User blog:SuperNerd295/The Gamera franchise:what I think.

So, everybody here knows of the Gamera franchise. Today, fellow wiki contributors I'm going to tell you what I think!

The Showa-Era
The first film was good the second film was, yet again great and the third film was okay, but after that... well... things went down hill. Gamera became a kaiju franchise for kids. That may sound all-right to some of you but, lets just say there was ALOT OF DEATH AND BLOOD....There is very violent scenes such as Guiron chopping up Space Gyoas, Jiger laying an egg in Gamera's lung, and then kids go into gamera and kill it, leaving it in their (GREAT JOB KIDS!!!) and then there is the Space Cougars, who, eat young boys... considering that most of the Gamera franchise's fans, where of course male kids... Eh it still creeps me out today. Then, their is the abomination known only as, Gamera: Super Monster. It is somehow WORSE THEN GODZILLA'S REVENGE. Made up of crap-tons of stock footage (EVEN MORE THEN THAT OTHER ABOMINATION...) Gamera: Super Monster was not the best movie (IT'S THE WORST ONE TO COME OUT OF A PRETTY GOOD FRANCHISE UP TILL THAT POINT...). Very little good can be said of most of the Showa Series. First three movies are works of art, the others are okay, and then there's that abomination.

The Heisei-Era
These are THE BEST MOVIES TO COME OUT OF THE FRANCHISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The movies are no longer aimed in the direction of kids, but now, look like Godzilla movies! (HELL YEAH!!!!!). 3 out of the 4 are some of THE BEST kaiju movies I've ever seen, while Gamera: the brave brings back the silly style from the past, I would not miss a chance to get it. Like the rest of the Heisei series it's no longer made for kids (which it shouldn't have been in the first place...) it shows the enemy monster eating people and there is abit of blood. Other then that, If you ran out of Godzilla movies to watch, look no further then Gamera's heisei series!

Final Thoughts...
Overall if you could get your hands on most of these movies, do. That being said I really like the Gamera franchise as a whole, and I say that any kaiju fan should at least get the first movie and then it's your choice to see if you want the other ones. I have the legacy collection and i don't see much wrong with it, but i do think you should buy the movies one at a time. I have the disc for Gamera the brave up on my movie shelf and it's not bad. Anyway I'm SuperNerd295 and I'm signing out.
