Watch Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris For Free

Must See Movie...

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Poisoned by watching Godzilla(2014), this was purely an antidote for me. Great plot, epic SFX, deep theme of what "heroic kaiju" is.... This film is OMEGA of Kaiju film. It reached the extreme. I don't think there will be any better Kaiju film for ever. And I'm not exaggerating about this. The technique of Tokusatsu (Japanese style SFX) is starting to lost because of CGI. It is common idea that Tokusatsu is old and dummy, and CGI is cool and dramatic.If you are one of them thinking that way, you HAVE to watch this film.The last battle between Gamera and Iris in Kyoto Station is the last but brightest light in history of Tokusatsu. It is so goresome, so terrifying, and so real. CGI would never "shocks" you as this last scene of the film.Seriously, if you are going to waste your money on something like Godzilla(2014) or Transformers, typical "dunno what is going on CGI", go back to classic. You will never regret it.

This is the best Gamera film ever the effects are awesome and Gamera looks scary in this film and he has a super fire breath that destroys everything. Irys looks very good and dangerous. Good acting good plot, Great CGI effects and Awesome monster battles. It's the best of the trilogy of the 90s. I like the graveyard of Gameras. And that crazy motherf**ker Kurata says that Gamera is a vessel but in the end he gets his ass kicked. Gamera loses his arm in the end and Irys is finally defeated. Shusuke Kaneko really knows how to make a movie. I love this movie is so bad ass great movie i like it awesome. The best of the Gamera series.

In the final installment to the Gamera trilogy, we have high school girl Ayana, played with cold assurance by Ai Maeda, grieving for her dead parents (inadvertently killed in the first Gamera movie and you can call that collateral damage) and hungry for revenge.As it turns out, in a cave she finds an egg which, legend says, will hatch into a demon. She nurtures the egg, it bursts open, and a cute little monster appears. She decides to name it Iris after her pet cat, also killed in Gamera's first attack. They develop a psychic link with one another and no small amount of affection although one's idea of affection is another's idea of dominance, but I digress.Meanwhile, giant birds (Gyaos) have decided to invade Japan yet again and Gamera makes its first appearance in Shinjuku and what an appearance it is. He literally drops out of the sky, toasts the entire area with fire, kills a few of the Gyaos...and a lot of the citizenry at the same time. He does save a little boy, though, so that sort of balances things out.We also have appearances by a shadowy agency monitoring Gamera and the other monsters. It seems that the government still doesn't trust Gamera no matter how many times its helped save the world. You can't really blame the government, though, as they have to consider the ordinary people. There is also a lot more death, and a few genuinely creepy moments, especially when Ayana literally bonds with a partially grown Iris. She opens her shirt, says "It's hot" and it verges on wish fulfillment by some unsatisfied middle-aged dudes who get their jollies out of looking at partially clad (or less) teenage girls. Verges on, but(IMO) never crosses over.In the climactic showdown between a fully grown Iris and Gamera, the giant turtle comes to the aid of humanity in a thrilling battle at a superbly constructed (and miniaturized) Kyoto Station. While the outcome is never really in doubt, getting there is half the battle and it's a thriller all the way.The pluses of this film are many. The music is excellent. It conveys menace and suspense. When Gamera first appears, the music underscores its arrival as if to say "Gamera is going to kick major butt". (And it does). The direction is also crisp and sure. Mr. Kaneko (director) understand the source material, uses a number of cinematic techniques showing the action from all participants, and keeps things moving. This is one of those rare kaiju movies where something is always happening.The acting is fine. Shinobu Nakayama as the lead scientist is as talented as she is pretty, Ayako Fujitani returns to help Ai Maeda understand what's involved when psychically linking up with a monster, and the other parts are also well handled. Ai Maeda, steely-eyed for the majority of the picture, shows how revenge can damage someone in more ways than one.I have to say that the special effects (models, CGI, people in rubber suits) are all used to their maximum advantage. All in all, this is probably THE finest monster mash ever made and worth seeing.The only drawback was the script occasionally verging into muddled territory when exploring the government's incompetence (a common theme in the Gamera trilogy) but that's relatively minor. This is one flick you should see.

