THe final battle with Long is awesome and it is nice to see a villain that was just a straight up villain without some tragic backstory to it. Don't get me wrong, I love it when they can make villains have nicely done backstories, as it gives more to their character, but there are times I just want a good old fashioned down right evil villain who is evil just to be evil.

And why exactly aren't they continuity? There's literally nothing in that film that contradicts either series at all. It's an official epilogue to Gekiranger and takes place in the earlier part of Go-Onger. I don't know where this idea of VS movies never being cannon comes from but I've heard plenty of people say it. As far as I'm concerned they're cannon unless something featured there or in the respective shows could contradict it's existence.

And I don't really feel it ruins the death when the characters return from the after life to help out the other heroes knowing they have to stay dead after. Abare Killer had to go back to hell (at the time being it's most powerful denizen) and as I recall Rio and Mele had to as well. It's just a by product of the plot but it's always cool to see dead heroes return even temporarily.
