WRONG.
You're including information you know later on (Notably, ANYTHING about Soukichi. New viewers will know nothing of this man other than he died). What we see is monster shooting blasts, a guy in a white hat get killed and give his hat to some other guy, an explosion, and a transformation.
You have to remain impartial. It was a cool opening, but only served to introduce Shotaro and Philip. I found Anything Goes to be a much better theme than WBX, and the rest of the episode is just par for the course.

It's Kamen Rider. And T-Rex's and Magma's designs weren't anything special to me.

Like I said, that opening was good, but you're giving it way too much credit.
