Fun but uneven period fantasy

A real mix of styles. Part imitation magic kung fu epic, part Ultraman episode, part samurai drama. The budget is good and there are a number of excellent parts but the whole affair is very uneven and paced poorly. The fight scenes go from pretty good to oddly slow. The hydra is a great Ghidrah-like monster but the final fight takes place on the moon with the hero turning into a giant robot!

Good for a light viewing but there are a few moments when the film has some gory stabbings that are not recommended for young children. The film makers could have left these out.

Surprise Hit

This movie starts out with a great plot and lots of action, it has good special effects, character development isn't all that good. But you still seem to get a bit of "presence" toward each character. This movie would have been one of the best movies I have ever seen, that is if it didn't fall into a "slump". This "slump" beginning after the return from their quest, the movie takes a unseen turn into space, and starts going downhill from there. But still a great movie.

Great movie - a MUST for TOHO & King Ghidorah fans !

It's more than just the 8-headed dragon! This is a GREAT movie, not just a "monster movie"! It has great action with (laser)swords and walking and fighting in the air and against walls! There's also a lot of magic present in this movie and there is more than only the 8-headed dragon! (I would call this movie: Magic,Monsters and Orochi-the 8-headed Dragon). A nice reference to the (new)Gamera movies is the amulet of the prince, it's the same as the girl who can talk to Gamera. In conclusion: good story, great action/monsters and magic, good colours, good acting.

A good fantasy/adventure movie.

Orochi, the Eight Headed Dragon drags a bit for the first half-hour, but it gets more action-focused around the halfway mark and becomes a good deal more entertaining. After that, it drags a little again, and then picks up immensely for its gonzo ending. It's not always the most smooth-sailing of films, but it's worth sticking with to see all the spectacle and wildness on offer near the end.

Much of Orochi, the Eight Headed Dragon feels like a classic fantasy/adventure movie, and then the final 20-ish minutes takes on the feel of a kaiju movie with a more fantastical slant than science fiction. It doesn't combine such things in a way that feels anywhere close to seamless, but during its better moments, it's hard to care too much.

The most underrated movie I know of

This is one of the best sword & sorcery movies I've ever seen, with an unusually high production value for a movie so little discussed and an extremely satisfying ending that is something you'd only see from Japan. Keeps up a very good pacing with a lot of variety in the action scenes, it feels like a lot of inspiration and care went into the making of this movie. Anyone who is into fantasy, sword & sorcery, or Japanese films should absolutely watch this.

A very great movie and easily the biggest disparity I know of between quality and popularity. I have no idea why it's unknown or has a low score here, it doesn't make a scrap of sense to me.

Trivia
Planned as a trilogy, box office results lead to the sequels being canceled. The second film would have featured Yamato going up against Bagan and the third would have featured an ancient monster that Godzilla was named after that was only mentioned in the original [link=Godzilla (1954). Bagan was a monster Toho had created in early drafts of El retorno de Godzilla 1986 (1984) but was scrapped in favor of making that film more like the original Godzilla (1954) and a film called Mothra vs. Bagan had been planned but disappointing box office returns for Godzilla 2 (1989) forced them to cancel the project in favor of Gojira vs. Kingu Gidorâ (1991).
