Big Man Japan (2007)
Directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto
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. Besides defending Japan from bizarre monsters, he must deal with an agent seeking to brand him with ads, a superhero grandfather with Alzheimer's and a family embarrassed by his incompetence.

What critics compared Big Man Japan to
At this point, I prefer off-the-beaten-path big-monster stuff like Big Man Japan or The Host or even Colossal.
When the slightly similar Big Man Japan skewered kaiju movies with a "realistic" look at the characters, it gave us an antisocial hero who hates growing large, as well as his senile ancestor who still has monster powers.
