6/10
A solid start for Gamera.

Warning: Spoilers
Gamera (1965) its the first movie in the Gamera series of films and its probably the most grounded in reality, for a Gamera film. The film was made, like many other Kaiju movies, to cash in for the success of Gojira (1954), while the two series have many similarities, Gamera follows a very different path.

This its the first entry in the series and its a very decent monster movie, better than it needs to be, with some creative ideas, some decent acting (for the most part), good effects and some nice directing, it manages to grab your attention.

The film has some flaws, like many other monster movies, like bad acting, some very weird ideas that don't really fit the film, like Gameras flying ability, but it manages to stay interesting, even if it is the typical monster movie.

Overall, this its a very decent entry in the Gamera series and a good way to get introduced to the series, but its still too typical.
