Ultraman Zearth 2: Super Human Big Battle - Light and Shadow
1997
This sequel to the 30th Anniversary celebratory Ultraman farce, Ultraman Zearth, is much less of a spoof, though it still milks the premise for humour. With some great-looking SFX and a theme that involves finding strength through inner certainty, its 66-minute running time provides sometimes compelling, generally wholesome entertainment, with less overacting (the worst offenders from the first film being effectively sidelined from the beginning) and some decent martial-arts battles.
