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.
