Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. **Review by ** – ★★★☆☆
   “A unique entry in the kaiju genre, blending crime thriller elements with a giant monster narrative. The special effects are impressive for its time, especially the depiction of Dogora’s amorphous form.”
2. **Review by ** – ★★★★☆
   “Ishirō Honda delivers an intriguing and offbeat kaiju film that stands apart from the typical giant monster fare. The fusion of a heist plot with a sci-fi creature feature is both unexpected and entertaining.”
3. **Review by ** – ★★★☆☆
   “While not as iconic as Godzilla, Dogora offers a fresh take on the genre with its extraterrestrial menace and the intertwining of human criminal activities. A solid watch for fans of classic Japanese sci-fi.”
