Gamera vs. Guiron A.K.A. Gamera vs. Giant Evil Beast Guiron A.K.A. Attack of the Monsters (1969)

A Japanese science fiction film directed by Noriaki Yuasa.
Two boys wander onto a space ship which takes them to another planet. Gamera, the giant turtle monster follows them. The girls on the planet plan to eat the brains of the boys and have giant monster fights.
Call it cheesy, lame, hokey or any other derogatory terms, but I like this. It's a movie about monster fights (as advertised) and there's nothing wrong with that. The special effects don't look like modern computer graphics, but that gives it style. Speaking of style, it's abundant and you can't mistake this film for something other than what it is. Young male characters are perfect because that is the target audience. I could spout about the glorious simplicity of this film all day or just rate it good. It is exactly what it is supposed to be.
