Review of Daimajin
- On a mountaintop in Japan rests a giant stone statue. Evildoers beware, for whenevever the oppressed cry to the heavens for salvation and innocent lives are threatened the stone champion of justice will awaken and punish those who do not believe in his power. He is the spirit of vengeance, and the wrath of God given form.

Daimajin returns
When I was growing up in Worcester, MA I used to watch The Creature Double Feature and see the best films including Frankenstein, Dracula, Gamera, Godzilla, and many others. For many years I've been searching for Daimajin, without knowing its name. I always remembered it in black and white.
Seeing the first volume in color, and letterbox is a treat. Yes, it's a standard story of good vs. evil. Yes, the subtitles are not very sophicated. Even so, Daimajin ranks up there with the great monster films. It has its own style and flair.
Score: 4

Much improved video, but audio is a problem
ADV Films's 2005 release of Daimajin vol. 1 offers a sharper image with less print wear and deeper color saturation than their prior DVD edition, a packaged set of all three Daimajin films. This edition also contains the original Japanese opening credits, unlike ADV's prior DVD and VHS releases.
One annoying glitch: the sound is slightly out of synch.
Score: 4
