Audience Member Daimajin is found at the top of a mountain, above a village where an evil lord has forced men into work camps. This sends their sons to rescue them, which takes them past the statue of Daimajin, which they take the time to pay proper respect to. However, the big bad has decided that he can openly disrespect the statue, which leads to the same thing that happens in all three of these films: Daimajin goes wild and ruins the evil empire. Written by Tetsurô Yoshida, this movie was directed by Kazuo Mori (Forty-Eight Hours to Kill), this film focuses on four young boys who are trying to save their fathers and discover that they have a psychic link to Daimajin. This is the only film in the trilogy that wasn't released in the U.S. during the 1960s and it didn't have an English dub until Mill Creek Entertainment released it on blu ray in 2012. While these films were all shot together to save time and money, they're all interesting in their own ways. This one feels more of a children's story, except that our heroes face incredible danger throughout. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best giant monster movies ever made. Right up there in the top 5 easily. Holy shit Is this good. Can't wait to watch the others in the series. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Daimajin 2 - has a slight edge on the first film, but follows a very similar formula. (This is "Return of Daimajin" not "Wrath of Daimajin"/"Daimajin Strikes Again" which is the third film.) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A step down from the first. Complicated by too many characters, too many clans and too many attempts by the good guys and bad guys to outwit one another. The special effects are just as good as the first's though. Really, they're something to behold. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the second of three films about a stone statue used by a god to punish evil doers. This follows all of the same beats originally established by the first Diamajin movie. This is going to be difficult for some viewers, especially those accustomed to stunts and explosions, to sit through. The whole movie is dependent on the anticipation and later enjoyment of the vengeance wrought by the giant stone warrior. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The immediately produced sequel is not really a sequel. The characters and settings are completely different, yet pretty much the same story is told all over again. Nothing new here...
