The kaiju-fighting icon Ultraman has his own American animated Netflix movie called Ultraman: Rising. But instead of taking down monsters, Ken Sato now has to raise a baby kaiju. In this review, as he tries to find the balance between saving Japan and parenthood, his balance on making a Netflix movie could use some work, even with that great animation.

I definitely will admit that just like you, I am really not familiar with Ultraman as a franchise, I am aware of it, and I will admit personally while I did enjoy this movie, I do understand your criticisms towards it, I will agree that the story isn’t the best and some of the characters aren’t the best written, but I will say that the animation is absolutely gorgeous and probably one of the best looking animated films on Netflix recently, and I do think the bonds between the characters are enjoyable and definitely a strong point of the film, and while I will admit I can understand why some people might not like how there isn’t much kaiju fights in the movie I was ok with the family aspect of the movie. Overall while it does have its issues I do still think this is a pretty solid animated film and even as someone who’s not familiar with Ultraman I really enjoyed it.

I’m not familiar when it comes to Ultraman as I never read the manga, shows, or movies before since I didn’t grew up with that franchise. I didn’t even see Lost Ollie either as I have not heard about Shannon Tindle until now. As a newcomer, I find this to be okay. I can see some heart, animation, action scenes, directing, and voice acting that was put well into this movie along with it themes of parenthood, but the bland writing, generic characters, weak humor, and the familiar plot holds it back from calling it good. I still don’t think I will get into Ultraman as a franchise anytime soon, but I think they should improve a bit if they do make a sequel out of it. The only thing I’m surprised the most is a few noticeable actors that I’m familiar with are in this movie were Karate Kid star, Tamlyn Tomita, and Gedde Watanabe from Mulan which I haven’t seen him since that movie and they made best out of it with the materials they were given. So yeah, it’s fine but only diehard Ultraman fans that I know will likely get into with this more than I do. Can’t say anything else really.

I have a friend who is a massive Ultraman fan, so I am curious on their thoughts and if it lives up to their expectations. Got to say the animation is amazing cause it is from Industrial, Light, and Magic (though more surprised since this is a movie made under a Disney Subsidiary released for Netflix), other than that I can understand your criticisms and understand calling out the tropes it does. If you want to watch what Ultraman is, go to Shout TV where you can access some early episodes.
