As much as I hate to say it, yeah, they are.

I totally loved the stuff with Mr. J, and if episode 17's epic theme song power up didn't do anything for you, I don't know what will. The show doesn't really get worse from where you are, at least not for a while, but you're already past what I would consider some of the best episodes.

I wouldn't go so far as I say I hate it, but there's very little outside the suits that's appealing to me. Kiba's storyline is okay I guess? At the very least I'm more invested in that then anything going on with Takumi.

Although I have to say I'm really enjoying Kusaka. As much as a dick he may be he's a breath of fresh air from all the other mopey male leads in this show.

My big issue with Faiz is that it's relentlessly bleak. It makes Gaim look like Fourze. Ah, I already harped on how sloppy it is.

I really don't know what's wrong with me when Fourze and Faiz were close to equally enjoyable to me.

Finished Kabuto. It started off pretty strong, but then it fell apart at the very end, with things becoming increasingly vague and incongruous. Why did they feel the need to out of nowhere introduce a new guy to betray everyone, when we already had a more than capable final villain with the Worm who can stop time?

God Speed Love.

Wow...I didn't think it could get any worse than Castle in the Demon World, but I was wrong.

WHAT?
Not even that really dumb Den-O / Decade movie is as bad as King of the Castle in the Demon World.

But I liked God Speed Love. At least it's obviously an AU, unlike Castle which, apparently, takes place in a LU (Lazy Universe).

Oh, another beef with "Castle" - there's no Castle in the Demon World as we never even see any Demon World!

Man, that's got to be the worst Rider movie (and that's saying something) and Kiva might be becoming my least favorite Rider (about halfway through).

That may be so, but it's still a really sloppy movie that didn't know what it wanted to be. There was WAY too much focus on the Hiyori having cancer plot. When clearly the more important thing is all the stuff happening with ZECT. Whenever Hiyori would show up on screen, it would bring the story to a grinding halt. The fight scenes were neat I guess? But I didn't know who any of these guys were, so there was no way for me to get invested in said fights. I only know Kagami and Tendou from the show, but even so these are different versions of those characters. Like, yeah Drake was there, but he dies in a really stupid way, being taken out by ZECT Trooper guns, which should have no effect on him. Not to mention he had more powerful weaponry and thus should have taken those guys out in 2 seconds, but instead of doing that or clocking up, he just takes it and goes down like a total chump. The ONLY cool thing that happens in that movie is when Tendou creates the Shibuya meteor.

This got a chuckle, very true. I would've loved Keitaro to be Delta. I really liked his character towards the end.

I'll back this up. I enjoyed it okay, but the Kiva movie is the most *nothing* Rider film I think I've seen. I'd compare it to a Sentai summer movie in terms of how forgettably mediocre it is, and it's lack of connection to the series really does hurt it a lot. They might as well have done an actual AU plot at that point.

Comparatively, I find God Speed Love kind of boring, but it at least had some vision to it. It at least felt like there was a story being told, which is more than I can say about King of the Demon's Bouncy Castle (or whatever its stupid overly long name is).

All valid points - still not as bad as King of the Castle in the Demon's World of Piss Pants Prisoners and Finally Girls Rider Rock but still Give It Up for the Boys because Reasons!
