Anderson O The Guyver differentiates from its source material but solid live action film. Unique in the time of sc-fi horror and adventure elements, mark hamil is strong as a supporting cast member. Pacing and humor is so-so but not the most entertaining of adaptions. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review connor s I love this movie it is way out of its time for being so low budget the effects are amazing and the yr this came out awesome that this studio could something like this film off.

Star studded-cast, some absolutely insanely good effects for the time it was made. Just all around fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review Audience Member How weird was it when The Guyver just randomly showed up in my local video store, unannounced, bringing Japan weirdness into my 19-year-old movie rental obsession life? When Dr. Tetsu Segawa steals the Guyver unit from the villainous company he's been working for, his daughter's boyfriend Sean accidentally finds it, puts it in his backpack and has it fuse with his body after he's attacked by a street gang. That makes him a marked man by Fulton Balcus (David Gale) and his gang of Zoanoid mutants, which includes Lisker (Michael Berryman), M.C. Striker (Jimmie Walker) and Weber (Spice Williams-Crosby). Directed by Screaming Mad George and Steve Wang, this movie has some of the wildest effects I've ever seen, full body suits that still look great thirty years after I first watched this. I'm also still surprised that Mark Hamill is in this, while not as surprised that Jeffrey Combs and Linnea Quigley are in this. Based loosely on the Yoshiki Takaya manga, this takes a lot of liberties with its inspiration, but for someone in the very landlocked small Western Pennsylvania town that I grew up in, finding this on the shelves of Prime Time Video was like some kind of magic, bringing something I thought I would never see to a place that I thought I would never get out of. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Sp Q I think that this is a good movie. Yes the special effects are absolutely horrible but, hold on a second, it's 1991. CGI wasn't even a thing. Special effects were pretty much awful in all lines of cinematic entertainment. I think that you have to look at it in context. It's not a great movie but I think that to compare it to modern day movies of the same ilk is pretty ridiculous. The action is quite good and I've seen worse acting and also worse choreography. I'm 41 and I remember watching it at around 14 or so. I enjoyed it. I watched it the other day and I still enjoyed it. Of course, it looked poor by comparison to modern day movies in regards to special effects. But I think that three stars is a fair rating. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/21 Full Review Audience Member It is so outdated in its special effects and the cheese factor is wayyyy over the top, but as a very early 90's monster feature, its passable.
