 |  |  |  |  Gamera's back! But not really. But that's really not the point, as Gamera is for the most part a peripheral, albeit exciting and well-executed, element to a family drama. I don't know if I would have taken the same approach, but after the kick-assness of the previous three films (each topping the other in realism and emotional content), maybe it was time to start over. Basically juvenile fare, but if you don't think too hard it's pretty innocuous and definitely entertaining. For something in the same vein done better, if not more over-the-top freewheeling, check out Steven Chow's "CJ7". | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  Not as good as the recent trilogy, but much better than I expected. As a modern update to the 'friend to all children' Gamera movies of the 60s, this is about as good as it could be. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  A giant step backwards, especially after the trilogy. The movie seems to focus on the kid the majority of he time with G almost being a footnote. This movie is more on par with Gamera vs. Guiron. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  It didn't feature as much action as I anticipated, but proved to be very moving at times, which surprised me. One thing that I was impressed by was how it ended very cleanly with out too much lagging. Tears almost fell from my eyes when the last two lines were uttered by Toru at the end of the film "Sayonara......Gamera" I was certainly satisfied, especially after seeing the load of junk that "Ultraman Mebius and the Ultraman Brothers" was! | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
