Review of Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995) by Gavin S — 14 Jun 2007

Before this movie Gamera was just a cheap Godzilla knockoff aimed at kids. However, once this movie was made his true potential was realized. Completely revamped from the original films, this version of Gamera sees him as a bio-weapon created by an ancient, destroyed civilization to defend them from the Gyaos, another of their creations.

the special effects aren't always perfect, but they are light years better than the Godzilla movies of the same period. An excellent beginning to a new series.
