So we kicked off the 15th edition of Tween-Fest with Sandy’s choice of Daimajin, the first of three films built around a giant god statue who eventually comes to life to punish evil warlords. I haven’t watched one of these in a while, and was pleased at how good of a general production it was; costuming, sets, direction, acting, etc., all quite good. The film stands up just as a samurai drama, and then is capped by a fantastic kaiju rampage as Daimajin rather belatedly shows up to (often literally) put the boot to evildoers. Fun, fun stuff, and a really good start to the day.
