Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 30 Average rating: 4.5 "One of the Better Monster movies out there" This movie is a great film. It has incredible effects work for a low-budget foreign film, better than many American blockbusters of the same era (American Godzilla, anyone?). However, that's not to say it doesn't have flaws. The story isn't as conclusive as it should be, considering it's the final act. Although case of a movie like "The Matrix Revolutions", not answering everything the viewer asks keeps it mysterious and interesting, in a series like Gamera it just seems lazy. Even still, the movie's good points outweigh its bad by a long shot. In comparison to the other Gamera Trilogy films, I'd place it slightly below the fun-filled adventure "Gamera: Guardian of the Universe" and higher than the pretty-but-ultimately-pointless "Gamera 2: Attack of Legion". "A Kaiju Masterpiece" This is one hundred percent without a doubt one of the best kaiju films of our time. It has from monsters to excellent drama. In 1999, Gayos are all over the world. In the city of Shubuya, something huge happens. Gamera! The beast takes on Gayos, causing the city to burst into flames. In 1995, Gamera destroyed a young girl's parents. Now she will team up with the ultimate evil, a mutated Gayos. Asagi must now help the girl from fusing with the terrible burden. Get ready for the showdown that will make you jump from your seat! "Simply amazing" What can i say i guess i caned the big lizard for the big turtle, to be very honest this is my first gamera movie, i was very afraid cause i add just finish barely watching Godzilla vs Megaguirus, and tought the movie was well THAT BAD. Since Godzilla is a household name and few people actually know who Gamera is i really tought that i was in for some lame special effects, lame fake cities and the rest of the bad effects from the G movies. Was i in for a surprise when i popped this baby in my dvd. Gamera is amazing, the first monster you see, the prehistoric bird is so well done. Then the rest of the effects where simply amazing, when Gamera attacks the city, it looks like a city. People actually look at both monster fighting from the city and it really look quit amazing. Why doenst G movies look like this, and when gamera shoots fire, or lift off to the sky, wow. This is a must for anyone that is a fan of monster movies, really sad that Godzilla people dont actually learn from Gamera movies. "The Most Powerful Movie EVER!" I loved Gamera 3! First, we get a new foe named Iris, and Gamera gets a new look, but this time, it's really, really serious! The battles were great and the Sound FX were wonderful! A girl named Ayana wants to get revenge on Gamera, because she thinks Gamera was responsible for the death of her family. She finds an egg, and it hatches into an Iris. That's right, IRIS!!! Iris is a monster who tried to conquer earth many years ago, but he was sealed and trapped into a... a... well I forgot. Meanwhile, even though she lost the jewel, Asagi still worries about Gamera, because a powerful foe, more powerful than Legion, is unleashed. This is because of the Gyaos. That's right, Gyaos returns, because Gamera used the ultimate attack called the mana beam to wipe out the Legion. However, the blast sends more Gyaos three years later. Fast-forward to the climax where a full-grown Iris goes face to face with our hero, Gamera: The Absolute Guardian of the Universe (One of the alternate titles)!!! Who will win in this awsome battle?!?! ADV did a great job with this movie. This DVD is, probably, the best kaiju DVD ever! Great dubbing, wonderful extras, and great SPX and pictrue quality, this DVD is a winner. I would've given it 10 stars, but oh well! If you're a kaiju fan, GET THIS MOVIE NOW!!! AWSOME JOB GAMERA!!! AND GREAT JOB ADV FOR GIVING US THE BEST TRILOGY AND THE BEST KAIJU FILMS IN AMERICA!!! *Warning for parents*: This movie contains a lot of blood and gore and intense destruction scenes. This film is rated 12+. All of those stuff could cause children to have nightmares. If a child wants to see this film, you MUST watch it with them. Thank You! "The Best Kaiju Film ever!!" This clearly is the best Kaiju film ever made by any country, it even surpasses the best Godzilla film to some degree. It contains some of the most coolest action scenes ever recorded on film. The acting is really well done and perfectly directed by Shusuke Kaneko. Shinji Higuchi is a master at his craft and should be honored for his contribution to the film. Bravo to the cast and crew of Gamera 3:Revenge of Iris, bravo on a job well done!! Oh...BTW... Shinobu Nakayama is a Babe!! ...but you knew that...
