Gamera Rebirth

Gamera rebirth

I loved kaiju flicks growing up. Those and martial arts movies were the only fare where I could see Asian role models, which explains a lot about me developmentally.

But I disdained Gamera. Gamera was my least favorite kaiju. I watched most all the Gamera films, hoping they might get better, but I always found myself rooting for the kaiju villains. I also hated the annoying kid that was always the protagonists.

This ‘rebirth’ has 3 annoying kids. A swarm of dragon-like creatures emerge from a deep mine and wreck havoc on Shinjuku. The kids are caught in the middle with a gang of bullies. Gamera shows up. Battles ensue. 

I did like the kaiju scenes. They even gave Gamera a plodding walk like a guy in a rubber suit. I hated the kids. I hoped they’d get eaten. I may watch another ep but it’ll probably be a fast forward to the fight scenes viewing. 6 45 min eps. Too much.

Not D00M recommended.

I see Gamora and I think Gamera...you never see them in the same movie...coincidence?

Ariana Greenblatt plays Gamora. 

Takateru Manabe and Jun Suzuki played the original Gamera.

I should think that would be clear enough, much simpler than the Cena/Cera confusion.

I just realized that this new anime Gamera doesn't spin when it flies. It flies like a jet plane. That ruins everything.

It has to spin... Just like Godzilla has to hold his tail between his arms while blowing fire at the ground to fly...

Right? I’m so done with the Rebirth crap. Netflix blew it.
