So it's a Netflix movie, keep that in mind.
But overall, this hits all the right boxes and even a few surprises. The emotional aspect is really well done and they make you care about the characters along the way.
Make sure you have seen the first one it'll be a little confusing. I appreciated the they didn't force any romance and they didn't make everything perfect for the character.
As a parent I thought they did a good job of displaying some of the difficulties that come with raising kids, especially if they sometimes act like monsters.
If you have Netflix, give this movie a shot. I think you'll like it.

Wow
The 8 and 9 ratings are exaggerating
Title, everyone giving this 8, 9, and 10/10 scores either aren't serious or rate any mildly good movie a 10 out of 10. This movie was an entertaining childrens movie at best, I dont see many adults or teens rating this movie within their top 20, which is what I believe should constitute a 9 or higher score. This is why I think the 8 plus ratings are either being disingenous or the reviewers rate every movie a high score. Yes, it has good animation. But the characters are boring and everything they do is quite telegraphed. If the animation alone can hold your attention, I say go for it. The only honest sounding review here comes from the one that claims they watched it in two sittings. It's an ok movie that will probably take two sittings due to its underwhelming story. Either that or viewers will skip through it to get to its fantastic animation, no judgement on my part, I was very tempted to do the exact same thing.
Rising above the rest in great film magic.
Giving this an 8/10 rating
This brilliant film is in the cinemas now, I watched it in one, this really caught me off guard, in a good way. Adapting these big Japanese characters is a very difficult task, and almost all fall, but thankfully, they decided to do this animated, and spend time on story and character. The animation, by ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) is best there is this year.
Three good animated films, this week, they are 'Inside Out 2, Deep Sea' and this. What a week for cinema! The directors Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima have done a clever looking film, some very good cinema photography and clean direction, makes things very pleasant. Shannon Tindle and Marc Haimes write a family story with three points of view, and you can debate on who is the real evil is, in this, so you can agree on motives or not.
To be clear, you don't have to know anything about 'Ultraman' to enjoy this, the design is sharp and colourful, dialogue is not wishy washy, and a great cast is held together by a soundtrack that punches along. A great watch in the cinema.
