Watch Gamera: Super Monster For Free

Why so much hype?

Pretty Good

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

My score mainly reflects my feelings when I first watched this movie, more than 30 years ago. Super monster was one of my favorite movies when I was a little boy back in the 80s. Yes, it is corny, yes if you watch it now you may think it is garbage, yes the monsters now look like rubber toys, and the airplanes are made of plastic, but 35 years ago I paid to see it in the theater 10 times in a row and it used to feed my boyish imagination for many a night. The song is forever stuck in my head and I often catch myself humming it even now. It is a great flick for the right people and brings memories of different times. Go Gamera! :)

Eighth and final Gamera film from Daiei studios in a last, desperate(and failed) attempt to stave off bankruptcy itself presents an artistically bankrupt story about (you guessed it) a mysterious alien battleship(just like from "Star Wars") that threatens the Earth, and proceeds to somehow resurrect all of Gamera's dead foes(via all flashback footage!) to throw at him, before it fulfills its suicide mission against it... Subplot with three alien women with super powers is utterly tacky and idiotic; conclusion a sad way to end this series, a truly jaw-dropping fiasco. Similar in premise to the nadir of the first Godzilla series "Godzilla's Revenge/All Monsters Attack".

Gamera Super Monster is a strangely enjoyabe film, especially since it is just a bunch of old footage re edited into the story of a kid and his pet turtle, and good female aliens vs. bad female aliens. Die hard fans of the genre have something against the campy and cheesy, when the fact is not every giant monster movie is supposed to portray a grim message about nuclear weapons, or interfering with nature.This movie is joyful through and through, never taking a break from action and (mis)adventure, with characters that are very fun to watch. The little boy, who most would find annoying, has a certain goofiness to his character. Remember people, this is a film for the children. This movie shows how cheap it is, but you aren't able to realize it because it gets you so caught up in the fantasy. This is one of the greatest escapist fantasies out there. From the first battle with Barugan all the way to the destruction of Zigra, all Gamera's greatest fights are highlighted in this nonstop action packed adventure for the whole family. Also, watch for the anime characters! And if that is not enough, the enemy space ship may seem a little familiar to you....

Gamera, what a movie........ My mom and my brother took me to watch this film when I was very young and it has never left my psyche since! For me, it was one of the best films I've ever seen. Not just with the mindset of a child from the 80's, but also because I believe that you gauge a good movie by assessing how much it affected you....... In my case, It started a whole new genre for me in being a great fan of Japanese movie making and writing. No matter how cheesy the script was back then, Gamera and the 3 hero chicks in that movie instilled in me a fascination that only a true blue child fan would absorb, a lifetime of fantasy! Thus, all I have to say is, lucky are you few to know of such a movie.......... You are not alone.
