 The Guyver December 25, 2008
Ronda Pennycuff (Smiths Grove, Kentucky United States)
I really enjoy this movie everytime I see it. The Guyver is one of my all time favorite movies and I love the special effects. I would recommend this movie and the sequel.
 The worst piece of crud, ever August 4, 2008
Y-Loc (Lalaland)
I can't even give it a single star, but since I have to give it, I give it 1.
This is so far away from the brilliant original comic and animation series that you wonder how these filmmakers got a hold of the rights to mess it up to this end.
I was thoroughly disappointed that the filmmakers decided to monkey around with the monsters and make them into the Stooges - why do they always make things pedantic like that?
 The Guyver: Like Adam West to Batman April 28, 2008
Adam M. Pope
I am a fan of the Guyver anime series and this movie does to The Guyver, what Adam West did to Batman: Makes it look freakin' ridiculous!
That being said it's still a fun B-movie and worth a watch.
The Good:
-The costumes and creatures are very well done.
-The main villain, Balcus, actually resembles the anime character.
-Like the anime, the Guyver dies and is then regenerated.
-The scene where Sean becomes the Guyver is hilarious due to the fact that the street gang is such an 80's stereotype, with lines like "Hey, cool, chilly man, I'm just trying to help you out".
-The movie doesn't take itself seriously, so you don't get too mad that it's not faithful to the original source material.
The Bad:
-The acting is terrible, especially Jack Armstrong & Vivian Wu and then you have Mark Hamill who is so over the top its embarassing.
-The fat german thug Ramsey, who they dress up like a foreign exchange student with a Mr. T obsession and Hitler mustache.
If you are a fan of The Guyver you'll either accept it as camp or burn it in disgust, either way check it out so you can have an opinion.
If you just like cheesy Cinemax-style action movies, this is for you.
If none of the above then you obviously have too much class.
 Is that Luke Skywalker? April 16, 2008
L. J. ASCENSION (Victoria, Australia)
It is and he turns into an alien. Pretty bad movie adaptation from the manga series. but most are. its very dark, not much light, but if you like the series then you may like the movie.
 Would that I could get back those minutes I squandered March 24, 2008

There's cult schlock that I appreciate and then there's just schlock. As soon as I saw JJ Walker appear, I knew the deal was sunk. As the potential enjoyment of the film lay bleeding profusely at my feet, Mark Hamill arrived on scene and kicked it in its head. I gave it 2 stars because it had its moments and Jeffrey Combs was in it. He had a bit part but he just cheers me with his presence.
