Rob Humanick Slant Magazine The film entire isn't nearly as much fun as it should be, but for those with a cheeky fondness for city-scale monster mashes, there are some fleeting pleasures. Apr 20, 2011 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is the end of an era, and it is ending on the proverbial whimper. Rated: 3/10 Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy A long, directionless, life-stealing amble through a plot that just never, ever starts to make sense. Rated: 3/10 Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Jude H One of the worst movies ever Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Audience Member "Fish Argument Theater will be right back, but first, a scene from Plot Convenience Playhouse." Riff rating: 🐢🐢🐢 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A moon base is destroyed by a spaceship with a cluster of gumballs on its head. Later, at Sea World, dolphins are dying mysteriously. Zigra kidnaps two men and two children (one of whom is a Coke addict - Coca Cola that is) and starts causing earthquakes. The two six-year olds somehow outwit Zigra and help their incapacitated fathers escape. The Zigra Woman, who can use her eyes to put people into comas, then chases them all over Sea World like an extended Benny Hill skit. Somewhere in this movie Gamera finally shows up, fights Zigra, who turns into a giant swordfish. That's not my review, that's the Letterboxd plot synopsis. Need I say more? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The last (main) Gamera film (the 1980 doesn't count to me) Gamera vs Zigra is bad, but is a very entertaining kaiju flick! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member They stopped caring about whether they should utilise their budget or not. Gamera's fight barely lasted 5 minutes. The story was essentially the same as previous instalment: Annoying kid doing stupid things and got himself into trouble, suddenly reporters want to know what's up, kid being smarter than every single adult in Japan, Gamera fights and credit roll. It went all scooby-doo this time, at least laughable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst kaiju films I've ever seen in my entire life. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
