It's a movie featuring a CGI Ultraman. Doesn't look too shabby. Tsubaraya is suing.
Not mad, at least it's not Chaiyo.

Huh.
Fuck it then.
Chaiyo is desperate. If I were a judge on the case I'd rule against them for the simple fact that they waited until Noboru Tsuburaya was dead to claim they had rights to the IP. How convenient of them.
