3.0 out of 5 stars Piss-Poor Bootleg, October 28, 2005

By 

Ryan Clark (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gamera - The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

Three classic Gamera films collected on one disc in poor quality. Spend your money on the excellent Shout Factory releases instead!

4.0 out of 5 stars The original series!, September 8, 2005

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Gamera - The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

I give this collection four stars
because of the great price - if you're
not a hardcore kaiju collector - or
even if you are - you're not gonna beat
the great price. The movies themselves
are classic "B" status and earn about
three stars each. The movies are presented
in full screen with English dubbing.
As for the movies, they include Gamera's
1st, 2nd and 4th movies (but are placed
on the disc out of order for some reason.)
Anyway, the movies are all intertaining;
my personal favorite being War of the
Monsters, Gamera's second movie.
The box also contains some nice interior
notes about the films (a consideration many
collections such as this omit) and a great
black & white fold out of the big Turtle
himself. I was delighted with this
purchase - recommended!

P.S - For any Speed Racer fans out there,
you might be interested in knowing that several old
Gamera and Godzilla flicks had English voices from
members of Speed's show. You can sit and say to
yourself "hey, thats Trixie's voice or that's Speed!"
I always prefere original scores and sound tracks, but
at least the English is made more fun to listen too:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Gammera, Barugon and Viras, July 2, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gamera - The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

GAMMERA THE INVINCIBLE(1965-Rated G)
Soviets and Americans clash bringing down a bomber on ice which explodes and awakens a giant turtle called Gammera who rampages Tokyo.
WAR OF THE MONSTERS(1966)
A giant lizard called Barugon attacks Tokyo but luckily Gammera returns to Earth and battles the overgrown reptile.
DESTROY ALL PLANETS(1968)
Now Gammera is changed to Gamera. Anyway, aliens attack Earth but are counterattacked by Gamera which forces them to release a giant squid which attempts to kill the reptilian hero.
Afterward:GAMMERA THE INVINCIBLE and WAR OF THE MONSTERS deserve 4 stars and are good and exiting movies. DESTROY ALL PLANETS is just as exiting but overuses stock footage and is to campy and gets only 3 stars.
