That one Masked Rider episode DreamSword mentioned where Dex takes driver's ed is one of my favorites because of how they used the Black RX footage. It's not seamless like DreamSword said but it was cool to see the staff at the time putting effort to try to match the details. Definitely a must-watch episode on its own.

Watched Revice Forward - Kamen Rider Live & Evil & Demons. In my opinion, Sh Ranger was too hard on this film. Yes, this is a fairly standard tokusatsu action movie that will quickly be forgotten, but at the same time, all its elements are quite functional. You care about the characters, Hiromi looks great as the main character with Daiji and Kagero as support. Very good fights, including non-transformed ones. Lots of returning actors from the show. The song at the end is good. New forms... Power-up Demons is predictable, but not bad. Marvelous Live and Evil in pink colors look strange, but justified by the plot. At the heart of this is a story about an agent who was set up and I even had parallels with Accel`s film. Although still Live & Evil & Demons is not so good. It is clear that he looks losing against the background of the Trio of Deep Sin, which raised the bar very high for Rider`s V-cinema. But also do not forget that before this Zero-One: Others dropped this bar very low. So Revice Forward is a kind of return to normal and deserves to be watched.

Well, I actually liked 01hers, as it continued the focus on the conflict between humans and HumaGears, had lasting consequences for the characters and story, gave some closure to the show and even set up Gai's mission in Outsiders. For Revice, pretty much everything after Episode 46 feels like filler. So, if I ranked Reiwa V-Cinemas, it would probably be Trio of Deep Sin > 01hers > Forward.

Decided to take a break from watching Kamen Rider Blade for a little while and rewatch Kamen Rider Ryuki through my copy of the series on Blu-Ray as well as the Episode Final movie. I am even planning to rewatch Dragon Knight after that.

I just finished the second disc of my copy of the Kamen Rider Ryuki Blu-Ray set not too long ago. I even managed to watch episodes 17-21 of Kamen Rider Blade the other day.

Well, I myself asked not to spoil, but still watched the first twenty minutes of Shin Kamen Rider. What can I say? Impressions are controversial. On the one hand: a very good repetition of scenes from the original show, while in a modern, more dynamic and intriguing presentation. Truly expensive and high-quality special effects. Creepy villain, interesting camera work.
On the other hand, the excessive gore makes the show far more vulgar than previous films in the Tire series. You may have different opinions on the previous adult Showa remakes of the series, but at least there bloodlust serves the purpose of showing the cruelty of the world and setting the atmosphere. Here, immediately after the brutal murder of the Shocker fighters and the shocking revelation of Takeshi's true appearance, awkward jokes in the style of Shin Ultraman begin. This makes the film look not like a tokusatsu, but like a Japanese trash body horror, but at the same time without the madness and cheapness inherent in this genre. And in general, from careful copying, in some places the film looks not so much like a remake, but like an unfunny parody of the original show. Also, some scenes would have been better filmed live. Obviously, the budget allowed, so it was not worth relying on CGI so much. It is too early to compare with the First, but it seems to me that for a good remake Kamen Rider, his director should be a modern Shotaro Ishinomori. And not Anno, not Inoue do not fit this definition. However, I have nothing against their attempts. Maybe next time Sakamoto will try? |
