Review of The Guyver (1991) by Marco R — 23 Jan 2011
I had fond memories of this about 15 years ago (in the uk this was mutronics the movie for some reason??), I loved the character of the guyver especially in the manga tv series so I remember really enjoying this.
Now though I can see this for what it is a really cheap bad looking b movie, The effects are ok in some parts but basically its men in rubber monster suits running around hitting each other. The guyver suit looks ok but the effects needed to pull this off just wern't available in 1991.because of this the makers obviously thought we better slapstick it up with some dreadful comedy thrown in to take you mind of the rubber suits. It just doesnt work im afraid.One of mark hamill's films after star wars and he turns into a giant cockroach,hmm so thats why his acting career didnt go very far!
In all seriousness there is a film story here that could be done amazingly with todays effects, hollywood give me 50mill and i'll make you a blockbuster!!
