I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
So much average
good back-story, and good acting
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Please note that this review is for the full length, original Japanese version of the movie. Sure the Sandy Frank versions are hilarious, especially on MST3K, but they do not properly express the original film or it's more intelligent dialogue. Unfortunately when most people review the Gamera movies, it's probably based on these inferior, sillier American versions. By no means am I calling this a great film, but it is pretty much a nonstop focus on the adventure even if Gamera doesn't get as much face time. As usual though, our title character shows up with half an hour left and does endless battle with the evil, unstoppable Guiron who loves sawing his/her/it's victims into bits and pieces with his dull looking yet razor sharp fin. He also has some awesome ninja like shuriken to launch at his foes. Guiron is a pleasure to watch on the screen as are our two main characters Akio and Tom. Very reminiscent of Invaders From Mars, these two lead kids see aliens land, no one believes them and eventually they are inside the flying saucer. This all happens quite fast and the rest of the film focuses on the child actors trying to escape from the planet of Terra where they have encountered very shifty aliens who seem kind and gentle at one moment and cannibalistic the next. As far as visuals go, the matte work is pretty awful, but I really enjoy the look of the spaceship(s) and the alien planet. There's no question you have to be a fan of Godzilla or Ultraman to appreciate this film series, but if you take the time to delve into the Gamera universe, make sure you do so with the Japanese versions. They will still make you smirk, but I assure you in this original version you will find a film like Gamera Vs Guiron smarter and a bit more serious than you expected...
Campfest Gamera returns in this dozy of a movie where two boys stumble upon a flying saucer and ended up being flown to space. They are confronted by two women aliens who hypnotize the children so they would became rations for them later on. Throw in a knife-nosed space monster named Guiron, a little girl's pleas to the adults about the alien abduction, and a corny Officer named Cornjob into the mix and you have a Gamera flick that tips the cheese scale.Like the previous movie, this story utilizes the recycled alien-invasion plot. The special effects were pretty awful; the monster suits were not realistic or imaginative at all and the monster battle scenes were very campy (Gamera doing gymnastics on a high bar while fighting Guiron?!). And, the character development and substance were non-existent.Again, this film looks like an episode of a children's variety show. I know the filmmakers wanted to target the younger audience, but, at least, throw in some heroic and purposeful adult characters and make the plot elements sound at least believable (the lead kid characters want world peace and an end to traffic accidents?!).There are some scenes that are so bad, it's fun to watch, and, have to say some scenes of the aliens pursuing the kids were a little thrilling. Watch only if you like extreme camp and cheese factor. Grade D
Like many others, I was introduced to this movie on MST3K, and while it's hard to forget a lot of the humor they added to it, it's still genuinely weird and charming on its own merits. Although yes, that little girl does look like a little old lady, and the white mom does indeed look like David Bowie.This is very much a children's kaiju movie, in fact while watching it I thought it was a lot like something out of a kid's imagination- the monster with a knife for a head, the strangely sexy space women, the awesome pet/big brother/guardian that is Gamera. I like the kid-like logic the boys display when they try to disable a teleporter's control mechanism by pulling the knobs off, then smashing them with rocks. Or the deadpan seriousness on Akio's face, when he informs Tom that Gamera can easily attain speeds in excess of Mach 60, except if he did he'd blast clear out of the solar system. It's the same tone in which a young modern geek would tell you that Pikachu requires a Thunder Stone in order to evolve to Raichu.The SFX are good, the little space city looks really great. The costumes aren't on the level of a Godzilla movie, but in this day and age of digital effects, it's pretty hard to suspend one's disbelief when watching a rubber kaiju battle anyway, and I choose to enjoy them for what they are rather than what they could be. Overall this movie was a lot of fun, a great movie for the kids.
this is Hysterical the effects are horrible but MTS3K spoofed it which explains it completely (haven't seen any of the episodes just seen the movie) Gamera is a flying space turtle (who hangs around KIDS and a guy in a suit). Gayos is a pterodactyl that is silver and shoots rays out it's mouth (or a guy in a suit). Guiron is a knife headed 4 legged monster (or a guy in a suit for that matter) anyway these kid actors are THE WORST OF THE 60'S. all in all a crappy monster film... but a great comedy. Unlike Godzilla meets bolante there are more things to laugh about like the dialogue "I dream of a world without wars or traffic accidents" yeah TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS this element goes on throughout the whole movie.
