Movie Reviews of Ultraman: Series One, Vol. 1
Movie Review: It's almost Ultraman....
Summary: 3 Stars
Having watched this since age 5 it's pretty close to my heart and full of wonderful nostalgia, but all that aside, this release is a minor letdown. I know the company lost the rights due to a court battle and the DVD publisher will have to stop selling these at one point. It's probably just as well, since this release is nice, but has some agonizing flaws that bring it down, such as odd sound choices that made me guess "would it be the original Ultraman theme song that I've known and loved or will it be the less appealing (for me, anyway) Japanese version?". Additionally, those chose the original video from the Japanese opening titles-a bad choice IMHO. Also, the video playback is less than smooth, sort of like the reason I don't take cable or dish anymore, with frames that seem to have been removed and the actor often "clicks" along. Is it time compression? If so, I have to ask "why". I really hate that and it's distracting in the worst way. Now, this set certainly isn't a total loss. The show has really held up for this fan! I love these shows even at the ancient age of 41. The characters are terrific and give me a warm feeling every time I watch one. I enjoyed the extra interviews of the dubbing crew, even though the quality of the video on that was really really bad. WTF? Nice folks.
Now, this set replaces a bootleg I had and never enjoyed watching too much. I paid about 3 times more for the bootleg so overall I have to say I'm happy. But when this "official" set is replaced but another, better one I'll have no problem upgrading yet again for this show.
