On the other hand, the returning actors are fairly good, Shotaro is over the top but as likeable as ever, Takeshi is made of hotblood, Tsukasa... is himself, but Jin and Takumi steal the spotlight, I don't know how accurate their portrayal is since I haven't watched the original shows, but those two steal the show, their arc is the coolest one and the one that ties better into the death motif, it was easily the best part of the movie.

But the rest feels slow, disjointed and incoherent, sure, Rider team-ups are cool, but if that isn't pakcaged with a good story it comes across as pointless and dissapointing.

Also, the heck was with that ending!?
The alternative didn't sound any better either.

I enjoyed every moment of Shotaro and him being as Joker while it lasted.... Also... Nothing was explained as to where Philp went... da heck...? I read on the wiki that he died by the showa riders but I guess that was pure speculation?

Also watching this really wants me to go watch Faiz now. Another thing I have a gripe about is that 15 lack of other rider arms... I know it must've been a budget reason but... the only different rider arm that we didn't get to see from the Gaim vs Wizard movie was Decade and Gaim himself... which guess was ok for Gaim to against himself... again....... Seriously would've love to see Kiva Arms or Den O arms just for kicks.
