GOOD GOD, THEY ARE SO BORING. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNND?!

*twitch*

Generally speaking, I like my tokusatsu films to have, you know, energy. Most of the Showa Gamera films are such f*cking slogs to watch.

So I tried to watch Gamera vs. Viras this morning and I was extremely bored. I don't know what I was smoking before but I need it again to enjoy that movie.

Using Jared's watchability scale, here's my updated rankings...

Love
Gamera Guardian of the Universe
Gamera 2 Advent of Legion
Gamera vs. Guiron
Gamera 3 Awakening of Iris
Gamera the Brave

Generally Very, Very Good
Gamera Vs. Gyaos
Gamera Vs. Barugon
...
Gamera Vs. Jiger

A Mad Trainwreck of Hilarity
Gamera the Giant Monster

Varying Stages of Unwatchability
Gamera Vs. Zigra
Gamera Vs. Viras

That Which Teaches You The Very Depths of Despair
Gamera the Super Monster

I'm FINALLY buying some of the Shout Factory DVDs and planning to do a re-watch of the series before G-Fest.

I probably need to revisit all of them in the near future, but as it stands:

Gamera the Brave
Gamera 2: Advent of Legion
Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys
(The trilogy is pretty interchangeable for me, but GtB is solidly on top.)
.....
Gamera vs. Gyaos

...........

Gamera vs. Barugon
Giant Monster Gamera
Gamera vs. Viras
Gamera vs. Guiron
Gamera vs. Jiger
Gamera vs. Zigra

Sorry, guys; the Showa films rub me the wrong way, and after Gyaos I think they get progressively worse.
I haven't actually seen Super Monster yet, but I don't feel strongly inclined to.

Best to worst

Gamera 2: Advent of Legion
Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris
Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
Gamera vs. Gyaos
Gamera the Brave
Gamera vs. Guiron
Gamera vs. Barugon
Gamera vs. Jiger
Gamera the Giant Monster
Gamera vs. Viras
Gamera vs. Zigra
Gamera the Super Monster

Iris/Guardian and Gyaos/Brave were the hardest to place, as they're basically equal and only edge out one another by slight margins.
