Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (Japan, 1996)

A year has passed since the battle between Gamera and the Gyaos, and Japan has struggled to rebuild its cities in the meantime. Suddenly, a series of bizarre incidents reveal a new threat to the land of the rising sun. On a moonlit stroll, science instructor Midori Honami watches as a huge meteor plunges into the mountain snow. The next night, two security guards are horrified as they see large insect-like creatures stealing glass bottles from a nearby warehouse. Soon after, the entire city of Sapporo is covered with strange plants and the link between these events soon becomes clear.

Attack of Legion is the second entry in Gamera's great reboot series, and it delivers spectacular action scenes with amazing miniature sets that gets completely demolished by giant monsters. It's almost like you want to cheer whenever an apartment complex or a skyscraper gets ripped apart because it looks so fantastic when all that concrete explode and crashes into other houses. It's a must-watch for every giant monster fan, and everyone who finds the thought of Tokyo being smashed to bits appealing. A kaiju masterpiece and by far one of the films in the genre.
