A hero makes a big decision in ‘Ultraman Rising’
I can’t say I have watched anything Ultraman related before. The character is simple enough and takes on giant monsters and finds a way to beat them. When I heard about Ultraman Rising I thought it could be a fun movie to watch. I was able to get a screener of this film and here is my thoughts on it.

You can read the plot for Ultraman Rising here:
With Tokyo under siege from rising monster attacks, baseball star Ken Sato returns home to take on the mantle of Ultraman. But the titanic superhero meets his match when he reluctantly adopts a 35-foot-tall, fire-breathing baby kaiju. Sato must rise above his ego to balance work and parenthood while protecting the baby from forces bent on exploiting her for their own dark plans.

This was a pretty good movie. We see someone take on the mantle of a hero, and things are not going that great for them. They take on a powerful creature and beating them proves to be no easy task. Once the battle appears to be over, something happens that changes things for them. A rash decision is made, and it is one that makes their life more difficult. Yet through all the tough times it ends up making them a better person. Once this film comes to a close, it is clear things will be different from now on.
