IMDB

Daimajin is a samurai movie with some sci-fi elements (a giant moster). The story begins and Samanosuke overthows the lord and enslaves the village. Kogenta and the priestess manage to save the lord's kids.
They head up to Daimajin Mountain where they pray for protection. Daimajin is a demonic warrior that is captured inside of a statue. We go ahead 10 years.
Kogenta sees the villagers enslaved, so he quickly gets himself captured. The ex-lord's son goes to save Kogenta, but also gets captured. The priestess goes to Samanosuke to free them, but she ends up dying, but puts a curse on Samanosuke first.
Soon Daimajin is walking around destroying everything.
Pretty good movie. It takes about an hour before Daimajin is up walking around destroying shit, but it's a pretty good movie before. Pretty much non-stop action from start to finish.

7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
