I just saw the OOO movie and man was it cool. I do have some things to say about it.

Positives:

Puts everything good about OOO the series and condenses it down into an hour. Seriously, the debate about the role of human desires, character(s) of the week focus, Eiji's relationship to everyone around him, badass rider fights, and Kougami are all here and are balanced relativity well. Heck, even Eiji gets to be Kamen Rider Birth for about 2 minutes.

The end fight sequence, and I thought OOO the series had an epic ending but this movie just blew it away. Fighting a giant monster with Gattakiriba and OOO transforming into his 8 forms and Birth creates and epic NINE RIDER BATTLE.

Neutrals:

Burakawani. He's not used except in one fight sequence and he doesn't seem to do anything that the other OOO forms can't except for the shield thing. I like his scanning charge but I wish more was done with him in this movie.

Fourze Cameo. Showing another rider in the current series' movie is already an iffy concept to me since it takes the spotlight away from the current character that we have developed a bond with by making the cameo rider overpowering the enemy the current rider can't defeat. This would have been on my bad list had Fourze and gave a handshake to Eiji.

Sending part of the city back in time. Didn't love it or hate it.

Negatives

Continuity. Now I know this movie can't be pinpoint exactly which episodes it takes place between but I'm pretty sure its after Dr. Maki absorbs the Purple cores and two of the Greeeds "come back". I kinda like the fact that the movie addresses the purple cores in Eiji's body along with the appearance of the Medgabryu but it creates a plot hole. WHY DON'T THE PURPLE CORES COM OUT AND PROTECT EIJI WHEN HE'S GETTING OWNED BY GARA. Seriously, the excuse Ankh gives doesn't coincide with what we've seen in the series. It's a minor flaw but it shouldn't disturb a person who doesn't think about this movie.

THE VILLIAN. Gara possessing the little kid's mom looks like a reject Bandora/Rita Repulsa and doesn't do anything except laugh and make it rain cell medals. Yes, I know he made a yummy but the yummy did all the work at the beginning of kicking OOO's ass.


Overall, the flaws of this movie are minor nitpicks compared to the great amount of things OOO does.
