Diagonaldi Very well executed

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very scary. The sequel Gamera vs Barugon is better. The third Gamera movie Gamera vs Gyaos is also better. The fourth movie Gamera vs Viras is also better. The fifth movie Gamera movie Gamera vs Guiron is also better. The sixth Gamera movie Gamera vs Monster X is also better. The seventh Gamera movie Gamera vs Zigra is also better. The eighth Gamera movie Gamera super monster is also better. The reboot Gamera guardian of the universe is also better. The sequel to the reboot Gamera attack of the legion is also better. The third part to the reboot series Gamera 3 the revenge of Iris is also better. But still this a great movie. It is very scary. 5.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 5.1 is underrating it. I give it 7. This is one great horror film.

OllieSuave-007 This is the American version of the very first Gamera movie, where an atomic explosion awakens the fire-breathing turtle monster from his hibernation and causing him to go on a destructive spree on Tokyo. U.S. footage with American actors were inserted and I couldn't tell if they contributed to the plot or not since I at the time of this review haven't seen the original. However, I do recall that most of those scenes involving endless meetings of the authorities in how to deal with the monster was boring because it distracts from the monster action. The special effects were decent as you can see a good dose of Gamera stomping on buildings and setting them on fire. And, you have a simple plot of the humans trying to think of a plan to stop this horror. Other than that, I thought this was pretty much a below average monster movie, one that precedes just over a half-dozen very childish and kid- oriented Gamera movies with recycled alien-invasion plots. Somehow, this first Gamera movie doesn't have that charm, riveting monster horror and intrigue that most other Japanese monster films, especially those made by rival movie studio Toho, have. From what I can see for just the American version of the film, it is a very typical and basic monster-on-the-loose flick.If you want to see more exciting and sophisticated Gamera movies, check those from the 1990s era.Grade D+

SanteeFats This another Japanese movie about a destructive monster. This time they bring in Brian Donlevy to add some punch even though his role is actually pretty minor. But hey he is a good actor. So here is Gammera awoken from a 200 million year frozen sleep by the shooting down of a Russian bomber, loaded with a nuke, that is over US territory. It seems Gammera is only looking for a food source but his source is the humans problem because his appetite is for energy of one kind or another. In this quest it causes a lot of destruction and causalities. In a rather humorous ending they manage to trap Gammera in an enclosure that is resting on top of a space rocket. They launch it towards Mars. Since it seems able to survive most anything I guess there will be more.

Michael_Elliott Gamera the Invincible (1966) ** (out of 4) The stupid American government drops an atomic bomb at the North Pole and soon the gigantic turtle named Gamera is set free. He flies across the world before landing in Tokyo to destroy the city. I'm not a huge fan of these Japanese monster films but this one works….a little. Some of the special effects are nice including one scene where Gamera destroys a chemical plant but there's some laughable moments as well. I watched the English dubbed version, which gets a few more laughs due to the silly track.
