  1. Gamera was never the butt of a joke, you idiot. All the movies before this film we're mostly awesome. This film honors and tributes the character AND the movies preceding it.

  2. I can always appreciate lovely Japanese women!. BTW, who the heck comes up with all the weird names: a Japanese Ministry of Giant Monsters?

  3. I love how you thoroughly review movies without giving away the entire plot or experience, other reviewers should take note

  4. I'm amazed at how well thought out and executed the fight scenes are in all three of these movies. It's like you're right in the middle and can feel each blow and explosion.

  5. This was my first Gamera movie. After so long of hearing whispers and praises about this movie from longtime Gamera fans and just tokusatsu fans as a whole, I half expected it to be smaller-than-life. I expected it to be a normal monster movie wrapped in layers of nostalgia.

    I've never been so wrong. Even as not a very big Gamera fan, I really liked the design of both him and Gyaos. And oh boy, even if I didn't love Gyaos enough already I love him even more now. I found the human characters bearable, which is a huge step up from other Gamera movies. And to my absolute shock, this movie is making me want to watch more Gamera movies. That being said, I'm not complaining!

  6. This trilogy is up there with the new Planet of the Apes, Snyder’s DC, Nolan’s Batman, Kung Fu Panda trilogies. These are the best giant monsters films. I can only wish Godzilla films could be this good. And I love Godzilla

  7. The only thing I don't like about this trilogy is Gamera's roar… It's kinda weird, looks like it's screaming like a person idk 😂 kinda make sense tho… But if Gamera return one day, they could change to a more animal-like roar, that would be cooler

  8. The Heisei Gamera are by far made for older audiences. They knew the kid-friendly crap ruined Gamera in the Showa era. Like it did to Godzilla as well. Heisei Godzilla films were clearly for older audiences. And Heisei Gamera did the same thing and did it well.

  9. i love in the opening clip, the absolute awe in that guy expression when he sees Gamera, you never really get to see that in the older Godzilla films

  10. I the eyes of Gyaos are the best part! He looks like a deranged lunatic, fitting for this satanic bird of death.

  11. I like the fact that Steven Segal's daughter is in this one. She is the girl in the yellow shirt, Ayako Fujitani. Steven Segal and Miyako Fujitani's daughter.

  12. I never saw gamers films as a child because they were so hard to find so watching them as an adult I didn’t enjoy them because it was too child friendly but this trilogy was badass got away from the annoying child actors

  13. I still remember Siskel & Ebert reviewing this seriously as a film and giving it a thumbs up. I have no doubt it's the only time in their years as film critics they gave any giant monster movie any praise, let alone actually recommending it to their audience. Even most of the dubbing was done more seriously than in most of the movies of the genre.

  14. The Heisei 90's was a great time for both Godzilla and Gamera – where Godzilla's reboot series ended on a high note, so Gamera's rebirth began the same way. Now the only question is – will there be a Godzilla vs. Gamera film from Legendary? I'm still holding hope for a Godzilla vs. Cthulhu film! (Fangasm!)

  15. Gamera Guardian of the universe reminds of HTTYD because Fugitani has a bond with Gamera much like Hiccup has a bond with Hiccup

  16. Honestly, This is where The Gamera movies (1995-1999) are hands down the all-time Best trilogy in Cinema History. Plus this trilogy help, Gamera. to step out of the shadows from Godzilla.
