“Visually arresting and hauntingly beautiful. Daimajin’s vengeance is slow-building, but when the stone god awakens, it’s absolutely mesmerizing. A hidden gem of kaiju cinema.” -
SanityClause – ★★★★☆
“It’s like a samurai film fused with Godzilla, and it works brilliantly. The human drama is surprisingly engaging and the final act is thunderous. Atmospheric and unique.” -

wellesca – ★★★★☆
“The design of Daimajin is unforgettable—mythic, imposing, terrifying. The special effects hold up better than expected and the themes of justice and wrath still resonate.” -
tokyojoe – ★★★★☆
“Slow burn but totally worth it. That ending—majestic, violent, and cathartic. Daimajin is a god you don’t want to anger.”
