Talk:Gamera: The Brave/@comment-343942-20140303031909

This has become one of my top three films of the Gamera series, topped only by Guardian of the Universe and Gamera vs Barugon. In fact, it might now be one of my favorite daikaiju films period. Why? Well... It's different. The plot is hardly new; it's kind of Gamera meets E.T. with the child protagonist trying to keep his supernatural pet a secret. That being said, however, its still executed rather well, and the fact the creature in question is a kaiju makes it even better. His relationship with Toto is truly heartwarming, and helps to set the film apart from others of the genre.

Now as for Zedus, he's probably one of the coolest monsters I've seen in a while. Granted, there's not much to him, he's basically a giant lizard/dinosaur, but the costume (as well as the other props and effects), is amazingly done.

The only remotely negative things I can point out with this movie is that certain characters and parts of the plot are underdeveloped. Like, what is Zedus, where did he come from? And why does the government have such a keen interest in Toto?

Minor complaints. Overall, while it may not have the camp factor of the original series, or the dark tone of the 90's trilogy, Gamera: The Brave is more than worth a watch.
