Toho’s concurrent Heisei reboot of Godzilla concentrated on the government and army fighting the monsters rather than addressing the immense damage they caused; Gamera went in the opposite direction by having each movie be more personal than the last.

Rated: 5/5

Antagony & Ecstasy

One of the finest Japanese monster movies... nuanced in its story and character, bold in its visual dynamism.

Rated: 8/10

The final film in Gameras' second era closes with a dark, somber tone and offers the message of getting over resentment through one of the most exhilarating Kaiju films ever made. Rating: 85%

The special effects did get little worse, but it's one of best Heisei kaiju film I ever seen. I'm not saying It's one of the best kaiju films (If I was, that means I'm saying it's better than the Showa Godzilla films and Reiwa films.). The characters are more memorable, and story is fantastic. However, this film will not be one of the best kaiju sequels ever, since I prefer Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) to be better. Grade: Pretty good 8/10

A masterful deconstruction of the genre and themes that range from religious to severe trauma, Gamera 3 excels in story, characters and monster scenes that go above and beyond. A true masterpiece.

This is one of the best kaiju movies of all time. The plot is character-driven, and the characters are actually fleshed out and have clear motivations. The music, action, acting, and monsters are all great. This is peak Gamera. This is also a rare example of a trilogy that gets better with each film.
