PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is the fifth Gamera movie. The first four Gamera movies are good. This is better. The sixth Gamera movie Gamera vs monster X is better. The seventh Gamera movie Gamera vs Zigra is better. The eight Gamera movie Gamera Super monster is better. The reboot Gamera guardian of the universe is also better. The few the to reboot Gamra 2 attack of Legion is also better. The third Gamera movie in the new series Gamer 3 the revenge of Iris is also better. This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very scary. I do not no why it got a 3.8 it is a very awesome movie. I give an 8. It is no 3.8. That is just underrating it.

Aaron1375 The only Gamera films I have seen are the ones featured on the cult comedy riffing show, Mystery Science Theater 3000 with the exception of the trilogy made in the 90's. That being said, there were two Gamera films that I did not watch as I believe there was one in between Gaos and this one and this one and Zigra. So the last film I had seen was Gaos, which was my favorite of the Showa era Gamera films as it did have a kid, but it was still relatively dark too. In this one, however, Gamera is indeed a friend to children through and through and doing lots of goofy stuff. Granted, Godzilla had his moments of zaniness too as the film titled Godzilla's Revenge in the United States featured a boy visiting a dream monster land. Godzilla vs Megalon also featured a child in a more prominent role as did the one where Godzilla fought Hedorah. Though with both Megalon and Hedorah, the kid's role was more akin to the child in Gaos rather in this one where the whole plot of the movie revolves around Gamera trying to save two boys who get taken to another planet. The Gamera series would continue for three more films after this one and they would continue to feature Gamera and children while Godzilla would actually end his first run with the two less campy Mecha Godzilla films.The story in this one has people talking about the possibility of aliens communicating with the Earth, but that is not important. What is important is that two boys who are friends and the sister of one of the boys sees a spaceship land and they investigate the next day. The two boys go in and push buttons and accidentally launch themselves into space where they are whisked away. Fortunately, Gamera follows after them though he is a bit slower than the ship they hijacked. Soon the boys find themselves on a planet where there are two female aliens and lots of monsters. Lots of Gaos anyways and a monster with a blade for a head called Guiron. The sister remains on Earth and no one believes her story of the boys flight into space. Soon Gamera and Guiron will fight and the boys must try to escape the planet and the two female aliens who want to eat their brains! This made for a pretty good episode of MST3K, but I have to wonder just how bad the dubbing and such make this film. There are so many crazy lines such as the one boy constantly referring to planets as stars and always talking about the perfect planet with no traffic accidents. I have to say that the bad dubbing is where most of the best jokes takes place though the monsters fighting is pretty good too as Guiron chopping up Gaos was pretty cool. One of the jokes that got stale though was the fact that the one kid vaguely resembled Richard Burton. They even did a whole skit on it that took entirely too long as I just did not see that much of a resemblance...the kid looked more like Chunk from the Goonies to me.So, this one is a step back from Gaos. Not sure if the previous film was where the goofiness began, but in this one it is in full effect. It also doesn't help that the film had such a minimalist quality to it, like it was from one of those shows from Japan like Ultraman, rather than an actual film. I can sort of understand that they may have wanted to change things up as both Barugon and Gaos had the same type of plot of monster appears, Gamera fights it, loses and has to stay on the sideline for a bit as humans try and figure their own way of dealing with the monster, but here the only thing difference is there were no human plans. Everything else is the same, Gamera comes, fights, sort of loses and then comes back later for a final showdown. Only in this one, you just do not have all that much cool stuff going on.

gigan-92 What? Is that logical? Absurdity takes new meaning with is film. The year is 1969, so at this point both Godzilla and Gamera were in the pits. Hell, 1969 was the fateful year Toho released "Godzilla's Revenge" and I'm quite sure Godzilla would never sink so low again. However, the worse had yet to come for the original Gamera series. That's not to say "Gamera vs. Guiron", also known as "Attack of the Monsters", isn't a bad movie because yes, yes it is, but compared to crapfest like "Gamera vs. Zigra" this film excels. At one point a child hypothesizes Gamera can reach speeds up to Mach 60…I'll be damned.You would've thought the company Daiei and its writers would've learned from "Gamera vs. Viras" that children and spaceships don't go together. However, at the very least we are shown a new planet, Tera, in an attempt to divulge a better plot. For all its campy ridiculousness, it's an admittedly interesting story for a monster movie sucker like me. Making children the protagonists is probably its greatest blunder. Guiron himself is a weird monster, but I suppose more attractive than Jiger. Still, Guiron looks like something you'd see in, I don't know, Pokémon? The Space Gyaos are an interesting facet of the story and some frightfully odd yet amusing action sequences take place. Zany and peculiar, definitely cheesy as hell, but a gas to watch and scrutinize.

WakenPayne this is Hysterical the effects are horrible but MTS3K spoofed it which explains it completely (haven't seen any of the episodes just seen the movie) Gamera is a flying space turtle (who hangs around KIDS and a guy in a suit). Gayos is a pterodactyl that is silver and shoots rays out it's mouth (or a guy in a suit). Guiron is a knife headed 4 legged monster (or a guy in a suit for that matter) anyway these kid actors are THE WORST OF THE 60'S. all in all a crappy monster film... but a great comedy. Unlike Godzilla meets bolante there are more things to laugh about like the dialogue "I dream of a world without wars or traffic accidents" yeah TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS this element goes on throughout the whole movie.
