Since there’s been such a big deal made of the latest Vs Movie’s debut, I decided to spend the day watching (almost) nothing but Sentai movies. Here’s some thoughts.
Gekiranger’s movie: Nothing too spectacular, just our heroes (and the Gekirangers) getting teleported to China for a martial arts tournament, which turns out to be a front for a Showa-era villain actor to come out of retirement and threaten the world with robots. I have no idea if any of the Chinese in this movie is accurate either.
Boukenger’s movie: This one is definitely a new favourite and is going some way to actually convince me to watch Boukenger. The opening battle is just so beautifully set up and the conflict with Akashi and his dad never particularly feels out of place. Plus I just can’t hate the concept behind DaiTanken (a mecha made from the auxiliary machines), because it makes the thing’s potential inclusion in episodes of the show seem less contrived.
Shinkenger’s movie: The last one that I haven’t seen that I watched for the first time today. Other than the big “gets a new power” by stabbing the bad guy, I don’t really have a lot of good things to say for this one. The villain isn’t particularly original and the fight choreography is very bland compared to my other brushes (no pun intended) with Shinkenger.
GoGoV: Now we move on to the rewatches. I like the character of Sieg and I especially adore the fact that Kyoko gets powers, even if they’re only temporary. Plus I think the villain looks REALLY good (think of the love child between Grandiene/Bansheera and Salamandes/Olympius).
Ohranger: This is a really weird one. We get a plot with Buldont wanting to make a movie, but it all seems slightly removed from itself until the big climax, which at least has the unique concept of the monster being a train.
Bioman: This is a nice simple tale to follow. Two kids have stumbled upon a map to Bio Base and the bad guys want to steal it so they can unleash their strongest Mecha-Gigan. It definitely makes a good use of the character’s strengths and gives us a pretty epic final fight (for which they give minor henchwoman FarrahCat her own army of clones).
Boukenger vs Super Sentai: In spite of focusing mostly on the last 5 years prior to Boukenger, with Magiranger getting the most of the focus (probably due to the film originally being a vs Magiranger movie), it’s still a pretty good flick. The bad guy’s plan is particularly creative and AkaRed actually makes up for the lack of any returning Reds by being made entirely of former Red’s powers (though due to budget, they’re limited to the last 6, as mentioned before.).
Gaoranger vs Super Sentai: The last one of the day. I’ve always had a soft spot for this movie, due to the clipshow aspect being fairly well realised and a good way to get around the fact we could only get 5 actors back. Plus it has Yusuke/Red Falcon (still one of my favourite Reds), so it can do no wrong in my book.
