A compilation film of Jissoji's Ultraman series. That explains some of the shifter-looking monsters, it also explains the excruciating pace of this film. The funniest thing though is that Jissoji is a lauded arthouse director, who also loved doing these ultra-cheesy B-movie projects. Kaiju fans will have a field with this film.
The monsters look terrible (men in cheap suits, the eyes in particular are just comical), but the maquettes are pretty fun and the pacing makes sure there's no time to slow down and get bored. It's a bit messy if you've never watched the series, then again, it's not all that complex so Kaiju fans won't have any trouble figuring out what's going on. Amusing, but far from great.
