Gamera movies are fun!

Spinning flame-jetted turtles, space birds being chopped up like bologna, kids in shorts screaming for help...the original Gamera series was a strange mix of wacky fun!! The 90's Gamera films set a standard that other kaiju films are measured against! Discuss Gamera films here!!

Another fun thing about the Showa Gamera Series is, if you get right down to it, I always thought that the first three Gamera films at least were pretty vengeful, dark and brooding, especially for kids' films (yep, before Gamera officially became a hero, the kid characters were pretty angsty, which I totally identified with)! Gamera Vs. Viras (one of my top-favorite Gamera films) set the pace for the more happy & cheerful entries that I'm sure everyone is more familiar with!

But other than that, I agree! The old Gamera movies are still pretty fun!

One of the best things about the Showa Gamera series is that they are just fun. I find it very difficult to take any of them seriously. In fact, GAMERA vs. BARUGON is my least favorite film of the series- primarily because it isn't as light-hearted as the rest (IMHO).
