Just a totally unnecessary and boring remake of an already boring series (which was better than this, if you can believe it) made by an ex-Otaku and Ultraman fan who thinks of himself as the pseudo- intellectual that he isn't and has never been because...because he repeats the same depressive, bloody and overcomplicated for the sake of overcomplication stuff that he's been doing since 98% of the second part of Evangelion and in particular the crappy End of Evangelion took the best of him, with the decent Cutie Honey movie as the lone exception. It fails as a tokusatsu, it fails as a remake of the 70's series, but it completely excels at showing why no one sane in his or her mind would care one bit about the Shin Japan Heroes marketing tool in the hands of the current version of Hideaki Anno, not even the lovely Yoko Takahashi making a single for it could save it. Avoid at all costs.