Announcer: ... and this just in from Paris, a major nuclear catastrophe wiping out the entire Kingdom of Great Britain. But now we go to the big news of the day, that the recently retired King of Monsters, Godzilla, has brought to court a suit of plagiarism against longtime rival, Gamera, the flying turtle. And we are fortunate to have Godzilla and Gamera in the studio with us today. Godzilla, what made you decide to bring this suit to court so late in your career.God.: Well, I put off watching "Retard of Iris" for a long time, but one day, Rodan and me were having a few beers, so we popped it in and long before the movie ended, I realized i was watching pretty much the whole of my "Heisei" period distilled into some school-girl fantasy of what a Kaiju film might be. Gam.: Hold on there, lizard breath. We kaiju are a special breed. unfortunately that means there's just so many things we can do, then we have to do them all over again. How many times have you stomped Tokyo? How many ways are there that Tokyo can be stomped. I mean, let's be honest. God.: Honest?! There hasn't been a single movie you made that didn't steal something from one of mine - what about that monster of yours with the same name as one of mine, Baragon? Gam.: My monster's name is BarUgAn. In Japanese, inflection is everything. And then you had the gall to name some kid's rubber-suit fantasy bully directly after me in "Godzilla's Revenge". God.: I didn't make that movie! Honda took some of my home movies and patched them together, that material was not for public viewing. Gam.: Most of your films are not for public viewing, I mean they are SO bad! God.: Some of your later '60s stuff is such a mess, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. All those silly ten-year-old kids - are you a pedophile by any chance, shell-head? Announcer: Gentlemonsters, please - our audience! Gam.: Old nuke-for-brains here just doesn't get it - we are all made for children, that's why we're so lovable. God.: "Loveable"?! I'll have you know that when Ghidrah and me destroyed Tokyo in my last film, the audience held it's breath to see if it was still alive. Gam.: If that made sense, it would still sound stupid. Besides, didn't you think my fisting the bad-thing in "Revenge (that's REVENGE - you're the only retard here!) of Iris" in order to pull the girl out of its gut - now that's pretty darn awesome, if I do say so myself. God.: well, you're the only one who would say that. The fact remains that the Iris bad-thing is a direct rip-off of my enemy Biolante. Gam.: So who would know? That film bombed at the box-office. Besides, all that romantic mushy stuff - look, kids want to see kids; having a kid form an empathic connection with a beastie.... God.: is a direct rip-off of my Heisei series, but also of my big last battle with the "Terror of Mechagodzilla" in the Showa series. Admit it, I had your formula down to a science before you were ever born! Gam.: At least I WAS born, you keep getting 'created" by one human mistake or other. That's why kids like me - I'm really THERE, I mean, I have a heart, a soul, some kind of intelligence.... God.: Yeah, and you light your farts to fly! Gam.: You cheap dinner for lizard-mites! You tried to convince the world you killed me off in "Tokyo SOS"! Well, I got the last laugh, I think. You destroyed the world in "Final Wars", whereas I been born again in "The Brave" (2006). God.: See that's your problem - "born again" - religious hypocrite! The only thing born again about you is that all my ideas get born again in your movies! Gam.: If you ever had an idea, you wouldn't know what to do with it! At least I got the guts to risk doing it over and over again - I love the children in my audience, they're great fans, and they deserve a turtle hero; we all do. God.: It's "heroes" like you make my stomach turn. Tokyo is for stomping; saving it is an embarrassing display of something nearly (UGH!) human. Gam.: So that's what it comes down to! You just don't like people, do you?! God.: The earth was made for monsters! Gam.: and if that's the case, I deserve my place on it too.Announcer: Mr. Godzilla, Mr. Gamera - I see we've run out of time, thank you for stopping by. One last question, this from a member of the audience just phoned in: Mr. Godzilla: bottom-line for "Revenge of Iris" - is it worth watching at all? God.: Well, yeah... it's kind of entertaining; if you like that sort of thing.
