"Gamera 3" is a great flick, though personally I enjoyed "Gamera: Guaridan of the Universe" much, much more. "GOTU" had a lovely balance of monster action, human drama, and special effects that really showed off the amount of hard work these guys put in on such a small budget (around $4 million or so if I'm not mistake, against Hollywood flicks of $100-150 million).
"Gamera 3" is still a great film though, it had some lovely special effects sequences, and an interesting if somewhat overdeveloped story. I just find it a shame they didn't play out the finale as Kaneko wanted to, as that would have put the icing on the cake.
Personally, I'd rate my Kaneko flicks as...
1. GOTU
2. GMK
3. G3
4. G2
