This turned out to be way better than I was expecting.
89/100 This was my introduction to Ultraman, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I personally think this holds up as a great movie, as well as a good introduction for those unfamiliar with Ultraman, especially with the lack of required beforehand experience. Everyone who's seen the movie's already said it, but I'll say it again: the animation here is amazing. There's so much colour in every shot and each character has so much visual language to them. The Spider-verse animation style fits surprisingly well for Ultraman and I love it. The story here is pretty basic, it's just another "Mr. Mom" type deal, and it's easily my least favourite thing about the movie. However, the characters are so endearing in their dynamics and surprisingly complex that it somewhat saves the movie. The villain in particular is way better than I was expecting, and the father-son dynamic at the heart of the movie…
Całkiem urocze, lecz mocno cierpi na netflixowe autocytowanie oraz na uproszczenia. To pierwsze niepotrzebnie wydłuża metraż, a to drugie uniemożliwiło mi poczucie czegokolwiek głębszego. Ale też zdaję sobie sprawę z tego, iż nie jestem docelowym targetem.
