I don't mean to brag, but you can compared them - their both kaiju movies in their own right and received every possible overhaul necessary to make them modern.
I'm not dissapointed at all with Final Wars, but I do feel it should've been better.
Ultraman on the otherhand, has been nurtured of like a small child since its' conception a few years ago.
The BIG difference here is that Godzilla has supposedly ended, while Ultraman is just beginning to shine on the big screen as a stand-alone storyline. Plus, the harse realism behind it gives it more credibility as a mainstream movie than just another Ultraman film.
I predict it'll do more than Final Wars, but, like I've said before, it's only because it's not opening against anything, and by that time, the CG movie fest will wear thin, allowing Ultraman to step up.
For some strange reason, I see Gamera coming back on top, and Ultraman being it's only box-office rival if there're more Ultraman films like this one.....Although I kind of doubt it.
