The Guyver Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

AlienatorX I love tokusatsu, in any shape size or form. So I was excited about this film when I first heard of it, an American tokusatsu based on an anime I had never heard of with a really cool premise, a human discovers an alien device which turns into a suit of living armour (I love living suit superheroes). But there is one distinct problem with this concept, translation. This was during the 90s and people weren't sure how seriously to take anime yet, a problem which translates into this film which has no idea what kind of tone it's going for. Firstly the positives; the fight choreography in this movie is nothing short of fantastic combining martial arts and wirework with really cool powers, the look of the Guyver and the Zoanoids is really really well done, the music is intense and energetic and the acting ranges from over the top and goofy to good, Mark Hamill is in this film as a cop trying to solve the mystery and he is great as always. But the film is completely ruined by it's tone, there are two movies going on here, a goofy over the top fun film and a serious gritty film, the two mesh HORRIBLY and so the film ends up being no fun at all, Give it a miss.

Jerghal This film is made by a guy named 'Screaming Mad George'. Both which are true I'm guessing: you have to be mad to make such a crappy movie and maybe when he saw what he made he screamed his head off (and so would the execs who green-lit the movie I would imagine). What a quality actor like Mark Hamill is doing in this movie is also a complete mystery. Not a great movie reference to put on your CV as an actor... Most people who reviewed this movie here are fans of the cartoon and are a bit biased. I'm not a fan, but I do love scifi, and this is one of the lamest scifi movies I've ever seen. It's a big fat cliché. Acting is bad, story is one you've seen a 1000 times before, FX are cheesy, budget was low. Maybe amusing to kids (minus 10 years), not for everyone else who values their time.

kev_jin Why are people taking this film so seriously. It's bad but it was never meant to win Oscar's. I love bad movies that don't take themselves to seriously and this is one of those films. It's tongue in cheek, it's comedy. I watched this movie when I was a kid and loved it. That love will always be there even though I can look back at it now and laugh.So to all those slagging this film off- get a life. Go rent Schindler's List or something....10 lines of text!? What's that all about? I've said what I wanted to say... errrm... Did anyone watch American Psycho the other day? Does saying goodbye count as a line of text?

macrossman If you think this film was intended to be in the vain of its animated counterpart then you are clearly wrong as it's true formula can only be found in the filming conventions of most Japanese B movies, for example bad campy acting, simple narrative, bit of kung fu, bit of gore, bit of comedy, lots of dark lighting, rubber costumes coupled with funky man to mutant transformations. One might question the integrity of the acting or dialog but the fact is the cast were directed to cheese it up so as to fit into its genre and eastern heritage. The fighting scenes are a bit over the top but this is what Japanese B cult is all about. Dyn-o-mite!!!
