There is no denying that this is a derivative work - it clearly would not exist without Toho's reptilian giant - but within that framework it does feel like its own thing.

Rated: 7/10

Antagony & Ecstasy

Silly, nonsensical, incoherent, and wildly unconvincing, and there's not a single frame of it that isn't hilarious.

Rated: 4/10

Gamera has no qualms about incinerating an entire club filled with anti-authoritarian beatniks with his fiery breath, but saves a small annoying boy from falling to his death!

... the sober approach slips into silliness with a giddy space age ending%u2014and ultimately that's the film's charm.

A very cheap knock off of godzilla that besides a few fun destruction scenes is just very mediocre

While not innovative, and it lacks in multiple areas that make it pale in comparison to the other Kaiju films of its time, the original Gamera film is a solid start that contains impressive set pieces of that sweet Kaiju action. Rating: 50%

What could be better than a 200' turtle with fire coming out of its shell? This movie is out of the 50 SciFi Classics collection. If u enjoy old sci fi, u will love this Japanese flick.

I like this movie. Is also considered one of my favorite Kaiju movies of all time. Besides godzilla and King Kong and ultraman. I would make a reboot about this movie.
