THE STORY: (contains spoilers): Sean Barker (David Hayter) is your average guy who unwittingly becomes a superhero when alien bio-armor invades his body, turning him into a kind of organic Iron Man. But does he control it ...or does it control him? That was over a year ago, as our story opens, and Sean has involuntarily continued his bad guy blasting ways ever since. He thinks he may have a clue to discovering more about the weapon inside him (and hopefully a way to get rid of it) in a TV news story about a "werewolf" sighting near an archeological dig in rural Utah. Traveling there, Sean immerses himself in the work at the dig site, and is stunned when he learns that his old enemies, Kronos Corporation & their shape-changing soldiers, the Zoanoids, still exist... and are now posed to become an even bigger threat than he ever dared imagine. In addition to Kronos and the Zoanoids, there's a budding romance with a feisty young researcher at the dig, plus unwanted help from a gung ho government agent to keep Sean busy. Things quickly spiral out of control and Sean is forced to call on the fearsome & deadly powers of The Guyver to save his newfound friends. In the end, the very thing Sean hates most may well prove to be his - and Mankind's - only hope. Can Guyver triumph and save the day?
THOUGHTS: I had no idea what to expect when I first saw this as a newly-released flick on VHS tape way back in 1994. I remembered the first GUYVER film and thought it was just awful; bits of interesting action & thrills strangled by a rotten script and the stupid decision to make the whole thing a big joke. Thankfully this sequel avoids that ignorant choice, playing out instead as a straightforward action adventure. Lead star David Hayter is better looking and more intense than the previous actor who played Sean Barker, yet he still projects a disarming, boyish charisma. The occasional jokes here ("I love my job." "You're fired!" etc.) are small asides that break the tension without derailing the primary narrative. The bad guys, while still over-the-top, are nonetheless cunningly cruel & brutally lethal. (This film does not shy away from monster gore!) Biggest downside is that unless you have some familiarity with the Guyver & his universe - either through the previous film or the anime' series - it can be kinda confusing. The movie's stunts are high-energy and show some true flair, especially for a low budget piece. Obviously this was a real labor of love for most of the crew, especially Director / creature costume creator / a little of everything else, Steve Wang. The soundmix is impressive, with lots of cool sound bites used during the fights and to represent the powered-up aspects of The Guyver. Special mention to composer Les Claypool, for a surprisingly energetic, properly heroic score that knows when to play it quiet and when to rev it up when our blue-armored hero is kicking monster butt. Kudos, Mr. Claypool!
THE DVD: The original 2004 DVD release has long been out of print. So, your choices are either buying a used copy of an old DVD or ponying up to get this new no frills M.O.D. release from Warner Bros. Archive. Prior to this the majority of WB-Archive titles I'd bought were nice looking & sounding. Bad news, Guyver fans. That is definitely NOT the case here. While the audio is mostly clean & level (though a little on the soft side), the video portion of this Manufactured-On-Demand release is quite poor. Very soft-looking picture, loaded with dirt & debris. The source material for the transfer would appear to be a heavily-used DVD. I realize this kind of film is sort of a specialty title, still, there's no reason not to spend a little extra cash to strike a decent quality transfer. Hopefully someday a fan-centric company (like Shout!Factory, Kino Lorber or Olive Films) will license GUYVER 2 and take the proper steps necessary to affect a quality transfer in hi-def; (and perhaps even bundle it together with the first Guyver, as a 2-disc double feature Blu-ray). Packing in some decent bonus goodies, in the way of interviews with the cast & crew, would also be more than welcome. Until then, this disappointing barebones DVD re-issue is all we have.
The suits and practical effects are top-notch. Yes, this movie uses man-in-suit monsters like Godzilla and yes it is realistic. Almost makes me wish the guy who did those effects (who also directed the movie) had actually made an American Godzilla film. It probably would've turned out better than both American films combined. Anyways, back to subject. The practical effects are totally off the FREAKING HOOK!!!! They look so real and it is so exciting to watch them do pound and ground, wrestling, martial arts, MMA, and all that kind of fighting in this movie with the titled character. As many have stated before, it plays out like an R-rated version of Power Rangers and if that sounds up your alley, this movie is for you.
Also, the music score is absolutely fantastic. Most people tend not to like it and say it's hammy and stuff, but I personally think it may be one of my favorite film scores ever. I know I've been gushing over this movie, but I can't help it. I thought it was that good. Also the story is interesting in my opinion, but admittedly just interesting enough. All this and more make "Guyver 2" a thousand times better than the first movie (even though I still sort of like that one, too). That may or may not have to do with the fact that this movie more closely follows the manga the two movies were based off of, but I can't be sure. I really wish they could've made more Guyver movies. This series was screaming for more installments in it and so was I.
I also love the way this movie looks and how it was shot. Everything was right about it. Overall, good effects, good fight choreography, great camera work, great lighting, great music, interesting story, great design overall, and good everything else (except acting). It left mt wanting more, but for all the right reasons. It's no "King's Speech", but it''s not suppose to be and I wouldn't want it to be. This here, "Guyver 2" is my kind of flick.
In comparison to the first film, Guyver 2 aka Guyver 2 The Dark Hero, is a better overall film. Guyver 2 pretty much covers the majority of the major plot points of part 1 via exposition between characters. In other words I am saying you don't need to see part 1 to enjoy this sequel.
This has all the makings of a good "Comicbook-to-movie" film that it's over and above any understanding that superhero fans don't check out this film. It has good fight scenes (although some of the dialogue is a bit campy) and the special effects are good considering that it's an indie film. This is a must-see for all sci-fi and superhero fans alike.

Good sci-fi popcorn movie with a unique hero...as the damsel in distress says "every girl wants to be rescued by a night in shining armour...even if he wears it on the inside...".
Get it for the silly action fix but enjoy it when you realize how much other movies and television series have borrowed from the movie story arc!!
Supplier provided regular updates on my order and delivered well in time!
