As far as grand finales go it's both good and a little disappointing.

There's a bit near the end from I can't remember who -- Kengo, or Miu, or Yuuki -- where they say that, like the Fourze Driver, they'll always be there when Gentarou needs them... and then we never saw any of them but JK and Ohsugi and the new kids ever again. It's a line that's supposed to be heartwarming at the time, but now it's a little heartbreaking; this promise of eternal friendship and then some of them got too famous to ever come back and we're still a few years out from endless V-Cins and TTFC specials and so that's it for the entire concept. If any show could've justified a full-fledged anniversary reunion special, it'd be the one set entirely at a high school, but again: some folks just got too famous (-slash- expensive) to do a Toei Kamen Rider film, so here we are.
