Belated Movie Reviews

Save us from these roles! Or give us cinnamon rolls!

Gamera: Super Monster (1980) is a really terrible collage of material from previous entries in the franchise, into which has been added a clumsy plot involving good and evil space women, and a little boy in whose dreams Gamera appears and fights monsters brought by the evil space woman and her commander. For reasons known only to them, they want to destroy Earth, and apparently use a star cruiser rented from the Star Wars franchise to get around.

Incidentally, judging from Gamera’s eyeballs, the great friend to children is off the booze – they’re not bloodshot! I have to wonder if he’s a member of AA or just has tremendous will power.

In any case, if you need to see this for your film class, make sure your platform can fast forward through the bits from other films. It cut my view time by nearly half.

And probably saved my sanity.
