Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

AaronCapenBanner Eighth and final Gamera film from Daiei studios in a last, desperate(and failed) attempt to stave off bankruptcy itself presents an artistically bankrupt story about (you guessed it) a mysterious alien battleship(just like from "Star Wars") that threatens the Earth, and proceeds to somehow resurrect all of Gamera's dead foes(via all flashback footage!) to throw at him, before it fulfills its suicide mission against it... Subplot with three alien women with super powers is utterly tacky and idiotic; conclusion a sad way to end this series, a truly jaw-dropping fiasco. Similar in premise to the nadir of the first Godzilla series "Godzilla's Revenge/All Monsters Attack".

Raizzor Everyone has their own view of this movie, but unless you take into consideration the reason it was made and the target audience, you may find yourself giving it a lower review then it deserves.Super Monster Gamera is MEANT to be a cheap, fun, lazy film. It's nothing more then a blending of the entire series sprinkled with a new plot to tie the battles together.It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's not meant to deliver an important issue, and it's not meant to WOW the audience with late 80's special effects.It's just a kid's film; no more, no less.With that in mind, Super Monster Gamera is by far my fave of the original Gamera series. Six monster battles, a catchy opening theme song, great music and very.. very... VERY bad acting! What a perfect Saturday afternoon popcorn treat.For those who HATE it. Ask yourself why you hate it? If it's because it's not new, not acted well and not up to your standards of special effects, then you're not seeing it for what it was meant to be.Now, if only I could find the soundtrack of the BGM!!

DarthGonzo Just because it's cheap, cheap, cheap doesn't mean it's not fun, fun, fun. And to be honest, Supermonster Gamera is a blast from start to finish. It's great to see all of Gamera's foes in one movie, even if it is all stock footage. The best thing about the film without a doubt is the awesome musical score, especially some of the battle themes. I have a weird fondness for this movie I cant explain. I like it better than some of Gamera's more legit films. If you can find a copy of either the Japanese or American versions, I seriously urge you to watch it with an open mind. Gamera rules!!

quahogq Many Kaiju fans hate this film for its constant use of stock footage. In fact, most of the special FX were stock footage and the few new ones were really cheap, but if you can see past these flaws, Super Monster becomes a very charming, appealing, and entertaining movie. The plot revolves around a young boy whose pet turtle turns into Gamera, the Super Monster of the title,(or something like that anyway) in order to rid the world of an army of monsters created by the pirate aliens of Zanon who want to take over the world. Gamera is assisted in his mission by his former boy master and a trio of Space Women. Out to stop the heros is an evil space woman named Giloki. Stock footage battle after stock footage battle then ensues. Ironicly, though, the stock footage adds to the film rather that detracts from it. This is the last of the classic Gamera series and re-showing all of Gamera's battles is like taking a fun little stroll down memory lane. It is a thrill to remember a great series greatest moments. It kind of plays like a "memories of" special of a famous television series. The few new special effects sequences that were in the film were very well done considering the budget. I personally think that when Gamera arrives for the first time in the movie by flying over the city is the high point of the entire series. The human elements of the story were also very well done and very appealing in a child-like sort of way.So in conclusion, you will probably hate this movie the first time you see it but if you give it a chance you will learn to like it. I just learned to love it and know it is my favorite movie of all time.
