I've always been torn as to which is my favorite of the Gamera trilogy, 2 or 3. I really loved this one, despite the limited kaiju action. I loved the story, the characters, and the overall darkness of it. The few kaiju scenes in this film are fantastic, and Irys is a stand-out kaiju that blows away any of Godzilla's Heisei foes. While I didn't mind Gamera pulling a power out of his ass to save the day in G2, in this one it didn't feel quite right. Otherwise a great film.

My memory of this is hazy, but on ADV's Gamera 3 DVD, there's footage of a press conference where one of the speakers says something about "Irys" being the Japanese word for demon? Or that it's a homonym spelled in Japanese the way the word for demon is spelled? Someone help me out here.

In addition to my renewed appreciation of the G2 Gamera suit, I've also softened on my distaste for Gamera's arc in part 3. Gamera in Revenge of Iris is the version of him unhinged. The monster that was always there but held back by a sense of humanity. It's a Gamera out of balance and so it makes sense that he's so dark. I still stand by my opinion that Gamera never needs to go that dark again though. G3 is the Dark Knight Returns/ Rises of the Gamera series.
