AlienatorX I love tokusatsu, in any shape size or form. So I was excited about this film when I first heard of it, an American tokusatsu based on an anime I had never heard of with a really cool premise, a human discovers an alien device which turns into a suit of living armour (I love living suit superheroes). But there is one distinct problem with this concept, translation. This was during the 90s and people weren't sure how seriously to take anime yet, a problem which translates into this film which has no idea what kind of tone it's going for. Firstly the positives; the fight choreography in this movie is nothing short of fantastic combining martial arts and wirework with really cool powers, the look of the Guyver and the Zoanoids is really really well done, the music is intense and energetic and the acting ranges from over the top and goofy to good, Mark Hamill is in this film as a cop trying to solve the mystery and he is great as always. But the film is completely ruined by it's tone, there are two movies going on here, a goofy over the top fun film and a serious gritty film, the two mesh HORRIBLY and so the film ends up being no fun at all, Give it a miss.

May_lo From childhood memory I recalled this movie being great fun and really cool.So the lesson I learnt from rewatching this film recently is that some kid memories should stay as memories. this really isn't very good at all.This is a shame as the cast features some genre greats such as Mark Hamill, Michale Berrman and Jeffrey Combs. The film doesn't seem to know if it wants to be a shlocky horror movie, comic book film or children's adventure. One minute it feels like Shaq's Steel film or Starkid the next it feels like Toxic Crusader. The tone is everywhere and for that reason left this old kid disappointed..

lordzedd-3 I've seen the old Guyver cartoon and some of the newer Guyver cartoon and I got to admit that I am impressed with this American adaptation of the material. The creature effects and designs are perfect, the Guyver design is perfect. It's an almost perfect movie. Now it does get a tad goofy at points, but not too bad. Plus, if you ask me and you haven't. But I think they over hyped Mark Hamill's part in this movie. He does a great job, but the original video box and I think the movie poster leaves the impression that he's the Guyver and he's not. So long story short, this is a great adaptation of the comic book and the cartoon show. If you are a fan of the comic or cartoon show, then watch this movie. If not, then I wouldn't. 9 STARS.

Hariel441 I give this movie so low a rating because of the terrible waste they made. I have seen the animated series and read a lot of the manga this was adapted from, and they dropped the ball so hard it bounced back in their faces.The Guyver is actually one of my favorite superheroes, and has awesome powers that were never touched on in this movie, which was made out to be more of a comedy than sci-fi/action. The acting was below par, and even the appearance of Mark Hamill (who is NOT in fact the guyver as portrayed on the cover) couldn't save this movie from the lunatic director who made the barest nod to the original story or setting.The costumes were good, and even some of the fighting was passable, but that's where the praise for this movie ends. See Guyver 2: Dark Hero for a much better representation of this unique and fascinating hero.
