I had to give up after 30-some minutes watching it.
I like the first movie. This one, I just can't.
The first scene is fine. It kind follows the spirit of the first movie, even if it requires you to have watched it. It's worse, but it's fine.
The whole rest that I could bear watching is just an ode to Naomi Scott. She is really pretty, she is a good actress and she does a good job in the movie; I won't dispute it.
But the whole thing seems like the director being in love with her and just wanting to give her a pulpit in which to try an Oscar-winning role, and failing. Because at the end of the day, it's all superficial and I couldn't care less about her character.
There's nothing in this movie.
One jump-scare that you already see coming from miles away, no tension, no involvement, no story,... nothing.
Well, I'm lying. There's a lot of product placement for Voss water.

Feels like nobody in this movie wanted to be in it.
The writers didn't want to write it either.
They watched the first Deadpool, didn't understand it, saw they could make money with it, and created a bland borign copy of it. Of course, putting minimum effort into it.
A few pointless cameos that bear no significance, jokes that are mostly not funny, lots of gore, a few lewd-ish comments, lots of fighting, lots of references to other franchises, ...
They took anything that resembled passion and removed it.
They explained every single reference once or twice, just in case you didn't get it.
You will get a couple (literally a couple) half-smiles and you will wish you could fast-forward the long fights with no creativity on them.
Utter waste of money and time.

From the beginning I knew everything that was gonna happen. And you will too.
No surprises in this movie.
Great animation, great callbacks to the previous Ultraman iterations (which you might get or not, but doesn't matter), great pacing, some sentimentaloid powder, ...
All well mixed to produce a movie that surpases expectations. It doesn't revolutionalise anything; it just executes know tropes very well.
Perfectly good movie to watch an afternoon either by yourself or with your kids. They might get it all, but there's also plenty for them.
This is Netflix not taking risks, being efficient. Which is fine enough.
