    Another brilliant entry in the updated Gamera movies of the late 90's.

    A meteor lands in Japan and turns out to be a giant space monster and then Gamera shows up to kick its ass.
    This is probably one of the best giant monster movies I have ever seen. Whenever Gamera showed up, I was excited to see him. Lots of fun and definitely worth checking out.

    This is another great new Gamera movie. I loved it. It is part 2 of a trillogy. See it with Guardian of the Universe & Revenge of Iris

    Although the story is a bit more slower paced, the second entry in the trilogy is still worthy of its predecessor. Not to mention that the monster designs are excellent.

    My least favorite of the Kaneko trilogy, it still beats just about any other Kaiju flick out there. To be honest with you, I just remember not being able to pay that much attention when I watched it, so I would have to give it6 another go, but I still remember some parts to be ab...( read more)out as effective as anything ever seen in a Kaiju movie.

    Finally a Japanese monster movie that has a good sense of humor and a well thought out plot line ---- I love all monster movies but usually their plots are equal to that of a porno ---- This DVD comes with lots of extras including a very amusing version entitled "Lake Texarkana Gamera" its like a southern trailer park version of the movie
