Like my youth: nostalgic and wasted.

Along with the animated Speed Racer, the original Ultraman TV series is one of the first shows I remember loving as a child, so my demands on this reboot were almost non-existent: show Ultraman, have lots of fights and be as kitsch as possible.

Yes, the movie had that but it tried to bring me more, like a pizzaiolo adding free anchovies I didn't ask for to my pepperoni pizza.

The problem with Shin Ultraman is that it's structured like a video game. It has 4 antagonists and each is tougher to defeat, but the sequence of enemies detracts from the focus of the movie and makes it feel more like a mini-series than a feature film.
Still, it did show Ultraman, it had lots of battles and it was kitsch as hell so it gets a recommend from me.
