I'm brand new to the Ultraman Movies so I haven't watched a lot of those movies, but I was definitely excited to watch this movie and after watching it, Ultraman: Rising (2024) is easily one of the best movies of 2024 so far.

Positives for Ultraman: Rising (2024): The thing that I'll definitely remember this movie for is the theme of family. The them fo family started off slow, but once I got to a certain point in the story, this story hit me hard with a lot of emotion. I also really enjoyed the journey of the main character of Ultraman in this movie. When you first meet Ultraman, he starts off as a selfish punk but as soon as he meets a certain character, he starts to grow and change into a much better person and hero. I also really liked the villain and he's one of those villains who really isn't a villain, he just a normal guy who's lost a lot in his life and he just wants to protect the people from the Kaiju even if that means he has do some horrible things. You can sympathize with him and his motivations, but he also needs to be stopped at the same time. And finally, the action in this movie is absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

Overall, Ultraman: Rising (2024) is easily one of the best movies that I've watched this and it's definitely one that I'll remember for years to come.
