Gamera: Guardian of the Universe brings out the greatness of the kaiju genre, both through adventure and thematic weight.

Only a few Japanese giant monster movies earn their stereotyped ridicule. Gamera Super Monster is among those elite.

Prepare your tolerance for low budget giant monster movies before Gamera vs Zigra, but even that might not be enough.

A last gasp of sorts, Gamera vs Jiger brings back city destruction to a story that encapsulates the overarching theme about believing in children.

Eschewing logic, Gamera vs Guiron goes all-in with a Saturday morning-esque adventure in space where kids conquer all.

A final turning point for the original series, Gamera vs Viras aims directly at kids through a hollow, meandering story that might engage the youngest.

A franchise turning point, Gamera vs Gyaos deals in adult topics like gentrification, but it's ultimately a kid-friendly monster mash.

Staging a morality play among giant monsters, Gamera vs Barugon is an inspired, smart war parable about a country in remorse.

Released as Japan became trapped between Cold War superpowers, Gamera considers a world united against a common cause: a giant turtle.

One of the screen's great alien invasion stories, War of the Worlds represents a creative peak and unique religiously-focused allegory.

Admire the spirit of a filmmaker trying to keep Japanese kaiju alive, but God Raiga vs King Ohga is otherwise unwatchable.

The send-off for the franchise's 50th anniversary, Ultraman X: The Movie doesn't have the spectacle needed for such an event.
