie spectaculars. Monster Island is one of the weaker mockbusters from The Asylum, where a thin script and cheap settings are not overcome by the performances, here achieving the remarkable feat of the actors seeming to be giving such a range of performances it is as if they were in different movies. Achieving a coherent movie under tight budgetary circumstances is always to be applauded, but the end result is simply quite dull here.
