The Heisei Gamera trilogy are typically considered as some of the best giant monster movies ever made and for 9 bucks on blu ray, it is a steal. I highly recommend it for any kaiju fans. Gamera 3 has some impressive CGI that holds up pretty well even today and that movie came out back in 1999! Gamera 3 has some great parts to it but I find it to be a pretty overrated movie. There's a lot of things that they leave to speculation, which is what kinda bugged me. I didn't mind some of it, but at times it just felt like sloppy writing to me. Gamera 2, I just couldn't get into but I didn't think it was a bad movie at all. Legion (the main villain of Gamera 2) has a very bizarre and alien design which really works. Not to mention it is a very interesting creature, I would've loved to learn more about it. Then Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is a pretty solid kaiju flick. I don't remember what problems I had with it though other than the eyes for some of the Gyaos puppets looked goofy. Gamera the Brave is a pretty solid film, the main complaint that I and several other fans have with it is that they replaced Gamera's typical roar with some stock footage roars, which is bizarre. The Showa Gamera series is ok, a lot of the movies are hit or miss though.
