A decent story and animation featuring cute Kaijus

I am not really familiar with the Ultraman lore. I know he's a guy who can grow to the size of a monster and often fights against kaijus. There is some sort of Kaiju Defense Force that also fights kaijus. Somehow, this film becomes the story of Ultraman defending a kaiju baby from the KDF, which is ironic, but kind of fun.However, the true strength (and weakness) of the movie is not in the monster battles, but in the story of a young man trying to juggle career, family, child raising and personal life at the same time. Did I want this in a Kaiju movie? Maybe not, but at the same time it was what gave the characters depth and the story emotional power.Also, this is a kiddie film, designed to appeal to small children and their parents who, probably, try to juggle a lot of things too, so technically it was good product.

Wow

So it's a Netflix movie, keep that in mind.But overall, this hits all the right boxes and even a few surprises. The emotional aspect is really well done and they make you care about the characters along the way.Make sure you have seen the first one it'll be a little confusing. I appreciated the they didn't force any romance and they didn't make everything perfect for the character.As a parent I thought they did a good job of displaying some of the difficulties that come with raising kids, especially if they sometimes act like monsters.If you have Netflix, give this movie a shot. I think you'll like it.

The 8 and 9 ratings are exaggerating

Title, everyone giving this 8, 9, and 10/10 scores either aren't serious or rate any mildly good movie a 10 out of 10. This movie was an entertaining childrens movie at best, I dont see many adults or teens rating this movie within their top 20, which is what I believe should constitute a 9 or higher score. This is why I think the 8 plus ratings are either being disingenous or the reviewers rate every movie a high score. Yes, it has good animation. But the characters are boring and everything they do is quite telegraphed. If the animation alone can hold your attention, I say go for it. The only honest sounding review here comes from the one that claims they watched it in two sittings. It's an ok movie that will probably take two sittings due to its underwhelming story. Either that or viewers will skip through it to get to its fantastic animation, no judgement on my part, I was very tempted to do the exact same thing.
