Kaiju run amok.
Three episodes into one Is Ultraman done?
Do not expect a movie that has tonal similarity with Shin Godzilla. Where as Shin Godzilla remade Godzilla in its original tone (a kaiju horror with political commebtary), Shin Ultraman does the same, retreading a campy superhero from the 60's. The comedy hits pretty well, and the kaiju are well designed, I found the plot and the action to be lacking. What felt like three TV episodes combined into one film, and slow, poorly choreographed fights, I yearned for something a little more modern. The 2016 trailer had a better ultraman design I think. But it was an all around average movie.
