Sean/Guyver's battle against the reptilian creatures known as "Zoanoids" continues when an archaeological dig uncovers the ancient alien vessel which originally carried the Zoanoids to Earth. As in the previous installment, both government agents and the minions of the Chronos Corporation continue their secret dalliances with the Zoanoids' biomechanical technology, with both sides planning to abscond with any alien artifacts recovered from the site. Eventually the dig's security chief, Crane (Bruno Giannetta), is revealed as a Chronos plant and takes the other team members hostage, surrounding them with Zoanoid soldiers. Sean summons up his powers to combat Crane, who then reveals his wild card -- a second Guyver module found aboard the ship, which transforms Crane into a powerful and malevolent super-Guyver. With somewhat higher production values than its predecessor, this entire film still plays like an extended episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (which in turn owes a debt to Ultraman), flavored with many familiar ingredients from such Hong Kong action-fantasy epics as A Chinese Ghost Story. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

    This was better than the first flick with a step up in the effects department. The action was also better and I liked the story. It's pretty simple though and I think you need to be a fan to really enjoy these movies.

    Superior sequel

    Excellent non-stop action of the Japanese comic book superhero character than the first one. It entertains amazing battle choreography, visual effects, and great monster makeup.

    They should have stopped at the first one...This second movie was beyond stupid. To even call it a bad "B" movie is giving it way too much credit. Ugh!!!

    It may be a B-movie, but it's one of my favorite action movies ever, staying more faithful to its roots. And hey, the star is the guy who voices Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid videogames.

    This Guyver is much more like the manga.Its dark,brooding,and action packed.the acting and monster make-up is much better in this movie.
