Shin Ultraman

After having a blast on reimagined versions of iconic classics such as Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion, a gigantic Japanese superhero is getting the "shin" treatment as part of the Shin Japan Heroes Universe.

Shin Ultraman

Created in honor of five-and-a-half decades of Ultraman, this reimaging of the classic Japanese superhero brings fans a bold and dramatic new take on the giant superhero the world loves.

Because this is a bold new take on Ultraman, this movie has nothing in common with the iconic 1966 TV series. The SSSP you'll see in this movie has nothing in common with the SSSP from the TV show because the producers wanted to deliver the drama and the nonsense this movie delivers. 

With almost no gimmicks involved in the making of this serious reimagining, Shin Ultraman is explosive force majeure fans and newcomers to the Ultraman franchise should check it out for themselves...although some may find that the Ultraman appeared in this reimagining looks skinny compared to the real thing, giving suspicions that our favorite giant went on a workout before filming.

Despite its odd undertones, Shin Ultraman is the no-nonsense reimagining that deserves to follow the footsteps of Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion. Like it or not, this movie is not really a show-off and it sure knows how to be taken very seriously.
