Customer Reviews of Gamera - Guardian of the Universe (Custom Art Box)
This movie has EVERYTHING! The flying turtle! The battle with Gayos! Giant bird poo! Stomping on buildings! And never ride the train in Tokyo because.. the train always gets destroyed! Gamera always gets a little sloppy, and oops! There goes another building! I'm running out of exclamation points!!! <

>I was a fan of these films when I was a kid, and it took me by suprise that there was a remake in the 90's. I picked up the boxed set and was pleasantly surprised to find that they kept the man-in-the-suit look, the hilarious dubbing, and all of the main staples of good old Japanese monster movie mayhem. No CGI here, plenty of miniatures and slow-mo sloshing water. There's something about those special effects that has a campy nostalgic feel, and it works. I was cheering like a kid watching this film - here he comes! Gamera! I gave it four stars because, well, come on, it is a monster movie, but it does exactly what it set out to do.
Return of The Kaiju
Mega-turtle Gamera sleeps in the deep and is summoned forth by a girl who retains a sympathetic connection through a comma-shaped rock pendant, to do battle with an old enemy in Gyaos, the monster pterodactyl who feasts on human beings. Gamera's whereabouts are divulged when a team of oceanographers discover an island which conceals a mystical megalith encribed with actual Futhark runes, describing the prophesy of the monsters returning when the world is in perceived environmental peril.*

>The little humans are predictably afraid of the monsters, and seek to destroy both of them, despite Gamera's heroic inclinations, but after awhile, they realize Gamera is the only great beast who can battle Gyaos, who has set up nest atop Tokyo Tower in the middle of the city. Instead of luring the giant away, the seemingly idiotic military deem to destroy the pterodactyl right there amidst the metropolitan surroundings. Their battle destroys the city at the cost of only a few human lives {in which Gyaos treats herself to "canned human" as she peels away subway trains, shaking the residents into her mouth}.

>With the help of the life-force of the girl, Gamera gathers up enough energy to defeat Gyaos, which takes them from the city to the ocean, and even into outer space. Though Gamera receives some potent blows, thus also effecting the girl, he prevails in the end, with a nod of recognition.
