This monster movie is set in 17th century feudal Japan. A band of bad guys pitch up and start enslaving the peasants but those same peasants pray to the giant statue up in the mountains of the Samurai Majin. Is he going to come down and start stomping on the villains? Oh, I sure hope so! Actually, he does but he takes his time about it, meaning that the first three-quarters of the movie involves the dramas involving the good guys and the bad guys and it does get somewhat tedious. When Majin does arrive, he's pretty impressive though - a super stern giant rock Samurai who starts leathering everyone and everything he comes across. So, the movie takes too long to get there but when it does, its quite memorable.
