What's that I see in the distance?
Tsukasa being tolerable and not some douchebitch being explicitly evil for the sake of his Xanatos Gambit that
everyone
but the main character and audience knows? Never thought I'd see the day.
Oh, what? They just moved that over onto Hongo? Well shit...
Anyway, this movie was decent. This is probably the most I've ever wanted to watch Faiz, so kudos on that.
Something I particularly liked was how the action turned out. The Showa Riders were all really nice to watch, being surprisingly flashy and cool. I particularly enjoyed watching their few transformation sequences.
The fights were fun and, unlike Let's Go Kamen Rider, they didn't force everyone to stand back and do nothing while someone else handled the climax. It's rather odd that, despite the larger cast participating, it didn't feel as cluttered as Let's Go.
Everyone felt like they contributed to the climax, and it made it far more enjoyable.
Something this movie pulled off well was proving to me that Tsukasa can be likable without being a complete ass. I'm particularly shocked by the final interaction between him and Narutaki. They felt like actual friends (Or, acquaintances, rather), which I didn't anticipate (After 5 years of "DAM YOO!" *Teleports off* with no variation, seeing some change there was nice).
Though I know little of Faiz or X, I found the moments between the two to be rather nice and touching. It brought a smile to my face, and a non-action scene in a KR crossover movie managing to do that is quite the Rarity.
However, although there was enough good to consider re-watching, there were still many problems.
Most notable of which was just how downright unlikable they made the Showa Riders (I guess all that assholishness from Decade had to go somewhere...). Even if it was all just a ruse for their end goal, the characters acted as if they were completely unaware, and made no sense at all (What was stopping Hongo from running around and asking for help?)
The other issue was the Toqgers and Daigo. Not that they showed up (Rumor has it that if you say "Bureivu" in the mirror three times, Daigo will appear), but that they were kind of shoehorned in. Yeah, the ToQOh scene was funny, but it didn't hold much importance and just kind of seemed unconnected from the rest of the action.
Also, Fifteen's actor kinda sucked.
