Ultraman: Rising is a contender for best animated movie of the year, one of the best superhero movies in years, and one of the all-time greatest American adaptations of a Japanese franchise.

Ultraman: Rising’s canniest trick is the way it sustains narrative momentum while staying true to the realities of new parenthood.

O melhor filme de animação que já vi, história e trilhas sonoras cativantes. Simplesmente tudo perfeito. Com certeza se conseguirem trazer uma ótima história para um possível segundo filme, ele pode conseguir ultrapassar bilheterias de filmes famosos. 10/10

I was expecting a run of the mill action **** was I wrong! What a heart warming story. Had me in tears at the end, I hope the end credit (and all the pos reviews) point to a sequel!!!

At just under two hours, "Ultraman: Rising" is a bit longer than it needs to be, but buoyed by a strong voice cast and a unique point of view that blends elements of superhero action with heartfelt family drama, it's an effective reinvention of a franchise that's had more than its share of reboots over the last 58 years.

The movie’s fun, if a bit staid, when it’s in all-monsters-attack mode, but Ultraman: Rising doesn’t stand out whenever it requires more of your attention.

The movie winds up having it both ways once too often, to the extent that Ultraman’s fate and the movie’s message are ultimately unclear.

The film does pull out all the stops for the finale but, for nearly every moment it stands tall in this conclusion, it also stumbles and falls in the getting there.

Movie Nation
The narrative veers between the action-packed and the insipid often enough to give one whiplash. The messaging is so shallow as to simply invite shrugging off. And the jokes are few and far between.

Whole family enjoyed it a lot, although none except me knew about Ultraman before so I'd say it's great introduction to the franchise. We're looking forward to the sequel.

Ao longodo filme, a animação sofre com as cenas de ação, compensadas pelo ato final, de tirar o fôlego, ainda que não saia do lugar comum. Funciona mais na relação familiar do Ultraman, e toda a origem e composição do nascimento do personagem infelizmente é mal desenvolvido, mas o fortalecimento com os laços de parentesco chegam a emocionar. Ou seja, é um filme irregular, que busca um equilíbrio. Tecnicamente não curto muito as cores escuras usadas em excesso aqui, no entanto, foram eficazes: Ultraman é um filme que funciona para crianças e adultos, com dramas reais e fotografia adequada à função de amadurecer o personagem.

What film was everyone else watching? The animation in this film is pretty good, but the plot is like a Saturday morning TV show, extended to two hours. Are studios really this much to find good screenplays?
