Yep, its a Gamera movie. If you've never watched Gamera he is a giant turtle that can fly by tucking his arms and/or legs into his shell and then jet-propels himself. He also breathes fire and is friend and defender of all children. The monster he fights in this movie has some interesting powers including firing spikes, a "super ultra violet light ray", and injecting baby monsters into Gamera with its tail. These movies were meant for children in mind, which I always thought was kind of odd, because on average they seem to be a little more violent then Godzilla movies. For example this movie, Monster X, or Jiger, fires his spines through Gamera's arms and legs preventing him from withdrawing them into his shell and flying. That was one of the more clever parts of this movie, also when the children drive a submarine into Gamera to find the Jiger's monster baby that is making Gamera sick. If you like rubber monster battles like I do this one has more of that and less talking, so I liked it.
