Shin Ultraman really is a movie made by fans and for fans, you can really see the passion behind it shines through in the work with the reference & little nods to the classic show here and there while still being its own thing and not being overly relying on them
Shin Ultraman kinda feels like "Rebuild of Evangelion" of The Ultraman franchise, i guess it make sense considering the people who worked on Rebuild of Evangelion (Hideaki Anno & Shinji Higuchi) also worked on this too, so the style and vibe kinda rubbed off into this movie
it faithfully captures the spirit of the Original 66 Ultraman show not just by using classic design, sound effect, & amazingly remade soundtrack (which are composed & arranged by the talented Shiro Sagisu) but also by understanding the core theme massage & philosophy of the classic show while still putting its own spin to it by adding stuffs like social & political commentary in them
but the movie aint perfect i feel like the movie is structured kinda weird, it felt like watching 5 different episodes instead of a 1 cohesive movie and also the CGI while it looks amazing most of the times it can look wonky sometimes i hope they improve that in the sequel but overall its a must watch for a tokusatsu fans..
