ULTRAMAN: RISING - Initial Thoughts | TitanGoji Reviews

DAVIS IT IS 1 IN THE MORNING WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME

but awesome you got to see this

I be real I had no hopes for it happy to know it might be decent

Is animation now cinema?

Hey what's up it's been a long time I can't wait for Ultraman why is it a bit of a big fan of the ultimate series in long time I was wondering do you think about doing a review of my adventures with Superman it's a fantastic series and I love the anime feel they gave to superman

Idk this getting so much hype when the netflix Ultraman anime is so much better and I didn't see any hype for that.

God, so much kaiju media on Netflix... Ugh I'm so tempted to rebuy a Netflix subscription!

I've been hearing good things about this, so i'm pretty hyped for it. My gf thinks it looks cute as well, so always nice to get her to watch a kaiju film!

I see that RoboSeven shirt, got mine too. 💚

Ive been interested in watching it since the first trailer, it looks cute and i always will prefer an Ultraman that has kinder/gentler side to them then then the ruthless killers that dont seem all that heroic

Approximately how much does Ultraman rise?

There is also a mid credit scene...did you see it?

Glad to hear you liked it. I got my sister excited for it because it'll be fun to watch with her 2 year old son.

It was a great movie the rise is beautiful the spacium beam is amazing

Recently saw it, LOVED IT!!!!

I saw today and it was very weird film 😮

Sato's mother disappearance is an obvious hook for a sequel, not an euphemism for death to avoid traumatize children

Watched it not long ago, great movie! Dug all the great little references throughout the film, but ine I definitely didn't expect was a power rangers/super sentai reference. Several times throughout the film, you catch sight of a figure that clearly is based on the dino thunder/Abaranger megazord, with the rex tail drill arm and everything, absolutely loved that one

I enjoyed it. I got my own mini kaiju (my dog, Maisey) to take care of a year and a half ago, so it hit a little different than it would have otherwise. My main criticism would be the lack of lore and the way the second montage skipped over some character development. We don't know how the Ultra powers work here. Are they merged with an ultra? Are they part alien themselves? Never explained. They just ARE Ultramen. And we get like one part of a montage showing him taking a mentoring role in his baseball team and all of sudden he's fully integrated into it. You could tell it wasn't originally meant to be an Ultraman movie, but it was engaging and entertaining throughout, and quite emotional at times. Plus I'm a sucker for an Ultraman that's sympathetic to kaijus, Cosmos is my favourite series. So for all it's flaws I'm quite hyped for a sequel.

IMO it just didn’t make sense to me. I will say that my kids loved it! The visuals are incredible and the colors really popped. BUT I just couldn’t get around a few things. Kaiju are bad? Right? They destroy cities and towns and people die. The “villain” was very ….. likable honestly I felt more for him and his story than I did with the two main characters. The original Ultraman fought them his whole life seemingly but he also loves them? Idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

Congrats on your letterboxd review becoming the 3rd popular review on the Ultraman: Rising letterboxd page!

so it may have been different in the version you watched, but in the netflix version ken and his fathers history is more fleshed out. Ken explains that his father wasn't around very much because he had to be ultraman, and also when ken and his mother left japan, Ken's father stayed behind giving ken the impression that Ken's father had chosen monsters over his family. also Ken felt that the job of being ultraman was forced onto him by his father robbing him of a normal life

Spoiler alert











in the post credits scene Kenji recieves a distress call from his mom, from Nebula M8, which is obviously hinting to a sequel far more connected to the grander Ultraman Verse since it is the homeworld of the Ultra's

It was a bad call for the rip-off Kaiju 8 did better than Ultraman because and shouldn't be surprising it actually has a story with characters who do develop Ultraman Rising didn't even care to do that

Coming from letterboxd. Glad I did. Ultraman was a really fun watch. Gave it 4 stars.
