2.0 out of 5 stars Bad ... "Watchable Bad" though, November 6, 2005

By	Ron Sullivan (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just want to be as clear as humanly possible. This is NOT a good movie by any standards. The actings awful, the script is terrible, the costumes are goofy looking, the score and music are low-rent. The whole film's production value was somewhere around an above-average 'Power Rangers' episode.

Having said all of that, this is a rare instance where the film not only accepts its cheesyness but seems to embrace it. I was actually suprised the production team didn't try and get a PG rating. It would have made a good post-Saturday morning cartoon movie.

If you were looking for a good 'B' movie to entertain yourself with, this fits the bill. Any movie with Jimmy "Dyn-No-Mite" Walker in it is always going to be entertaining on SOME level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its old, I enjoyed it, mainly for the Guyver fans not someone looking for a Hamill Flick, September 11, 2007

By	J. Shaver "Lavi Fan" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 1st review so spelling errors aside keep with it.
Seeing some of the other reviews I thought I'd put in my useless words as well.

I've always been a fan of the Guyver anime, it was the first anime I've ever picked up (Seeing how he sort of had a Spider-man look to him when I was younger, I instantly picked it up) So of course I have to try out the movies no matter, to see if they could've made the Guyver cooler in the big screen than he was in a anime. This was probaly years ago but now when I look back at them. It adds to my collection.

I didn't mind the movie, its old, those old movies tend to be corny as time goes on. I sadly made the mistake of watching Guyver 2 on the SciFi channel years ago before I watched the 1st movie so I held my standards higher back then. I can imagine more and more movies will come along and blow our "Movie of this year" yadda yadda. What I'm trying to say is pretty soon the Matrix or Star Wars will be looked back at and criticized just as much, as this flick.

Overall opinion:
Acting was ... decent they could've chosen a better cast of actors

Special Effects were decent

Costumes were decent (reminded me of a violent power rangers back then so I instantly loved it)

The movie was a attempt to bring Guyver to the big screen, I really wish Guyver 2: Dark Hero was what they did. They could've easily have made that into the first Guyver movie. I still gladly have both in my collection, and watch them time to time. Maybe they'll re-make this one
like they've done with other movies seeing how we can't produce anything original anymore.

The second movie blows this one away, and it didn't require them to grab any big names to fetch them some Mark Hamill fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but Guyver 2 and the anime are better, January 2, 2005

By	Billyman (Gotham City) - See all my reviews

I liked it alot at first cause I'm a fan of the anime, and it was cool to see the Guyver in live action. But this is more like a spoof than an adaptation. Kinda like the 60s Batman show.

Pros: the action is hot. The Guyver does some cool martial arts. Plus his bladed weapons looked cool. And if you're into the comical action this movies for you. Plus there are alot of guest stars from horror fame.

Cons: Too campy. The cover is misleading: When I first saw it I thought Hamill was playing the Guyver, he's actually not. He plays an FBI agent. The acting is pretty bad, except for Hamill who did an OK job.

If you're more of a fan of serious action monster flicks, get Guyver 2.
