Wizard in Magic land.

Its sad when the movie has better world building then the show. I love how interesting the world is, as not only does the world have magical mayonnaise fish, but it has gone completely to magic and Socialism.

I liked this movie. It did bring up a lot issues with this whole magic world and how people live in it as nonmages, and the outcasts in society. A complete reversal of Wizard's outcast Gates yet keeps Haruto and Koyomi's distance from society intact and keeps a lot of the great elements from the series in there. Shiima was the least annoying kid in Rider I've ever seen and I liked his arc.

The action was amazing, as usual for Wizard. There's a lot of great fight scenes in here. Even the completely CGI Ouroboros Phantom fight was still pretty good. My one complaint with the action is that there's barely any Wizard Infinity in the final fight and it takes place in a boring set.

The plot itself sucks ass, but the discussion the characters have about "Should we change the world," and "Being an outcast," makes up for it enough. So Orma recreates the world with this ring just to exploit a system in the world he's created to get phantoms to rule the world? Why not just create a world of Phantoms then? The movie never really explains whether this ring makes one specific kind of world or gives Sorcerer the ability to remake the world however he wishes, but its still a big plothole.

While I don't love it like Episode Final or Paradise lost, it ranks a fair bit better then some of the other Rider movies I've seen.
