As I move through the Heisei era, I've tended to leave the movies til last. I did this with Ryuki, and just did the same with Faiz. I will do this with Blade when I start it in a few days.

Kamen Rider The First: It's my break between shows so I figured I can get some more movies out of the way between it. I really loved this movie, it was fantastic. I really enjoyed this version of Hongo a lot, he was extremely relatable in this movie with his quiet disposition and how he wanted Asuka to hate him rather to help her out, I really love this Hongo. It got quick to him being turned into the Kamen Rider which was great and quick to him breaking free of being evil too. I loved that part a lot, that it was the beauty of the snow, the water crystals that he has a passion for that broke him free of the mind control not just the love of the woman he cares for. I thought that was just a fantastic scene. This movie was masterful with it's combat Hongo and Ichimonji were both insanely kickass it was unbelievable. This had the motorcycle fights that Kamen Rider definitely needed to have somewhere, that was so freaking cool and amazing. Hayato was different than what I was expecting reminded me a lot of Otoya from Kiva but it was very good and I think it worked well to balance off of Hongo who quiet and reserved with Ichimonji's outspoken and charming personality. I think that the Miyoko and Haruhiko's back story sub plot felt very unneeded I mean yes I felt sympathy for them and there stories however it didn't feel like we needed to really care about these characters if there wasn't going to be more to them. I still liked them though. Though that is really messed up what Shocker did to Hayato though and to all of these people they transformed. This was a very good Kamen Rider movie, this was a great martial arts movie, this was a great superhero movie, just probably not the best modernization of the original series but I am not sure since I haven't seen it. Still this was one of my favorite Kamen Rider movies and can't wait to see The Next.

I know I just posted something denigrating about The First in the new Rider movie thread, but I will say that it actually did have some things that worked pretty well. It's not enough to off-set all the stock Inoue bullshit like the enormous amount of running time devoted to the backstories of throwaway villains, but there were some cool moments. If nothing else, the suit designs were good and the action was pretty topnotch. It's just a pity that the movie doesn't play up those elements more.
That said, The Next is still complete garbage and I doubt even KyoryuGreen will find many redeeming qualities in it (that's no offense to KG, you just seem to find something you absolutely love in damn near everything you watch). |

I wanted to like The First and it was so dull. It was trying to be a darker, modern and gritter version of the original but fails to keep the story interesting. I didn't like the characters and the fight scenes come off as weak to me. I still never seen The Next because I hear nothing but bad things about it.
