8 alone, 7 with a parent; 8 in France. The whole movie, watched in full: what's in it, and how to talk about it with your child.

Why is Ultraman: Rising not recommended under 8?

What's in it: giant monsters and an army hunting them; a missing mother, a wounded father; a few insults, a mention of a drug. The detail, fact by fact, is in the zinema guide, which reads the work itself (images, sound, dialogue).

not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 8; from 7, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 8-10, when you like giant monsters, and have already looked after a little brother or sister. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 8.

What it's about

A star athlete reluctantly returns home to take over his father's duties as Ultraman, shielding Tokyo from giant monsters as he becomes a legendary hero.

Why 8

Giant monsters and an army hunting themBattles of giants in Tokyo, collapsing buildings, an army firing at the monsters and chasing the baby to study it; a threatening giant robot at the end. Lots of screams and explosions, no blood.
A missing mother, a wounded fatherThe hero's mother disappeared on a mission and her absence weighs on the whole film; the father is badly hurt before his eyes. The baby monster's mother is shot down, and the little one is heard crying for a long time.
A few insults, a mention of a drugThree or four words like "idiot" or "stupid", an allusion to a sedative injection; nothing else.

What the movie brings

A clumsy father who learns to look after a baby, even a giant one: the night and bottle scenes make the whole family laugh.
A son who blames his father for always being absent, and who understands why.
Polished animation that pays tribute to the old Japanese monster films.

Watching it together

Before

Say beforehand that the baby monster's mum dies and that the hero's father is hurt; the little one's crying touches younger children.

After

at 8 and up

Ken did not want to be Ultraman or look after a baby: can you become good at something you did not choose?
