Gamera 2: Attack of Legion 1996

Don't look now Godzilla, but Gamera is out kaiju-ing you. Hot on the heels of the rebirth of Gamera in 1995's "Guardian of the Universe", it's the second in the trilogy of what are a bunch of very good giant monster movies. "Attack of the Legion" touts some much improved and nearly impressive special effects with a truly formidable baddy in Legion.

Please remember that these are silly, corny movies overall. But they also tout some really great monster battles, cool imagery and a few moves that would play nicely in a wrestling ring. Gamera himself lacks the cool of Godzilla but his '90s movies are actually better than Godzilla's '90s output.

This is only my opinion. I'm possibly wrong but this is how I feel about Gamera.

Peak Gamera. He's still a protector of children but it seems they take him serious in this trilogy. I love love love miniatures in movies and they only used cg to enhance a scene. I love this. Team Gamera all the way. He looks so frickin cool here too. I got really sad when he got covered in them bugs.

And I'm sorry but I know a lot of people are talking about bringing Gamera into the monsterverse but it can't get better than this. This is the perfect amalgamation of old and new school. Yes, it'll look better. But you won't get this emotional connection through a full cg Gamera.

higher budget calls for higher quality, lots of big explosions, special fx practical w/ very decent CG for 1996
