I had a little bit of reluctance of sitting down to watch "Gamera 2: Region shurai" (aka "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion") because the first "Gamera" movie wasn't really all that impressive.
But continuing on in my recent kaiju marathon, I eventually ended up with "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion", so I did sit down and watch it.
Good thing that I did, because "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion" turned out to be quite more interesting and entertaining that the predecessor movie was. So I was actually genuinely entertained with what I saw in "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion".
There is an abundance of destruction throughout the course of this 1996 movie, which more than definitely pleased me. I watch these movies for the kaijus and the mayhem they happen to bring with them in their wake. And "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion" definitely delivered on that account.
The kaiju designs in the movie were good, as were the special effects in general. I liked how Gamera looked in the movie, and also the appearance of his enemy - Legion? - because there was a lot of nice details and just a general interesting appearance to them both.
Like all kaiju movies, the kaiju action is "spruced" up with some human drama. To me, the human drama aspects of these movies always sort of take a background position, because it is never as interesting as the wanton destruction of the kaijus and the massive fights between them.
All in all, "Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion" is definitely worth taking the time to sit down and watch. And my rating is a strong six out of ten stars.
