Rob Humanick Slant Magazine No film featuring a half-dozen skyscraper-sized monsters duking it out can possibly justify being this lethargic. Apr 20, 2011 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The absolute worst possible daikaiju eiga made by an even remotely important film studio. Rated: 1/10 Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Jude H Makes all monsters attack look like a golden movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie is like All Monsters Attack/Godzilla's Revenge but worse. Who thought this was a good idea? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Want my hour and a half back! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite all the monster scenes being recycled from previous films, the linking story worked well, and a final showcase idea was an interesting end to the Showa Gamera series. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What is this? Pretty much every battle from the Gamera Showa series with a bunch of superhero ladies that live in a basket. The kids aren't too annoying in this one, but they're there and they don't do anything for the plot. There is only a few seconds of new Gamera footage and they're very cheap looking. It's a nice way to see all the battles in one setting, but the story and characters are down right awful. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie in which Gamera faces all his past foes in one film, the concept alone should have made for an interesting flick. However, all the footage of the monsters is stock footage. So basically you are watching all of Gamera's battles from his previous films, which is not a movie but merely a glorified clip-show. The plot is only their to connect the stock footage sequences in a very contrived manner. If I wanted to watch Gamera's past battles I would either watch those movies again or look them up on youtube. The alien spaceship is a such a blatant rip-off of the Imperial Star Destroyer, that I'm surprised that George Lucas did not sue somebody. This movie was supposed to save the studio from bankruptcy but it ended up putting the final nail in their coffin because the movie flopped upon release. This movie is the "Godzilla's Revenge" of the Gamera franchise, it is the absolute low-point of the series. It is awful no matter how you look at it.
