Good For Those New To The Gamera Movies
2005-12-07
The sequel to Gamera The Invicible is about lies, trickery and greed. During WW2, someone left and "opal", he had discovered, hidden in a cave to be found when he came back. Years later he hires his brother and two other meant to go and get the "opal" They go to the island the older brother left the jewel only to be stopped by the villagers that inhabit the island. They are told that they shouldn't enter the cave because it is cursed and those that do go, they don't come back alive. Convinced that this is a myth used to scare people away from a hidden treasure, they continue anyway. Later in the cave, they find the "opal" and one of the three betrays the other two and leaves them for dead. Little does he know that what he has is not an opal at all, but something much worse... I originally didn't like this movie, but I watched it again and I loved it. This is definitely one of the best Showa Gamera films. This had nothing to do with children saving the day like the later movies would become. No kid in sight through the entire movie. This movie was amazing, some of the best fight scenes I have seen between Gamera and Barugon, and also some of the best fights scenes I have seen on a kaiju movie between the good and bad humans. Barugon's name is a rip off of Toho's Baragon, but the monster itself is original and amazing. This and the first movie Gamera the Invincible is definitely the two movies to watch if you're new to the Showa Gamera world.
Worst Monster Movie Ever!!!

Why does everone like this moive it's the worst monster film ever!This movie is awful and it has no acion,real cheesy spiecal effects,and dumb men beating the crap out of eachother.I feel sorry for my mom who had to pay $4.00 for this crap.Yes I know Barugon does look amazing and Gamera is one my favorite monsters.But the movie is just bad.
Wicked Tongue Action!!!!!!

So Cool. So cool. I got this about a month ago and yesterday I watched for the 7th time! Here's how the story goes - some stupid criminals get an opal, but it is actually an egg of a freeze monster called Baragon. He hatches and wreaks havoc on Kobe, and soon after that Osaka. The military try some bogus plans, like luring Baragon into a lake with a diamond. He stupidly follows and the plan ends with one of the criminals getting eaten - in a very cool close up. Operation reflecton also fails. There are two fight sequences, but both are only 5 minutes long, and Gamara gets only 18 minutes. Still, it is a great monster movie. I would give it four and a half stars. The DVD picture quality is terrible though.
Did You Say the War of the Monsters? Puh-leeze!

Yes two monster do fight twice but the battles have almost know action! Still Gamera battles a insta-freeze monster named Barugon. Gamera is in between good and bad although he is not fully the good guy until GAMERA VS. GAOS. Gamera is now equiped with his famous leg-jets(I think).
WOW!!!!!!! Surprisingly Good

I rented this and was very impressed, as most people know the old Gamera movies are........in one word,horrible, this one isn't though.(NOTE:This is nothing like the chessy and horrible Gamera vs. Zigra, or Gamera vs. Guiron) This is a completly different series. Baraguon is awesome and quite a skilled fighter, this is no were near cheesy or corny to me. For a true Kaiju(giant monster)fan it is a must see.
