      Irelia I no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Gamera vs Gyaos is an improvement on its predecessor thanks to its introduction of one of the giant turtle's best villains and more monster action. The kid is annoying, but thankfully also pretty forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The strongest entry in the series so far, and introduces Gamera's nemesis Gyaos. For a 60's Kaiju movie, this is a great one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member My favourite gamera movie (btw all the original movies are so bad they're good kind of movies) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm sure this movie is better if one can get over how stupid Gyaos looks, but I couldn't. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Gamera VS. Gaos is the third film in the Gamera series, which is about a giant tortoise who now defends Japan against other mutated creatures like him. This one is also a bit of a return to the formula of the first one, which featured more scenes of Gamera fighting, less plot and a child to pander to the young audience. It's really about the same as previous films, but is only slightly better than the last, which was sparse on the actual fighting and tried to come up with more of a story. This film doesn't do that, and it gears solely towards the fighting. Later films pandered absolutely towards children, but this is before that happened. This is also another Gamera film that was taken to town successfully on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy More than a little incompetent most of the time, but it has such an irresistible enthusiasm for being thus deranged that it's impossible not to fall in love with it a little bit. Rated: 5/10 Sep 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
