Daisato, a second-rate, third-generation superhero, annoys his neighbors with the noise and destruction he causes on the job. But a heroic public image is the least of his concerns.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Somewhere there is a stranger film than Big Man Japan, but it would be hard to find.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
26 Jun 2009
fresh:
This inspired 2007 send-up of the atomic-monster genre gets a fair amount of comic mileage from Daisato (played by the director) being anything but a big man.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Very funny in an insidious way.

Chicago Sun-Times,
25 Jun 2009
rotten:
The film, written, directed and starring stand-up comic Hitoshi Matsumoto has, like most superheroes, a tragic flaw: It isn't funny.

29 May 2009
