In 1966, Daiei (of Gamera fame) Motion Picture Studios released one of the most incredible monster/fantasy films of all time. Daimajin was a hit in Japan, but never caught on to Western audiences like the earlier Godzilla films that Toho produced. Regardless of that, it is a great movie and a must for fans of Kaiju films.

"Daimajin" was an excellent beginning to an absolutely phenomenal series of films. It's plot follows the original legend of the Daimajin much more closely than any the other films of the series. The special effects are nearly flawless and the story is good to. The Daimajin films are unlike other Kaiju films in that they don't have as much monster action. But the action that you do get kicks some bad guy warlord ass. This film is no exception in that respect. Watch it, and watch it again.
