    5 out of 5 stars thak you.......2007-05-12

    think u for taking the time in sending this item it arrived in excellent condition n i hope doin further business

    2 out of 5 stars Too goofy to be taken seriously. Too violent to be a kid's movie........2006-09-16

    The Gyver was originally a successful Japanese cartoon series that more than a few anime fans in the U.S. got a taste of back in the 80's. It was visually stunning and was one of those shows that helped jump start the freaky looking anime that's became more prevalent as time went by. Apparently someone got the bright idea of making a live action version back in the 90's. Only there were two problems: One the special effects of the time (as well as the apparent budget of the film) wouldn't have measured up to the original content. Second the script was God-awful and completely screwed up everything cool about the original. In the end not even semi-big name talent like Mark Hamill could save this train wreck of a film.

    The Gyver, like the original, relies heavily on the visual impact you're supposed to get when seeing hideous and out-of-this-world monsters with powers and strength many times greater than our own. In the cartoon it happened. In the movie not only did it not accomplish this but also apparently it never would have. Instead of nightmare creatures you have guys in foam rubber suits with little or no articulation whatsoever. Movies made in the early 80's had people in monster suits that looked better and responded more realistically than these sad excuses. About the only one that actually looked pretty cool was the Gyver itself, but that was because it's more a suit of armor than a monster (no mouth or facial features to articulate). Not only were the monsters fake looking but just about every other special effect from the gory to the sci-fi types looked fake. Stan Winston must be shaking his head in disbelief on how bad they did this.

    The story is about as fake as the monsters and special effects. While the premise itself isn't all that bad the execution stinks to high heaven. The way the script is written with a kid's show mentality with lots of comedy relief and stupid dialog between creatures. The villains are as cartoonish as the script. I mean how seriously is a movie supposed to be taken when you have a monster voiced by Good Times' own Jimmy Walker (Dynomite!!!)? For those of you who never seen the cartoon it's essentially about the Gyver fighting monsters hand to hand. They do that here, but the fight scenes are immensely weak. You would think they could at least get that part right (don't bother telling me to blame the suits... they did it with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles years before). The acting is actually serviceable from many of the actors. Mark Hamill does help put at least a little respectability to the movie, but not nearly enough. The music is as cheesy as the costumes and script, so I guess it actually fits with this film.

    They should have just made this some sort of kids movie instead of trying to make it for mature audiences like they did, because there is no way a self-respecting adult can find any merit to watch this. If they toned down the violence and adult content it could have actually been a decent kiddy flick. As it stands The Gyver is a joke in the poorest order. If you are a fan of the cartoon series I recommend you stay away at all costs as this movie is a travesty to the show where it came from. As a matter of fact the rest of you avoid this too. The only people I can recommend this to are those of you who actually likes watching cheesy movies to make fun of the cheesiness. Because that's just about all you get in this dismally bad idea.

    2 out of 5 stars Bad ... "Watchable Bad" though.......2005-11-07

    I just want to be as clear as humanly possible. This is NOT a good movie by any standards. The actings awful, the script is terrible, the costumes are goofy looking, the score and music are low-rent. The whole film's production value was somewhere around an above-average 'Power Rangers' episode.

    Having said all of that, this is a rare instance where the film not only accepts its cheesyness but seems to embrace it. I was actually suprised the production team didn't try and get a PG rating. It would have made a good post-Saturday morning cartoon movie.

    If you were looking for a good 'B' movie to entertain yourself with, this fits the bill. Any movie with Jimmy "Dyn-No-Mite" Walker in it is always going to be entertaining on SOME level.

    3 out of 5 stars Unable to Watch.......2005-10-12

    Unable to watch it since my DVD player and DVD-Burner tell me to check the region of each player

    4 out of 5 stars Essential for all Guyver fans.......2005-08-18

    This film is not as good as the second one, but it is still a pretty decent one, for a film that uses rubber costumes. Worth watching for the action sequences.

        Lives are lost, powers fade and love endures in the heat of battle. Narrowly escaping his last Hyper-Zoanoid encounter, Sho is forced to retreat, leaving his father in Chronos' clutches. Determined to rescue him at all costs, he once again dives into the heart of Relic's Point, braving its Zoanoid defenses. However, he soon finds himself neck-deep in another one of Chronos' traps, as his helpless friends are targeted by a team of Hyper Zoanoids. With Sho escaping with his father and Makishima holding off a gang of adversaries, it's up to Murakami to protect Sho's friends. Fortunately, the mysterious journalist has a few tricks up his sleeve, including the ability to manipulate Zoanoids through mind-control and transform into a creature the likes of which no one has ever seen. But why does he know so much about Chronos, and what is his connection to Guyot? Before any questions can be answered, things go from bad to worse for Sho, as a tragic encounter results not only in the death of someone dear to him, but the loss of his ability to transform into the Guyver. Left defenseless, he is faced with a fearsome strike from both Commander Guyot and the vengeance-seeking Lost Number, Aptom. With his friends defeated, his powers lost and his hope dwindling, he must face his inner demons to rise again from the ashes of defeat.

              Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (2005) is the fifth adaptation of Yoshiki Takaya's long-running manga: the animated feature, Guyver: Out of Control came out in 1986, followed in 1989 by a 12-part OVA; Mark Hamill appeared in two live-action movies in 1992 and 1994. While hanging out together, high school sophomore Sho Fukamachi and his friend Tetsuro Segawa find a lost component from a sinister biomedical experiment. Sho inadvertently turns it on, and is seized by an octopus-like creature that gives him the ability to control the super-mecha suit, the Guyver. Without understanding how he's doing it, Sho finds himself battling monstrous "Zoanoids"--and being drawn into a sinister plot to create human bioweapons. A flashy combination of traditional and CG animation, Guyver offers all the elements of a classic mecha adventure. The extras include interesting juxtapositions of animated scenes and Takaya's original manga panels. (Rated TV MA V, suitable for ages 14 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

                  Three high school students find themselves drawn into a plot to turn humans into metamorphic monsters or "Zoanoids" in this 1989 OAV, based on Yoshiki Takaya's manga. Sho Fukamachi finds a lost "control metal" that transforms him into the super-warrior Guyver via a mecha suit derived from alien DNA. With his friends Tetsuro and Mizuki and the mysterious Guyver III, Sho fights an increasingly nasty series of Zoanoids created by the Chronos corporation: hands get ripped off, holes are blown and punched through bodies, and blood sprays everywhere. The character designs recall Ronin Warriors (1989), and the plot of a sinister corporation trying to take over the world through illegal bio-technical experiments has become a standard in the intervening years. Two live-action films were also based on Guyver. (Rated 13 and older but more appropriate for 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon

                    New villains, new monsters, and new allies appear in the second half of this 1989 OAV. As the Japanese branch of the Chronos corporation has been decimated, the powerful Dr. Balcus takes over. Agito infiltrates Chronos--while plotting to destroy the organization. Sho, Tetsuro, and Mizuki are rescued by Masaki, a freelance writer who is really a "Zoalord." No one explains just what a Zoalord is, but the powerful Masaki fills in the back story: humans are actually the product of biological weapons experiments by the alien Creators. The series ends on an inconclusive cliffhanger that implies a sequel, although none was ever made. The filmmakers were clearly running short of money, as the later episodes involve lots of still artwork and recycled animation. The last episode is presented only in English. (Rated 13 and older but more appropriate for 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, profanity, nudity) --Charles Solomon
