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

Justin T This is definitely the best Gamera film so far. There is lots of kaiju action and a funny human story with some memorable characters and silly moments. There is enough city smashing to satisfy everyone. The special effects are surprisingly good, possibly better than the Godzilla films from the same era. I like the new monster Gyaos, it’s really great. Look out for the goofy workman floating away for no real reason, great moment. The film even had its own theme song at the end. I loved that! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review 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.
