Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Sean Lamberger Among the worst rubber-suit monster movies I've ever seen, this abomination from the early '90s can't decide if it wants to be a corny kids' special or a gross late-night horror picture. Straddling both in lieu of a decision, it lifts a gratingly naive cast and absurdly simple dialog from the former, then the nasty creature effects and wanton violence from the latter. I'd be remiss not to mention the awesomely overblown slash cuts and stock synth sound effects that accompany every change in scenery. Basically this is action porn, with a sketchy storyline and intensely awful acting only present as a means of transport from one slugfest to the next. Problem is, between the imagination-free choreography and the awkward, unwieldy makeup, the fights are just as bad as everything else. Mark Hammill, in one of his darkest days as a professional, dons a ridiculous mustache and over-sized leather jacket in a vain attempt to fit the part of a tough, grizzled detective. Like everything else thrown on the screen in this unmitigated disaster, it doesn't work.

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!!!

yjbrown I'm sorry, but this movie is a really poor representation of the classic anime series. It is mildly entertaining, but in that way that you don't want to look, but perverted fascination makes you watch anyway.Acting is slapstick, and over done. Imagine a cross between power rangers teenage mutant ninja turtles. Rubber costumes and overacting pull what could have been a decent movie into the "I don't want to see that again ever" pit.I was expecting something a little more serious than this as the original animated series is pretty hardcore anime.I'd say, watch it once though, just for a laugh, then go borrow the Anime Series and really get the Guyver experience.

dominion76251 I was very excited to find this movie at the video store, being a huge fan of anime. Unfortunately, this one let me down BIG TIME. The storyline was as gay as could be and the villainous creatures just looked stupid. They tried to make the film far too slapstick, or comedic in nature. It played out like some Saturday morning kid-safe garbage. I'm not sure WHAT the he** happened to Mark Hammil, but his acting was pathetic. And Jimmy Walker as a shape-changing villain?!? Don't waste your time. If you like anime, you would be far better off watching "Fist Of The North Star" for a live action adaptation of classic anime.
