It's a kid's movie about a giant flying turtle. You can't expect depth, here. But it's great as a 'bad movie', actually succeeding far better at being a laughable 'bad movie' than almost anything else I've ever seen. Watching it as a 'bad movie' is probably the only way to enjoy it.
The scenes without Gamera are certainly less interesting. The policeman is annoying. Child acting is almost always atrocious. The plot is ridiculous. The special effects are oddly psychedelic. Was there a soundtrack? I don't know. But wow. Just wow. It's great stupid fun.
It's also the best Gamera movie out there. the others are somehow far more 'childish', even though they feature more adults. In the lexicon of rubber-monster-suit movies, it'd be hard to top this one. Definitely recommended.
