Ilyas Z @Zellai Dec 17 The 2ND Best Gamera Film Of All Time And Is An Underrated GEM!!! Overall: 9/10 See more Hongru O @Hongru Dec 6 A nice movie with pretty good effects. See more Justin T @RT08580778 05/14/2025 The shaky camera of this era of filmmaking is so nauseating. I hate it. This has a pretty boring first half with plot holes and a really goofy looking Gamera. It’s definitely worse than the previous trilogy. The music is just plain bad. It’s very different from all of the other films, taking nothing great from the previous films and adding nothing great of its own. I concede that it has good acting. Having the city smashing during the day makes it look worse. Not the worst of the franchise but also not very entertaining. See more 05/31/2021 The trilogy before this were all good, old-school Kiaju movies. But the first half of this is much more as if Disney had made a film about a young Japanese boy, his small gang of friends , and the adventures they have with his unusual pet. That pet being a magic turtle, that can fly and breath fire. . Another way i can try to explain the difference between this and previous films is through their use of a specific cliche early on. In this, there hasn't been a monster attack in many years. So anyone who suggests that mysterious events might be caused by monsters is, of course, ridiculed for suggesting such things. Then surprise, surprise, it turns out they were right all along. Who'd have thought it? My point is that in the previous films, that tired old cliche would have been an extra laugh. But here it's just cringe-worthy. Even the effects here are different and a bit more Disney-ish somehow. Gameras flying was hysterically funny and "b-movie" before. Now even that looks like something straight off of a children's TV channel. . There is also a bit too much of the young boys splashing each other with water, playfully trying to pull each others trunks off, and laying on the floor together damp and out of breath after physical exertion. If Disney didn't wish that they'd made this film, then Jimmy Saville or Johnathon King certainly would have liked too. . That aside, this film is much less like Godzilla, and much more like The Goonies. Which i hate with a passion. . It's not until a full half way through this that we get what we came for, big monsters fighting. But sadly, this only looks even more like it's made to be a film for little kids than the rest of it already has. And it only gets worse afterwards. . So i have to admit that 55 minutes in i started just skimming through the rest of this film, looking for any bits that might be worth watching. I didn't find any. . The three films before this were all great fun, and even classics in their own way (to me anyway). But this is the very worst, pandering, generic sack of garbage possible. And if it is meant to be a film for little kids, then how are any of them going to understand any of the references to past events in films that were not child friendly, and are at least 8 to 10 years older than this is?! See more 02/07/2021 After three movies that are decidedly not very child-friendly, Gamera the Brave is an interesting and refreshing return to the franchise's roots. This movie has one of the best Gamera designs and one of the best villains. See more 01/03/2020 Good movie wrath the monney See more Read all reviews
