The Guyver Review

Review of The Guyver (1991) by screenqueeen: 👎 2/5

HOOPTOBER 666 DAY 18 10 DAYS REMAIN

What started as a simple idea becomes convoluted by its literary predecessor. GUYVER goes in a very weird direction here, obsessed with its over-the-top childish tones but confused with its Screaming Mad George body horror leanings. Quigley's cameo is fun, as is Jeffrey Combs's welcome presence (seriously, however the movie makes you feel, when Combs pops up the movie just feels so much more fun) but watching Hamill run-and-gun from a prototype-looking Jar-Jar (I mean just LOOK at him) just kind of made me sick to my stomach, and not in the way Screaming Mad George intended.
