★★★★ · Rather Outlandish · flickfdude · 2008-03-13

Though it was entertaining walking rock creatures takes me back to the old serials and empororming, oops wrong show eh? Well it's sortt oif weird like that you know but certainly a late night movie fare.

★★★ · Yes, 'Moon Men' does mean 'aliens'! · Robbmeister X · 2013-11-10

A peculiar sword and sandals/sci-fi mashup, frequently paced like a giant snail but for the most part entertaining. Cool (possibly android) rock monsters, less cool dialogue and acting. Oddly quite enjoyable, like a cross between a cheapo Harryhausen knock-off and a Godzilla film. Does anyone have a copy of Hercules and the Sea Monster (from the same franchise) they'd like to put up?
