Awsome review man. It's good to have a favorite movie, but "Gamera Revenge Of Iris" is considered one of the best kaiju films since the original "Godzilla."
@darthpetro12 Thanks for the comment. And ya, I was aware of its reputation going in. I do recognize it's a fantastic movie but while I can't quite put my finger on it, I really thought the "Gamera the Brave" was a great love letter and the perfect synthesis of all of the more child-friendly daikaiju movies of yester-year. Also, what can I say? I was a sucker for the mixing of the giant monster movie and (what I like to call) the "troublesome but lovable pet movie". =)
@phantomsdaydreams Anyway, both are great movies though and both rank up there as some of my all-time favorites. I mean no disrespect to the hesei trilogy. If we're talking about favorites as a whole (in the genre, I mean) I'm not sure I can decide."Gojira" is rightfully a classic, but at the same time I do have love for so many other great giant monster films. Perhaps I will have to do a top 10 one day...
@phantomsdaydreams P.S- I also really loved how they managed to make the rural origins of Iris (a setting that has been done countless times before) both relevant and entertaining. *Sigh* I could say so much more about this movie but alas, I seriously doubt anyone but myself and a few others really wants to hear me ramble on and say what has already been said more eloquently before. =)
ADV films DVD are pretty bad ass compared to the crappy Sony editions of like "Godzilla vs. Destroyah". Have u seen the terrible dubbing on those double features? but yeah anyways, haha, gamera 3 is pretty much one of the best monster movies ever made honestly.
@MrJoshy77 I love their treatment of the Gamera films (what with all the extra features, they're probablky some of the most jam-packed of any giant monster video release) but their video transfers aren't the best sometimes and I can never forgive them for releasing such a shoddy version of "Destroy All Monsters". English-only, poor video, and no extras! XD Inexcusable for one of the best Godzilla movies. =D Thanks for the comments btw. much appreciated. I'm glad you like the videos.
I hope they do something like this for the new Godzilla movie make a trilogy that ties in together
