Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is a great movie. It is a reboot. It is better then Gamera (1965). Also it is better then Gamera vs Barugon. It is better then Gamera vs Gyaos It also better then Gamera vs Viras. It is also better then Gamera vs Guiron. It is also better then Gamera vs Monster X. It is also better then Gamera vs Zigra. Super Gamera is better. Gamera 2 attack of legion is better. Gamera 3 revenge of Iris is also better. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very scary. 7 is a good ratting. But this is such a good movie that 7 is underrating it. I give it 8. It is a great movie. If you like horror movies you will like this movie.

"Gamera: Guardian of the Universe" is a good example of suitmation at its very best. Sure, even the most willing suspension of disbelief can't mask the fact that Gamera is a person in giant turtle suit but the miniatures are excellent, as is the destruction and pyrotechnic collateral damage that accompanies giant monsters even when they are on our side and this newer spin on the Gamera saga has the big guy squarely on our side (although the army is a bit slow on the uptake). He establishes a mystical connection with a young girl (kind of a 'new-age mutant turtle'), takes a few for the team, and fights Gyaos (ancient, giant, predatory, genetically engineered birds). The movie is much more graphic and grim than the old series: Gyoas just don't fly off trailing smoke when smote by Gamera's radioactive breath, they explode spectacularly; and, there are a number of scenes of young people on a train wearing bright green jackets, shards of which are seen hanging from Gyaos beak after some messy eating. While some of the special effects are substandard (e.g. the missiles in flight), others are extraordinary (e.g. the sunset shots of the Gyaos perched on the wrecked Tokyo Tower). The film makes an attempt at "vérité", making good use of stock military footage and has numerous reporters commenting on the events (including of the impact of monsters on the Dow Jones Industrial Average). As I have opined before in reviews, genre films like this need to be rated both internally and externally – if you are into kaiju movies, this is a solid 9; if not, it's an OK Japanese guy-in-a-suit monster movie, so maybe a 6.

I think that Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is a pretty solid monster film and is also a good reboot to the Gamera franchise.An ancient species of creatures (Gyaos) reappears and starts causing havoc. Gamera also reappears and is responsible for protecting the Earth from the Gyaos.I think the story is pretty good. I like how they change a little about Gameras back story but they also keep his powers the same. The way that they gave Gyaos a new story was well done too.Gamera looks pretty good in this film, definitely the best he has looked on screen so far. He has his classic roar and when he flies and shoots fire balls it looks really good. I am glad that they brought Gyaos back, as he is my favorite of Gamera's foes and also Gyaos is one of my favorite Kaiju. Gyaos looks great and gets to do a lot of action, but I just wonder why they did not use his classic screech he used in the older films? That is one of my main complaints in that they did not use Gyaos's classic roar.I also like how they paid respect to the older Gamera films by doing some scenes that are the same as some scenes in the showa series. WOnt give away what they do but if you are a fan of Gamera you will know.Good film. I recommend it.

If I had to chose one Japanese monster movie, it would be Gamera Guardian of the Universe. The original Gamera films were intended for a child audience. While not a children's film, this is a fun film for all audiences.A young girl forms a psychic Bond with a monster. Other monsters attack. The good monster beats the living hell out of the bad monsters. Pretty simple. What is so good about this film is, of course, the fact that is is so well balanced when it comes to human suspense and monster action. Most Japanese monster films have this tendency to sacrifice one for the other. This one doesn't, and all action sequences are top notch. Gamera fighting Gyaos in a Stadium, or saving some kids on a Bridge, its the type of movie that will have you cheering.This, the first in the Gamera Trilogy, has some minor enviromental undercurrents. This is welcome, because we all know how sometimes films like to get preachy. This enviromental theme is apparent in the entire trilogy, but is always on a subdued level where it does get to you, instead of annoying you.
