'Ultraman: Rising' Review - Netflix's Superhero vs. Kaiju Movie Swings Big

Ultraman flies through the water with a baby kaiju on his back in Ultraman: Rising. 

The Big Picture There is a good chance that fans of Ultraman, the long-running iconic science fictionsuperhero franchise, will be divided on Netflix’s new take on the mythos in Ultraman: Rising. Some of this is the nature of the beast when creating a new work that will inevitably be in conversation with such a long history. In the case of Ultraman, this dates back to 1966. In other words, there is both a lot of baggage and pressure that this English-language animated film is carrying with it.

If you’ve seen any movie, there is little to Ultraman: Rising and the path it takes that will surprise you. While not every story needs to reinvent the wheel, the creativity in the animation is often done a disservice by the writing itself. The script, written by Tindle and Marc Haimes, is consistently reliant on contrivances in everything from the dialogue to the conflicts that arise.
