Ok guys we've reached the end of this run of Gamera talkbacks. I don't plan on doing a talkback for Gamera the Brave as the Gamera the Brave Appreciation thread I already created pretty much does the trick.
It's been fun.
So let's get this party started..
The Basics:
Gamera continues to wage his war against the Gyaos all over the globe. Gone is the kid friendly Gamera, and now we have a battle scarred, grizzled Gamera.
Also, there's a young girl who finds an amulent like the one used to sync up with Gamera in the first two movies...cept this one is evil, and allows her to link up with a super evolved form of Gyaos that she names Iris.
Also, Also... there's some stuff about a weird conspiracy, a villanous computer hacker that make no sense...
Kind of a lot of things going on in this movie...a little too much if you ask me
The Plot:

The Kaiju:
Gamera:
Gamera here is more of a horror icon than a friend to all children. This is easiliest the "scariest" form of Gamera and a fan favorite. I used to love this design, but I'm just kind of meh on it now...I prefer for Gamera to be a tiny bit more kid friendly in appearance.
Hyper Gyaos
Well, I love the Hyper Gyaos design. To this date, I think this is the best depiction of a flying kaiju on film.
Iris
Another win in the design department. Iris is easily the most unique kaiju design since Gigan.
The Acting:
Pretty good. Some of the villains overact...especially the computer hacker guy.
Yukijirō Hotaru remains one of my favorite Japanese actors ever in this film.
The SPFX:
What can I say that hasn't already been said about this....the most advanced FX ever in a kaiju film. Nuff' said.
The Other Stuff:
-Most people consider this one of their favorite kaiju films...me...I prefer GOTU or G2, not to mention Gamera The Brave
I dunno...I'm not really the one to talk about this film. It's been talked about so much that I honestly don't know what to say. It's a great film. See it.
For the die-hards....sound off below on what makes this film so special if you feel inclined to do so
