Gamera (1965)

A Japanese daikaiju science fiction film directed by Noriaki Yuasa.
After an airplane discharges a nuclear weapon, a giant turtle is awakened by the blast. During an early rampage in search of fire to eat, the giant turtle saves a Japanese boy from falling off a lighthouse. The boy then follows the progress of all the armies of the world to defeat Gamera.
This was not quite as good as the films which feature Gamera as a protagonist because of my fascination with monsters, beasts and creatures in general. The lack of another giant monster to fight effected the film similarly. It was still that same vintage style of cheesy-cool that all giant monster films are. I believe that the band playing the Gamera song was using my favorite guitars, Teiscos. I'm rating this adequate because of these reasons.
