One long title I know. As the first tokusatsu hero show and the show that got me hooked on the genre, Ultraman really holds a special place in my wussy nerd heart. But I've been very reluctant to mention the red and silver giant as of late. Most every time I mention him on this board the comment is handwaved. Well this time, it was too darned cool for me to resist. Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy Legends the Movie stands out, not only for having an extremely long title, but because it has an incredibly huge scale. For the first time Ultraman's been given the Hollywood blockbuster treatment while still withholding the same charm of the original.
Reasons why this movie is awesome:
-Evil Ultraman Belial kicks ass.
-Hollywood blockbuster, with WB signed on.
-Talks of a possible US DVD release (probably with a shorter title).
-More than 100 monsters on screen (Godzilla: Final Wars had only 14).
Anyway, think of it what you will. Here's the trailer:
