4.0 out of 5 stars This is what got me into Guyver., 30 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Guyver - Dark Hero [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
Guyver: The dark hero is a film based loosly from the manga Guyver bio-booster armor. It follows the story of a boy who finds a mysterious Guyver unit, accidently activating it he is entrusted with the powers of the Guyver. And so the story starts.

Although the film and the anime are not really the same story-wise its still a good thing to watch if your a Guyver fan. Non-guyver fans may find it abit tedious and at times boring.

The main difference is that Sho (or Shaun, in the film) is now a man and not a high school boy. After the first movie, Mutronics, Shaun defeats the evil Zoalord and rescues his girlfriend.He tries to live a normal life. Although with most films like this you know that will never happen.
Drawn by the Guyver to an archeological dig Shaun must uncover the secrets of the Guyver and find his own destiny whilst trying to thwart the plans of Chronos who have suddenly emerged again.

The action is there, the romance, the drama etc. The fights are choreographed well and the Guyver suit looks pretty true to the original manga design (and it looks much better than from the first movie). I agree that the Zoanoids could of had better designs and powers. It is like they are just there for the Guyver to kill. The last fight between the Guyver and the Guyver-zoanoid is one you will want to watch again and again. Especially when they use the blades on their arms to fight.

All in all its a good movie. You will enjoy it more if you have some Guyver history though so be warned if you know nothing about Guyver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aliens weapons, mystery, love, hate its all here...., 25 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This film started it for me. Now I love guyver. If I had to give my honest opinion, I'd say this film was very good, The guyver suit itself maybe rubber but its a VERY good rubber suit. The zoanoids are a let down as they have no real special powers like in the comics or anime. This film has moderate gore, the sfx were billant for saying this was done for a under $1 million budget, the sfx re better than the first. The storyline is good, written by someone who really understands the mind of thre guyvers host. The main gripe I have about this film is that I hunt for uncut and special editions of films, the PAL version of this film has about 15 mins of action taken out of it, yet the american and japense editions has these 15 mins in them. these show the romantic scenes, and seans nightmare of the guyver, also they show how much the guyver calls to him. If you are a comic/anime fan of the series find soeone in the guyver cummity toi sell you th US one, you'll like that more. The PAL version is adiqate as an action movie not for the guyver characteristion tht the US had.... but if your like me you'll have them both!!! IFyou have a DVD player buy the DVD its cheaper andyou get better quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bio booster armour...out of control, 23 Feb 2004
By Simon Maksimovic (pontypridd, mig glamorgan United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guyver - Dark Hero [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
This is truly a cult classic. Set 1 year after the original, named "mutronics - the movie AKA the guyver", the guyver returns to the screen. This time the effects are upgraded, the CGI is enhanced and the action is quicker paced and more frequent. This is a definitive collectors item for fans of the sci-fi action genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun film with almost everything you could want
