Craig S. (InnerMacro) from WAUSAU, WI
Reviewed on 8/31/2023...
A treacherous warlord gets his punishment for dishonoring a demon-god in feudal Japan. This movie is about a full hour of set-up before you get to see the giant kaiju samurai crush anything. There's some good camera work at that point, even if the size of the Majin is not always consistently shown (especially when the kid runs between its legs). The movie gets a full star for the ending. Too slow by today's standards, but a must see for the completist fan of Kaiju culture (i.e Godzilla et al).

Much improved video, but audio is a problem

"ADV Films's 2005 release of Daimajin vol. 1 offers a sharper image with less print wear and deeper color saturation than their prior DVD edition, a packaged set of all three Daimajin films. This edition also contains the original Japanese opening credits, unlike ADV's prior DVD and VHS releases.

One annoying glitch: the sound is slightly out of synch."

"When I was growing up in Worcester, MA I used to watch The Creature Double Feature and see the best films including Frankenstein, Dracula, Gamera, Godzilla, and many others. For many years I've been searching for Daimajin, without knowing its name. I always remembered it in black and white.
Seeing the first volume in color, and letterbox is a treat. Yes, it's a standard story of good vs. evil. Yes, the subtitles are not very sophicated. Even so, Daimajin ranks up there with the great monster films. It has its own style and flair."
