I'm not one to mock Showa Gamera films needlessly, but by God, I couldn't stand this film. I had one of those cheap DVD sets you see at Suncoast and everywhere else, with four of the Gamera films in it. Popped that sucker in and watched the original Gamera film (US version of course). That wasn't a great movie, but at least it was entertaining.
Went right into this one and fell asleep. Twice. So I'm totally with Ben on this one. There are also the aforementioned issues with Barugon and the bizarre weakness to water.
In fact, this movie in a way ruined the old Gamera films for me. That happened three years ago and I've never touched my Showa DVDs since! Sad, now that I think about it.
