Return of Giant Majin
Certified Crap. CrapScore 54, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A brutal warlord threatens peaceful communities until their appeals awaken a giant stone protector. The second Majin film uses patient historical drama to make the eventual supernatural intervention matter. Its period effects and solemn tone suit a quieter kaiju double bill.
