Ultraman: Rising adds an interesting wrinkle of childrearing to the franchise's high-octane formula, making for a colorful romp fit for the whole family.

Peter Debruge

Variety

The idea is to bring father-child stakes into all this mayhem, which works to a degree. But in the movie’s desire to wring tears...The film winds up having it both ways once too often.

Hollywood Reporter

Ultraman: Rising will likely touch viewers, especially ages 10 and under, for its story of a young man trying to be a good dad while also reconnecting with his own estranged father, in what ultimate becomes a parable about responsible parenting.

Ultraman: Rising may be a kaleidoscopically color-timed action adventure of throw-down battles, but it’s really about parenting in its many shapes and forms.

Ultraman may have learned the balance of parenthood, but his balance on making a movie like this one has some room for improvement.

Rated: 7/10

Ultraman: Rising also offers a visually evocative good time. It follows on many prior iterations of the classic Japanese character, although it's not necessary to have seen any to appreciate this film.

I was expecting a run of the mill action anime....WOW 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!!!
