This is a great movie. It is better the Gamera guardian of the universe . This better then Gamera 2 Attack of legion. This is better then Gamera the invincible. This a better then Gamera vs Barugon. This is better then Gamera vs Gyaos. This is better then Gamera vs Viras. This is better then Gamera vs Guiron. This better then Gamera vs Monster X. This is better then Gamera vs Zigra. Super monster it better. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is also very scary. 7.4 is a good ratting. But this such a good movie that 7.4 is underrating it. I give this movie an 8 it is awesome.

This time Gamera, who is still channelling a young women, takes on Isis, an immense tentacled monster who also has a psychic connection to a young women. The resulting fights, especially the climatic showdown in the Kyoto train station are spectacular but overall, the film starts to get a bit repetitive towards the end. The whole Gamera as some sort of 'Gaia guardian' story arc is starting to wear thin, as is the magical pendant sub-plot. Isis (named for a cat who was a collateral fatality the last time Gamera saved humanity) is somehow connected with an ancient religious site and a magic stone. As well, there is an annoying, pretentious sort-of-Goth guy who drones on about the end of mankind. Most of the pseudo-spiritual backstory made little sense to me and (IMO) contributed nothing to the film (which at its core is a monster movie). I also didn't much like the realisation of "Isis", which was not particularly well done in some of the flying scenes and in general, looked too much like a crossover from the 'mecha' genre. Again, lots of good 'army mobilization' footage as the JDF is once again recruited to futilely shoot at the rampaging Kaija. Overall: OK (probably good to very good for fans) but (IMO) the weakest of the three Heisei Gamera offerings.

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.

The '90s Gamera returns for a third time in his final second series movie, where schoolgirl Ayana, hungry for revenge against Gamera for inadvertently killing her parents, raises a small monster named Iris and, as the creature grows up, plans to use Iris to exact revenge against the flying turtle. However, the world is threatened again by the Gyaos creatures, pitting them against Gamera once more.The special effects for the movie were awesome - very sophisticated and detailed - and the monster action was great. The acting was mostly good, with the exception of Ai Maeda as Ayana, whom I thought gave a very wooden performance. It appears that all she could do was to make these solemn and angry faces, showing like she doesn't care for other people or what's going on around her.The appearances of the Gyaos creatures remind you of continuity in the series and make you wonder how Gamera plans to deal with the creatures for a final time. There is a little tension built-up as the Iris creature grows in size, making you wonder what Iris plans to do when he reaches his adult form.Despite all the monsters, action and awesome special effects, I wasn't too keen on this movie as many viewers are. I'm probably in the minority in this, but I think this movie lacks the thrills and intrigue of the previous movie (Attack of the Legion). That movie has suspense built-up that keeps you glued to the screen and a fast-paced plot that gains momentum. This movie has too many subplots going on (Ayana's revenge, humankind debating Gamera's allegiance, the cultists, the return of the Gyaos birds), which make the story difficult to follow at times. ***spoiler ahead*** And, the ending with the Gyaos creatures doesn't provide a very conclusive ending to the film and the series, and it leaves much plot-threads hanging. ***spoiler ends*** Again, it's still a movie full of monster action, pretty good acting and great special effects, but it falls a little short in momentum.Grade C+
